GRASSES 
REED CANARY GRASS 
SUDAN GRASS 
SEASIDE CREEPING 
BENT 
Agrostis stolonifera maritima 
8 to 12 pounds per acre for pasture—2 to 3 
pounds per 1000 square feet for lawns. 
Native to the lowlands of Coos County, Ore., 
and some other sections of the North Pacific. 
Adapted especially to rich, heavy-textured 
low lands. This variety is in great demand for 
making golf greens and fine lawns and as an 
ingredient in permanent pasture mixtures. We 
handle only certified seed. To insure your 
getting Certified Seed we can supply this in 
2-Lb. Cartons. State sealed and certified. 
SUDAN GRASS 
ASTORIA or COLONIAL 
BENT 
Agrostis tenuis—8 to 12 pounds per acre 
It thrives on a wider range of soils and pure, 
natural stands of it have been found far inland 
from the coast and at quite a high altitude. A 
good strain to use on uplands, though it, too. 
does best on moist, acid-reacting soils. We 
supply both certified and uncertified seed. 
Andropogon sorghum—10 to 20 pounds 
per acre 
An early maturing annual sorghum plant, not 
particular about soil, but requires warm 
weather. Thick seeding is advisable, otherwise 
the crop grows too rank and coarse. Important 
as a fodder plant in the arid sections of the 
West, where it seems to thrive on lands that 
are quite alkaline. It also endures excessive 
moisture and withstands extreme drought, 
yields from two to eight tons of hay per acre 
and is often cut four times in a season. 
CRESTED 
WHEAT GRASS 
The newest and very best grass 
for the arid districts. Its ten¬ 
dency to form sod and its 
marked ability to withstand 
close pasturage and drought 
make it an ideal pasture grass. 
Supply limited, order early. 
RHODE ISLAND BENT 
Agrostis capillaris —8 to 12 pounds 
per acre 
A valuable lawn and pasture grass that 
should have more generous recognition. 
It makes a fine, close-knit lawn of splen¬ 
did color and succeeds well on our medium 
type soils. Spreads entirely by bunch ex¬ 
pansion, has no surface or root creepers. 
It grows about 24 inches in height. 
DOMESTIC MIXED 
BENT 
Agrostis (various )—8 to 12 pounds 
per acre 
A western grown mixed bent that is in 
every way superior to the mixed bent 
formerly imported from Germany. Our 
seed is 95% pure. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
REEDS CANARYGRASS 
ENGLISH RYE GRASS 
Phalaris arundinacea — 10 to 12 pounds 
per acre 
This grass does best in a moist and cool 
climate. It is especially suited to swampy or 
overflowed lands. It makes a valuable pasture 
plant, being one of the earliest grasses in 
the spring and grows well into the fall. 
Under Pacific Coast conditions an acre of 
good Reed Canary Grass on land well suited 
to it and properly handled will furnish fresh 
feed for four cows seven months of the year. 
Both fall and spring seedings are successful. 
The grass is seldom sown in combination 
with other grasses, but may be sown with 
small grains. Our seed is 99% pure. 
Lilly’s Reed Canary Seed is subjected to a 
newly discovered treatment which greatly 
shortens the time required for germination. 
TALL MEADOW OAT 
GRASS 
Avena elatior—20 to 30 pounds 
per acre 
Of rapid, luxuriant growth and matures 
exactly with orchard grass and red clover. 
It has a slightly bitter taste, but is as 
closely grazed in the pasture as any of the 
other grasses. Stands pasturing well, re¬ 
mains green late in fall, roots deeply, 
thrives on both upland and bottoms, but 
does not like shade. 
MESQUITE or VELVET 
GRASS 
Holcus lanatus — 10 to IS pounds 
per acre 
Also called Fog Grass, is a good meadow 
grass in dry, sandy soil, but of little value 
where other grasses thrive. It is a perennial 
about two feet tall and is soft and velvety, 
the whole plant is covered by a growth of 
wool-like hairs. The hay is remarkable for 
its lightness. 
CRESTED DOGSTAIL 
Cynosurus cristatus —20 to 2S pounds 
per acre 
Adapted primarily to cool, moist regions, 
where it seems to thrive principally in the 
two extremes, hot sun and dense shade. 
Makes a fair lawn grass under those con¬ 
ditions. 
BROME GRASS 
Bromus inermis—1 S to 20 pounds 
per acre 
A hardy, smooth, erect; drought-resisting 
perennial, usually 2 to 3 feet tall, produc¬ 
ing strong creeping root-stalks. It furnishes 
more green feed in the dry regions than 
any other of the true grasses. Smooth 
Brome is much more desirable than the old 
hairy type. 
Tender-green, the new stringless green-pod bush bean is certainly true to its name. Don’t miss trying them; stringless kind.
