the Spring or Fall, and if no other grasses 
are used, at the rate of from 8 to 12 
pounds to the acre, according to quality

LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Also known as Giant White or Italian 
White. Is a very large form of clover, 
usually making a growth of 8 to 12 inches 
as compared to the usual 3- or 4-inch 
height. It is a perennial- The stems lie 
flat on the ground and commonly root at 
the joints. It is not a deep-rooted plant 
and consequently can be grown on rather 
shallow land where well supplied with hu¬ 
mus and moisture. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER 
This is one of the hardest varieties 
known. It is perennial and does not winter 
kill. It will do better on moist land than 
any other variety of clover, and is suitable 
for either hay or pasture. When sown 
with other grasses is forms a thick under¬ 
growth and greatly increases the yield. It 
is frequently sown both with Medium Red 
clover and with timothy, and the quality 
of hay thus produced is excellent. 1 lb. 35c; 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
Every year more farmers are learning 
the real value of some sweet clover as a 
dry land pasture and sure hay crop. Sweet 
clover is much hardier than all other mem¬ 
bers of the clover and alfalfa family. It 
is a biennial plant and makes a much bet¬ 
ter hay crop the second year than the first. 
1 lb. 20c; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER 
The yellow clover does not grow as tall 
as the white and can be cut near the 
ground like alfalfa. It makes an excellent 
hay as the stocks are not too coarse and 
very fine in texture. It is especially adapt¬ 
ed for the higher dry land. Sow 12 to 15 
pounds to the acre. 1 lb. 20c; 100 lbs. 
$15.00.

40c; 100 lbs. $35.00. Write for quantity 
prices. 
IDAHO GROWN ALFALFA 
Th extension of alfalfa growing into 
the regions of limited rainfall has created 
a demand for alfalfa seed especially adapt¬ 
able to those conditions. Seed which has 
been produced from alfalfa grown on dry 
land and without irrigation is, of course, 
much preferable for dry land culture to 
seed produced under irrigation or normal 
rainfall. Write for quantity prices. 1 lb. 
30c; 100 lbs. $28.00. 
FLAX 
The greatest value for a reasonable 
price; uniformly superior quality, care¬

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
This makes the best, sweetest and most 
nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. 
It is very hardy and is uninjured by cold 
or dry weather, hot sun or tramping hoofs. 
The roots are so thick and stout that they 
form a tough sod. Blue Grass requires 
two years to get well started and for that 
reason is often sown in mixture with other 
grasses. From 20 to 25 pounds to the 
acre. 1 lb. No. 21 lb. seed 40c. Write for

RED TOP (Solid Seed) 
A valuable grass for moist, rich soils, 
where it thrives very luxuriantly. It is a 
good variety to sow with timothy and 
clover for meadow and pasture and is more 
permanent than either of the other two. 
It should be fed close. If it is allowed to 
grow up to seed, cattle dislike it. Ten 
lbs. to the acre. 1 lb. 30c; 100 lbs. $25.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
A valuable grass for pasture or hay 
land. It furnishes the first green grass in 
the Spring and until in the Fall. When 
closely cropped it grows up very quickly 
and is ready for grazing again in 10 or 12 
days. It will stand drought and is hardy. 
It grows in tufts, and is therefore best 
sown with Red Clover, rye grass, etc- It 
is well suited for shady places. Sow 22 
pounds to the acre. 1 lb. 25c. Write for 
quantity prices. 
SOUDAN GRASS 
An annual plant of the sorghum family 
that has been successfully used for hay and 
silage. It is drought resisting and pro¬ 
duces a good yield of fine stemmed feed. 
Write for quantity prices. 
MEADOW FESCUE, ENGLISH GRASS 
Especially suited for permanent pasture 
and is also fine for hay. Grows 2 to 3 feet 
high but not in tufts like Orchard Grass. 
The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive 
on it whether it is dry or green. Succeeds 
even in poor soil, and as the roots pene¬ 
trate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes 
extremely dry weather to affect it. As a 
fertilizer it has valuable properties. It 
will endure severe freezing and its use is 
becoming more widespread each year. 24 
lbs. are sown to the acre. 1 lb. 35c; 100 
lbs. $30-00.
