State Nursery and Seed Co. 
BLUE GRASS 
(20 to 25 Lbs. to the Acre.) 
Kentucky "Peerless" — We wish to call particular attention 
to the cleanliness of our Blue Grass. As usually sold by 
most seedsmen it weighs 19 to 20 lbs. to the measured 
bushel. Our seed is thoroughly recleaned. 
Kentucky "Placer" Grade — Used extensively for lawns and 
parking streets; also makes excellent paslure or hay.

BROME GRASS 
(15 to 20 Lbs. Per Acre.) 
Bromus Inermis, "Peerless" Grade 
A wonderful drouth resister. A 
grass for the stock raiser. All 
cattle like it. Will drive out 
Russian Thistle, also Black Mus- 
tard. Drouth defying, frost re- 
sisting. Yields enormous crops 
of splend d hay and affords early 
and abundant pasturage. We 
have setn some very fine crops 
of Brome Grass and Alfalfa 
mixed, which makes an excellent 
hay for horses and cattle. Try 
it. These both mature and cure 
at the same time. Our Peerless 
grade of this magnificent grass 
is unequal'Cd for purity and high 
germination, and less seed is re- 
quired to the acre than any other 
grade. From good seed, good 
crops grow. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS 
(20 Lbs. Per Acre.) 
Or Western Rye Grass — This is a valuable native grass, 
very hardy and makes good hay. Much valued for crop 
rotation. Seed about 20 lbs. to the acre, and do not cover 
too deeply. Some growers advise the mixture of Red 
Clover with this grass and for hay this assures easier 
handling in harvesting. It has proven a valuable crop 
in the Dakotas and also in Northwestern Canada. On 
account of the very short crop and scarcity of Brome 
Grass this season, Slender Wheat Grass will be used ex- 
tensively. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
(20 to 25 Lbs. Per Acre.) 
"Peerless" Grade — A valuable grass for pasture or hay land, 
and on account of its earline.ss is very valuable for a 
permanent pasture. It furnishes the first green grass in 
the spring and until lafje in the fall. When closely 
cropped it .grows up very quickly and is ready for graz- 
ing again in ten to twelve days. When grown for hay, 
more than one crop can be obtained in one season, and 
when only one crop is cut the aftergrowth is very heavy 
and gives splendid and rich pasture till late in the fall. 
It will stand drouth and is hardy. It grows in tufts, and 
is therefore best sown with Red Clovers, rye grass etc. 
It is well suited for shady places, such as orchards and 
groves.

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
(25 to 30 Lbs. Per Acne.) 
"Peerless" Grade— A strong growing, hardy perenniial grass, 
valuable both for grazing and hay. Also makes a fme 
lawn and does not require the close care that Blue 
Grass does as it will flourish better under twes or m 
shady locations.

SUDAN GRASS 
One of the Most Remarkable New Forage Crops Grown. 
4__ 
-ff. - 
SUDAN GRASS— The original form of the cultivated 
Sorghum. It was brought to the United States 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in 1909. It is 
a tall annual grass, and ranges in height from 4 to 8 feet. 
The stems are small and somewhat more leafy than 
Johnson Grass, which it most nearly resembles. Like 
the Sorghum crop, it must be planted each spring and 
dies when the first frost comes. It usually matures 90 
days from planling. Its feeding value marks it easily 
as one of the dependable crops for the farm. 
HOW TO PLANT. 
Use 3 lbs. per acre if in cultivated rows; 5 lbs. per acre 
in drills, and 16 to 24 lbs. per acre broadcast. It should 
not be planted until all danger of frost is past and the 
ground thoroughly warm, as the young plant is more ten- 
der than Sorghum. 
HARVESTING. 
The crop should be cut as soon as the grass is fully 
headed and early cutting is advised where the crop is to be 
used for hay. If grown for seed it should be cut when 
the seed is rip© and fully matured. It may be harvested 
with a mower or grain binder. If planted in drills it can 
be readily harvested with a corn binder. When sown for 
seed it is best to bind it as it is much easier to handle it 
in threshing.
