TESTED GRASS SEEDS. 
BROMUS INERMIS. 
[Bromna Inermis). Is the best all around pas- 
ure grass that has ever been Introduced. It le 
HUNGARIAN OR AWNLESS BKOME GRASS 
a native of Hungary, but it seems to be ad&ptec 
to the prairies of the West, the cold regions 01 
Hie North, and the hot plains of the South bette? 
than any other grass. 
It is a strong-growing perennial grass witto 
smooth, leafy stems, which grow from one to 
four feet high. It forms a tough sod, soob 
crowding out other common forage plants. It is 
very hardy. The underground stems, (root 
stalks) grow more rapidly in light, sandy loam, 
but they penetrate with apparent ease the 
stillest clay, and in all cases form a dense, tough 
sod. 
It is a thoroughly established success In the 
West. It is a “cosmopolitan” grass, adapting 
Itself to almost every condition of soil .or climate 
and to any us^e to which grass may be put, equal¬ 
ing in qualily and rivalling in yield almost every 
other grass, resisting extremes of temperature 
whether of heat or cold, profitable to sow any 
where, tout most valuable for its wonderful power 
to grow under dry conditions. Its supreme adap¬ 
tation for the semi-arid belt that lies west from 
the Rocky Mountains and extends northward 
from Oklahoma to the Alaskan boundaries, ren¬ 
ders it a veritable Godsend to the people of that 
region. 
Bromus Inermis may be sown at any time ©1 
year when ground is bare, but the preferred sea¬ 
son for sowing in the West is in the early spring, 
with or without a nurse crop, but is better sown 
alone. The seed is large and light and it has beea 
generally supposed that it could only be sown by 
hand, but the special “Michigan Wheelbarrow 
Seeder” handles this and other grass seeds per¬ 
fectly and rapidly, and we have arranged to make 
special prices on this seeder to those who pur¬ 
chase their seed from us. Sow 28 lbs. per acre 
Weight 14 lbs. per bushel.

places.

GRASS MIXTURES FOR MEADOWS 
AND PASTURES 
It Is a well-ascertained fact that a thicker and more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of 
many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. For every different kind and condition of soil there are 
grasses that are especially suitable. Some sorts do best on high ground and in dry weather; others prefer 
plenty of moisture. Some mature so early and others so late that from the beginning of spring anti) 
winter sets in there is no time when one species or another is not at its best. Grass seed may be sown 
either early in spring or in fall from first of September to middle of October in this latitude.
