BR0MUS INERMUS OR 
BROME GRASS. 
DESCRIPTION. It originated in Russia, and is 
recommended on account of the manner in which 
it has stood on the Hungary plains, where the dry, 
sterile nature of the country and the long continued 
droughts make so many plants succumb. This 
Bromus, however, stands well, and has been known 
for thirty years to stand when such robust crops as 
alfalfa have been destroyed. It gives a luxuriant 
crop, particularly on fresh sandy loam soil, and 
where the climate is warm. Animals eat it greedily 
whether in the green or the dry stare, so that it 
can be gr^wn or saved for winter use.. The seed is 
sown in the early spring. It is also useful in filling 
up gaps where alfalfa or clover crops have failed 
Yields enormous crops of splendid hay and affords 
early and abundant pasturage. The importance and 
value of this class to the Northwest is not to be es- 
mated. It is an absolute and thoroughly proven 
success. It adapts itself to almost every condition 
of soil and climate, and to any use to which grass 
may be put, equalling in quality and rivaling in yield 
almost any other grass. One sowing will stand for 
years. Succeeds on poor soils and yields 4 to 5 tons 
per acre. We have one grade of seed only— THE

THE Honev PbANT 
WHY YOU SHOULD PLANT 
GIANT SPURRY. 
Because it is the most prolific fodder and hay 
plant for sandy soils, for worn out land, for poor 
and doubtful soils known. It flourishes on sandy 
worn soils, where no other plant flourishes, and 
returns big yields every time. It comes next 
to clover as a fertilizer. Take the poorest land 
or the worst land that you can imagine and sow 
20 lbs. of Giant Spurry per acre. Do this two 
years, and you will have a soil for wheat, oats and 
potatoes. 
Its value as a manurial plant on light soils is 
pronounced. It seems to enrich the soil more 
rapidly than other plants. It is readily eaten 
hy cows, sheep and cattle. The reports received 
from parties who have tested Giant Spurry are 
very gratifying indeed. Everybody pronounces 
it a tremendous hay producer, and the best 
green fertilizer. Lb., 25c, postpaid; 10 lbs.

TREE SEEDS. 
Many varieties are easily grown. It should 
also t>e remembered that while some kinds 
sprout at once, others require several weeks, 
and a few lie domant a whole season. Ever- 
green seed should be kept in a cool, dry sand. 
Those with hard shells should be planted in 
the autumn. The seeds of other deciduous 
trees should be planted from April to the 
middle of May in drills about 2 feet apart 
and covered about half an inch in depth. 
Varieties marked thus o will do better if 
lanted in the fall.
