Great Drought Resisting Grass 
v:. 
This crop comes from the Great Plains region where 
drought is a habit Instead of an exception. A grass 
that flourishes there must of necessity be a drought 
Furthermore it has a good feeding value. 
Bromus InermiLs or Brome Grass has these characteristics and thus ranks 
among the best of our gra.ss crops. A big demand has been created for this 
crop and seldom is there enough seed to supply the demand. 
Seed Supplies Shorter 
The big demand for hay and pasture plus the natural reduc¬ 
tion of extreme drought has caused a considerable reduction 
of seed supplies. We advise all customers wishing ^tomus to place orders just 
as early as possible. We know we can’t get any more when this is gone. 
Use It for Hay and Pasture 
Bromus makes a heavy sod. The grass is very nutritious. Makes good yield of 
excellent hay. Seed, is quite large and light. Looks somewhat like chaff. Our 
stocks are recleaned with the greatest care. Cleaning Bromus is a slow process 
but we want you to have a fine, clean quality and prepare a first class article. 
Sow about 20 lbs. per acre. There are thousands of acres that would be making 
money fbr the operators if they were seeded to this grass. 
Starts Early—Grows Late 
You will notice Bromus in a pasture greening up earlier than most grasses and 
late ip the faU it’s still producing for you. It is a perennial crop. Is not difS- 
cult to kill out when you want to change the ground. Prepare a good seed bed 
for Bromus. Sow Broadca.st and hatrow to cover well but not too deep. Our 
Prices are low considering market's and we have a very fine quality of seed. 
We again urge early orders. See page 32 for wholesale prices on all 
grass seeds. Small lot's postpaid, 1 lb., 35c: 5 lbs., S 1.351
