PASTURE GRASSES 
Orchard Grass 
A valuable grass for pasture or hay, fine for 
mixing with alfalfa, making a high quality mixed 
hay. On account of its earliness it is very valuable 
as permanent pasture. When closely cropped it 
grows up again very quickly. It withstands drouth 
very well and is very hardy. This is a particularly 
valuable grass for the west and we recommend 
it in every pasture mixture. Sow not less than 
20 pounds to the acre. 
5 lbs., $1.60; 10 lbs., $2.90 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
One of the best pasture grasses. Is adapted 
to a wide range of soils and conditions. One of 
the earliest to start in the spring, and grows 
well late in the fall. Kentucky Blue Grass should 
be in every permanent mixture. Used extensively 
as a lawn grass due to its close growing habits 
and fine color. 
1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00 F. O. B. 
Twin Falls. For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Meadow Fescue 
Sometimes called English Blue Grass, is one of 
our best and most valuable pasture and hay 
grasses. It grows 2 
feet to 30 inches 
tall, is very leafy, 
grows close and 
stands pasturing 
well. We recom¬ 
mend this grass in 
all pasture formu¬ 
las. 
5 lbs. $1.65; 10 lbs. 
$3.00. F. O. B. Twin 
Falls. For larger 
quantities write for 
prices. 
English or 
Perennial 
Rye Grass 
This is one of 
the very finest pas¬ 
ture grasses. Used 
very extensively in 
the British Isles. The 
name Rye would in¬ 
dicate a tall, coarse 
grass, but the con¬ 
trary is true. Per¬ 
ennial Rye is a 
low, close growing 
grass of very fine 
quality. The name 
comes from a re¬ 
semblance of the 
seed head to that of 
Rye. We recommend Perennial Rye Grass in all 
formulas for irrigated lands. This is not a hay 
grass, but a heavy producing pasture grass. 
5 lbs., $1.35; 10 lbs., $2.40 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Oregon Rye Grass 
This is a mixture of Perennial Rye Grass, de¬ 
scribed above, and Italian Rye Grass, which is of 
a very similar nature. A good grass to sow, either 
straight, for permanent pasture, or in combina¬ 
tion with other grasses. 
5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.50 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
One of the very best grasses for our west¬ 
ern conditions. Tall Oat is both a hay and pasture 
grass and of wonderful quality for both. It is a 
wonderful drouth resister, fully equal to Bromus 
Inermus in that respect, and of much better qual¬ 
ity. While Tall Oat is a real drouth resister, it is 
equally good under irrigation. One of the first 
grasses to start in the spring and will continue 
to flourish clear through the season until late 
fall. 
5 lbs., $1.80; 10 lbs., $3.30 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Timothy 
Needs no introduction, as it has been grown in 
the west and all other sections as a hay and pas¬ 
ture grass. Not a drouth resister, but good on low, 
moist soils. Good to sow with clover or alfalfa. 
5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.20 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Bromus Inermus 
Brome Grass 
A very hardy drouth resisting grass. Yields heavy 
crops and makes abundance of pasture. We partic¬ 
ularly recommend Brome Grass to be sown on high 
dry lands. It will withstand drouth better than 
any grass we know of. We do not recommend 
Brome Grass to be sown on irrigated lands. Sow 
15 to 20 pounds per acre broadcast. Can be sown 
at any time of year, but perhaps the best time 
is in early spring. 
5 lbs., $1.60; 10 lbs., $3.00 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices. 
Red Top 
A valuable grass for moist, rich soils where it 
thrives to best advantage. It should be fed close; 
if allowed to grow up to seed cattle dislike it. On 
good soil grows about two feet tall. A good grass 
to sow in connection with other grasses. If land is 
low and moist, try Red Top. Sow about 10 pounds 
per acre of hulled seed. We strongly recommend a 
mixture of Red Top and Alsike Clover for water¬ 
logged lands or low places. 
5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.70 F. O. B. Twin Falls. 
For larger quantities, write for prices.
