MEADOW FESCUE (English Blue Grass)—A splendid 
spring and summer grass, stands close grazing and 
makes more and thicker foliage than even orchard 
grass and tall meadow oat grass. The roots pene¬ 
trate deeply, adapting it to poor soils and making it 
quite drought-resistant. It also makes a good fall 
and winter pasturage, as it remains green throughout 
the winter. Although used principally in pastures, 
it makes a good hay, and cattle thrive on it green 
or dry. A good mixture when sown for hay is 7 
pounds Meadow Fescue, 6 pounds Red Top, 8 pounds 
Timothy and 5 pounds of Red or Alsike Clover. For 
a permanent pasture we recommend 10 pounds of 
Meadow Fescue, 8 pounds Orchard Grass, 8 pounds 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass, 6 pounds Kentucky Blue and 
4 pounds Ladino Clover. Sow either of the above 
mixtures at the rate of 20 pounds per acre or if 
Meadow Fescue is sown alone, 25 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Evergreen Grass)—This 
grass seems to make more leafage and grazing, a 
larger yield of hay and to keep green longer, both dur¬ 
ing the winter and summer, than most grasses. It 
is especially adapted to heavy soils. It withstands 
heat and drought and the cold of winter; starts very 
early in the spring and continues late in the fall. For 
hay it can be cut twice in a season, frequently pro¬ 
ducing doubly as much hay as timothy. Ripens at 
the same time as Orchard Grass and Red or Alsike 
Clover. Thrives on uplands but gives excellent re¬ 
sults on nearly all soils and better than most grasses 
on light and sandy soils. When sown alone, sow 25 
to 30 pounds to the acre either in spring or fall. Lb. 
40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
RED TOP (Herds Grass)—Sow 12 to 15 
pounds per acre. This is one of the most 
valuable and satisfactory grasses in all 
localities. Thrives on low ground, where 
water stands late in the season. Red Top 
should be included in all mixtures in¬ 
tended for permanent pastures or hay. 
It makes excellent pasturage and is ideal 
for hay. When well established it spreads 
and will supplant other grasses. Fine for 
hillsides, will prevent erosion. Matures 
at the same time as Meadow Fescue, Or- 
chard Grass, Tall Oat Grass and Timothy. 
Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Sow 35 to 40 
pounds per acre. There is probably no 
other grass that equals Kentucky Blue 
Grass for permanent pasture, nor one 
that will yield a sweeter and more nu¬ 
tritious pasture. Except on very light 
soils it should be included in every pas¬ 
ture mixture. Very hardy, spreads freely, 
produces abundantly, withstands drought 
and cannot be tramped out. Lb. 40c; 10 
lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
OREGON RYE GRASS—A rapid grower, very 
winter hardy, leaves and stems medium 
fine, stools heavily, has a bright green 
color. Excellent for pasture or for hay. 
Plant with Ladino Clover to prevent 
bloating. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Lb. 
25c; 10 lbs. $2.00, postpaid. 
BROME GRASS—Will stand drought and 
produce heavy crops in dry sections and 
on poor soils where other grasses perish. 
It is one of the hardiest growers and suc¬ 
ceeds on our dry hillsides. Sow 35 pounds 
per acre. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
MADRONA PASTURE MIXTURE— Why Should I Sow a Pasture Mixture? 
Simply because a mixture of grasses will yield a better crop than a single grass—the greater the 
number of grasses in a mixture the thicker the stand and a more prolonged growth is produced. 
Mixtures occupy the ground more completely than a single grass and help to keep out weeds. Some 
grasses grow in tufts and require other grasses to fill in. A mixture yields a constant succession of 
growth from spring till fall. Mixtures last for years. They insure against failure of any one grass 
and give more and better grazing for a longer season. Our Pasture Mixture will do everything a 
good meadow mixture can do. It is a combination of grasses and clovers. If you plant MADRONA 
PASTURE MIXTURE you'll always be sure of pasture and hay. Sow 20 lbs. per acre for best 
results. 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.50. Write for quantity prices.
