OLDS’ TIMOTHY, RED TOP AND LIGHT GRASSES 
OLDS’ TIMOTHY SEED 
Our Timothy Seed is the purest and best that can be obtained. It is all 
^thoroughly recleaned and free from noxious weeds with high tests, most 
/of it testing 99.6 per cent purity or better. 
Our prices may look high as compared with last year’s prices but they are 
likely to be still higher before spring. The timothy crop was a short crop with 
very little carry-over. In fact timothy is one of the firmest items on the entire 
list of field seeds and has been very firm all the fall.

NEW PASTURE MIXTURE FOR 1934 
The Division of Forage Crops, U. S. Department of Agriculture _ calls attention to the fact that as a result of the 
A. A. A. program approximately 40 million acres throughout the United States of such crops as wheat, corn and tobacco 
will be withdrawn from production and devoted to pasture, cover crops, meadow crops and soil improvement crops. 
They are suggesting a number of “Pasture Plant Mixtures,’’ adapted to different sections. The one that they 
recommend for our section we are offering our customers as our “New Pasture Mixture for 1934.’’ This mixture is 
made up of Kentucky Blue Grass, Timothy, Red Top, Red Clover and Alsike, the percentages of the seeds used in the 
mixture running in the order named. Sow 20 pounds per acre for a good stand. 
We expect a great demand for this high grade mixture 
recommended by the Government and made up from our 
own stocks of Olds’ tested seeds. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 35c. By freight: Lb., 25c; 5 
lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $14.00; 500 lbs. at

REED CANARY GRASS 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable new perennial hay 
and pasture crop especially desirable for low, marshy 
land. Nothing like. it has been thus far produced as it 
puts land that is just a dead waste into production of 
valuable forage. Continues to grow without care or atten¬ 
tion. Very highly recommended by the Wisconsin and 
Minnesota Experiment Stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing season as it starts 
very early in the spring, and beginning before June 1st, 
will furnish an abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good quality hay 
better than timothy and far superior to wild hay. Ordi¬ 
narily two or more cuttings can be made in a season. 
As high as seven tons of hay per acre have been produced 
in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or with grain, 
4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre broadcast, or 2 to 3 pounds 
with drill. Late summer and late fall seeding are also 
recommended. It makes a permanent grass when once 
established. Ask for Reed Canary Grass Bulletin.
