1934 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
GRASSES FOR PASTURE AND HAY 
English or Perennial Rye 
Grass 
(Lolium Peranne)—One of the best and most 
nutritious grasses for permanent meadows and 
pastures; it endures close cropping and recovers 
quickly after cutting. Does best on strong, rich 
soils. (24 lb. per bu.) 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 85c; 
10 lbs., $1.40; 25 lbs,, $2.85; 50 lbs., $5.25; 
100 lbs., $9.90. 
Meadow Fescue 
Or English Blue Grass—Now, this grass suc¬ 
ceeds well in almost all soils from high, dry land 
to moist, wet land standing the summer heat 
excellently. It is valuable as a pasture grass 
being one of the earliest in the spring and latest 
in the fall. It is highly recommended as a large 
yielding, nutritious pasture and hay grass for all 
sections of the country. Sow either in the 
spring or fall at the rate of twenty to thirty 
pounds per acre. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 
lbs., $1.15; 25 lbs., .$2..^5; 50 lbs., $4..50; 100 
lbs., $8.20. 
Red Top 
Choice (Agrostis Vulgaris)—A permanent 
and very hardy, native perennial grass succeed¬ 
ing best on moist land, making a good pasture 
when fed close. It is also valuable for low, wet 
meadows producing large crops of good hay. It 
accommodates itself to a variety of soils, how¬ 
ever, even to quite dry situations and stands a 
hot climate admirably. Mix a third Red Top 
when you sow your lawn with Blue Grass and 
\^Tite Clover and be assured of a good stand. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 25 lbs., 
$3.10; 50 Ihs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
Timothy 
(Phleum Pratense)—Dakota Grown; thor¬ 
oughly recleaned, the best Timothy Seed on 
earth. You know what Timothy is, and you 
can grow it. .A few years ago it was almost 
unknown to the farmers and stock growers of 
South Dakota; today it is growing successfully 
in the eastern half of South Dakota, from the 
south to the north line. Most farmers have 
their Timothy and clover meadows and pastures. 
Our seed is all northern grown, and of the very 
best grade. (45 Ib. per bu.) 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
70c; 10 lbs., $1.10; 25 lbs., $2.25; 50 lbs., $3.90; 
100 lbs., .$7.45. 
Eddie Dean and the winners in the 
W.N.A.X. Gasoline Dealers Popularity Con¬ 
test. These ladies won a week’s free trip to 
the Chicago Fair—and did they enjoy it! Ask 
Eddie Dean, who was in charge of the party. 
Crested Wheat Grass 
The newest and very best Crass for the 
Plains Regions. Crested Wheat Grass is an 
introduction by the Bureau of Plant Industry 
from the steppes region of Siberia. It is adapted 
to a rainfall under 20 inches. In comparison 
with slender wheat grass and brome grass it is a 
slightly heavier yielder of hay, producing from 
1 to 1/2 tons per acre. It becomes green in 
Spring even earlier than brome grass and stays 
green later in the fall. The crested wheat will 
spread widely and completely cover the ground. 
Absolutely cold hardy. 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.65; 
10 lbs., $3.15; 25 lbs., $7.35; 50 lbs., $14.10; 
100 lbs., $27.50. 
Reed Canary Grass or Phalaris 
-A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying, poorly 
drained soils—in fact, the only grass we know of 
for reclaiming waste, marshy lands. On many 
farms are to be found low wet situations where 
neither Red Top, Alsike, nor anything else will 
grow, and for these situations, Phalaris or Reed 
Canary Grass is the thing to plant. The leaves 
are quite broad and the plant flourishes, often 
growing 5 to 7 feet high. Underground stems 
rapidly form a tough sod and hold hay machin¬ 
ery without difficulty. Yields of 4.57 tons of hay 
per acre from two cuttings, have been reported. 
One acre will pasture 3 or 4 cows and may be 
grazed closely except in the fall. If you have 
any wet or swampy land, Phalaris is the grass 
to plant. Broadcast 5 to 6 pounds per acre or 
drill in 1^-inch deep. As the seed shatters so 
easily and present acreage is limited, the seed 
is expensive but it is a real investment. 1 lb., 
80c; 5 lbs., $3.50; 10 lbs., $6.00. Write for 
prices on larger amounts. 
BUY GURNEY’S SELECTED SEED CORN 
Minnesota 13 
We Have Originated and Introduced 
Many of the Best Varieties of Early Corn 
The Corn That Added Millions of Dollars to Farm Values 
and Crowded the Corn Belt 300 Miles Further North 
Minnesota 13 — 
When the Minnesota 
Department of -Agri¬ 
culture originated and 
disseminated Minneso¬ 
ta No. 13 they could 
not realize the count¬ 
less millions of dollars 
they were adding to the 
agricultural wealth of 
the Northwest. This 
was the forerunner of 
the early varieties that 
madecorngrowing prof¬ 
itable much further 
north than it had been 
previously. They gave 
us a high yielding, a 
high protein content 
corn that would grow several hundred miles north of the profitable corn 
producing belt heretofore. 
Minnesota No. 13 is a yellow variety and has been grown successfully as 
far north in North Dakota and Montana as the Canadian line. With us May 
25 planting matures about September 1, depending, of course, on the season. 
This variety is outyielding many later varieties by actual weight per acre. 
We do not advise planting Minnesota No. 13 for the main crop further north 
than central North Dakota because unusual weather conditions might 
destroy the crop further north than that. To the people of Kansas, Okla¬ 
homa, Iowa and Nebraska, who are short feed from the previous crop, plant 
Minnesota 13 for early feed or hogging down. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 65c; 28 
lbs., 95c; I bu., $1.40; 5 bu., $6.75; 10 bu., $13.00. 
Gurney’s August 15th Corn 
This corn is of our own origination and is nearly identical 
with Minnesota No. 23. Ours was introduced and cata¬ 
logued by us one year previous to the Minnesota stations 
sending out their No. 23. Produces a medium sized ear of 
light yellow corn with a white cap. It is extra early or 
earlier than Northwestern Dent. It is more desirable corn 
on account of its higher feeding value and many people 
object to a real red corn like Northwestern Dent. The 
ears of August 15th are almost perfect in shape and it is a 
very desirable corn for early feeding for August, and 
especially valuable for the main crop variety for the ex¬ 
treme north, even into central Canada. It has sayed the 
pocketbook of the southern farmer by furnishing him te^ 
long before any other varieties. Plant it for hogging on. 
Your hogs will enjoy a scrap with a good field of August 
15th. Plant it by mid-May and you can husk it on the 15th 
of August. 1 lb., 20c; 14 lbs., 75c; 28 lbs., $1.05; 1 bu., 
$1.65; 5 bu., $8.00; 10 bu., $15.00,
