FIELD SEEDS 
You will readily understand that grass and field seeds fluctuate a great deal in 
price, and we cannot issue a catalog good for a year on an article of this kind. Prices 
quoted here are the ruling prices of January, 1934. These prices should be the current 
prices for the next four months.

CLOVERS 
WHITE CLOVER. Used in lawns and in pastures 
because of its strong and sturdy growth. It should 
be sown at the rate of 10 lbs. to the acre, getting 
into the ground in April or in September. The 
Clover seed we offer for this year has been thor¬ 
oughly cleaned, is as free from foreign substances 
as it can possibly be made, and of the highest per¬ 
centage of germination. 
MEDIUM RED (Domestic Seed). This is the 
most important and most commonly used variety 
of all the Clovers. Can be sown in Spring or Fall. 
We recommend Spring sown Clover unless able 
to sow in August, as small Clover seeds are apt to 
Winterkill badly. 
ALSIKE. One of the most hardy of all Clovers. 
Will stand well on moist soil. Domestic seed. 
ALFALFA, COMMON (Domestic Seed). The 
plants grow 18 to 36 in. high. Furnishes excellent 
pasturage for hogs, but not recommended for 
pasturing other stock. In the form of hay, Alfalfa 
is considered the best stock feed known. Needs 
one season to become established. Sow in 
Northern latitudes from June to August. 
ALFALFA, GRIMM (Domestic Seed). This 
variety is superior to regular Alfalfa on account 
of its extreme hardiness, withstanding all sorts 
of climatic conditions in northern latitudes. 
Flowers variegated in color, with purple pre¬ 
dominating. 
GRASS SEED 
For Pasture and Mowing 
ENGLISH RYE GRASS (Lolium perenne). Pro¬ 
duces a strong growth in 4 or 5 weeks after sowing. 
It cures into a hay that is rather hard, but having 
a sweet flavor and much relished by cattle and 
horses. Sow 60 lbs. to the acre. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). A 
very widely distributed species and without a 
rival as a pasture grass. Being of perennial habit, 
it will, when established, last indefinitely. 
Rough Stalk Meadow Grass (Poa trivialis). Makes 
an excellent turf and is used quite extensively in 
lawn and fairway mixtures, especially under trees 
or in shaded places. No doubt the best known 
grass for shade in this section of the country 
RED TOP, FANCY CLEANED (Agrostis vulgaris). 
A highly recommended grass for permanent pas¬ 
ture and as meadow grass for hay. Red Top is 
especially valuable for sour and acid soils and 
meadow lands. Use 14 to 16 lbs. to acre. 
TIMOTHY, or HERB GRASS (Phleum pratense). 
The standard hay of commerce. The excellent 
quality of the hay and the ease of culture make it 
valuable. It is adapted to most soils, but succeeds 
best on moist loam and clay. Timothy sown 
alone requires about 20 lbs. per acre; when sown 
with Red Clover use 15 lbs. Timothy and 5 lbs. 
Red Clover. 
SOUTH GERMAN BENT (Agrostis stolonifera). 
Called Creeping Bent. Very fine leaved and of 
creeping habit. Forms close, dense turf. Used on 
fine lawns and golf greens. Lb. $1.25. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). One 
of the most desirable pasture grasses for stock 
and for shady places. 
RED FESCUE (Festuca rubra). It thrives on dry, 
sandy soils and remarkably well in shade, form¬ 
ing a good turf surface, especially valuable for 
lawn and golf course. It is the only fine-leaved 
Fescue, forming a dense, continuous turf.
