AUSTRALIAN RYE GRASS 
Used extensively for lawns, particularly in the Imperial 
Valley, Salt River Valley, Arizona, and similar climates. It 
grows faster than Blue Grass, is coarser and will stand con¬ 
siderable abuse or neglect. For back yards, where it might be 
walked over frequently or where children play, it is a very good 
grass. (Lb. 30c) (10 lbs. $2.50) postpaid. Ask for quantity price. 
PACIFIC DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
Seed of this variety is similar to Italian Rye. It is very quick 
growing and hardy and produces a large amount of nutritious 
herbage. Its duration being but two or three years, it is not 
adapted for permanent pastures, yet highly valuable for rota¬ 
tion of crops. It is especially adapted for sowing in autumn 
with oats, barley, rye or clover, as a catch crop for fattening 
stock. Sow 30 lbs. per acre. (Per lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) post- 
oaid. Write for quantity price. 
PACEY’S RYE GRASS

fall. Sow 30 lbs. per acre. Imported seed. (Per lb. 30c) (10 
lbs. $2.50). Write for quantity price.

RED TOP (Agrostis vulgaris) 
Red Top is a perennial grass which grows from a few inches 
to five feet in height under varying conditions of soil and cli¬ 
mate. But the average height is probably 18 to 20 inches. It is 
now more highly esteemed as a pasture grass than for a hay, 
No other useful grass would seem so well adapted for grow¬ 
ing in wet situations, even in places so moist as to be saturated 
with water for a considerable portion of the late autumn and 
the early spring. Soil should be carefully prepared, thoroughly 
pulverized and clean of weeds. Sow broadcast 14 lbs. of seed 
per acre. Also planted with other grasses for lawns. 
(Per lb. 35c) (10 lbs. $3.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
RUSSIAN BROME (Bromus inermis) 
Bromus inermis is one of our hardiest perennial grasses; 
no amount of cold will kill it. It withstands the severest 
drought, and water may stand on it for weeks. It will grow 
on any rich soil. 
It requires twenty pounds of seed per acre. 
Russian Brome Grass is essentially a winter pasture grass, 
but it also makes good hay. All kinds of stock are fond of 
and no other grass, unless it be orchard grass, will furnish 
grazing for so large a portion of the year. Its producing and 
feeding value for hay is about equal to that of timothy.

riRPHAPn COCKSFOOT 
(Dactylis glomerata) 
This grass does well sown either with or without other 
grasses. It is frequently sown in such pasture mixtures as 
white clover, red clover and rye grass. If sown alone, 25 or 
30 lbs. of the Cocksfoot seed will insure a good stand of grass. 
(Per lb. 35c) (10 lbs. $3.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
HARDING GRASS 
This grass is a true perennial, one seeding being good for 
years. It cannot become a pest because all spread is from the 
crown. It never bloats. Will stand heavy tramping of sheep or 
cattle. Old pastures or burned over land should be sown after 
the heavy winter rains have set in. (Per lb, $2.00) postpaid. 
RHODES (Chloris Gayana) 
Rhodes grass does not grow underground sprouts like John¬ 
son or Bermuda grass, but sends runners over the surface like 
the strawberry plant. It is easily eradicated. 
Rhodes Grass will smother Bermuda and other weeds be¬ 
cause of its dense growth. It is easily eradicated by being 
plowed once and let stand for sixty or ninety days. It grows 
on alkali lands and adds humus to the soil. 
The best time to plant Rhodes Grass is from March 1st to 
August Ist. Broadcast twelve pounds of seed per acre, 
(Per lb. 75c) (10 lbs. $6.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
DALLAS (Paspalum dilatatum) 
Grows on any kind of soil—endures some alkali—excellent 
for permanent pasture on marsh or mesa—grows winter and 
summer with moisture—excellent for hay—may be cut every 
six weeks—becomes dormant with drouth but revives with 
less moisture than any other grass, yet will survive if sub¬ 
merged for several weeks—stools and seeds freely. 
The seed takes root among the weeds and devil grass, chok¬ 
ing out everything in its way. The dense matting roots make 
a thick sod capaWe of supporting the cattle on marshy land. 
The stock relish it fully as well as alfalfa. It is as easy to 
eradicate as Timothy or as any other bunch grass. Ten pounds 
is sufficient to sow 1 acre broadcast. It thrives in high altitude. 
(Per lb. 75c) (10 lbs. $7.00) postpaid). Write for quantity price. 
BERMUDA (Cynodon dactylon) 
Bermuda Grass is unquestionably the best pasture grass In 
the south, viewed from the standpoint of palatability, pro¬ 
ductiveness and endurance. There are reasons for believing 
that in its proper sphere it will produce more grazing and more 
meat than blue grass under the most favored conditions. Sheep 
can graze upon it from 7 to 9 months in the year according to 
locality. Sow seed during May and June, five pounds per acre. 
(Per lb. 40c) (10 lbs. $3.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
ALFILARIA (Erodium cicutarium) 
Alfilarla or “filaree” grows wild without any attention in all 
classes and conditions of soil except swamps and excessive 
alkali. Soon after the first heavy fall rains have saturated the 
ground the “filaree” begins to make its appearance. It is good 
pasturage at all stages of its growth, even when mature and 
dried up. In nutritive qualities it compares favorably with al¬ 
falfa and live stock of all kinds fatten on it readily. It is hardy 
even where the winter temperature reaches zero or below. 
Sow 10 pounds of seed per acre. Sow just before the rainy 
season. (Per lb. $1.50) postpaid.
