GRASSES 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS —A rapid growing grass of wide 
adaptability. If seeded early in spring with oats should be ready 
to pasture when oats are pastured off. Grows 1% to 2 feet tall. 
Makes good hay. Should not be confused with wild rye because 
of similarity of name. 
We offer rye grass for use in place of high priced timothy. It will 
do especially well where grass is needed early in summer. 
ORCHARD GRASS —A good grass for pasture and hay. Will 
grow well on thin soil or in shaded places. Recommended in mix¬ 
tures to stop erosion. 
RED TOP —A sure grower under almost all soil and climatic con¬ 
ditions. Forms a good sod. Used in practically all pasture and 
lawn mixtures. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS —The basic grass for all pastures and 
lawns. Rather slow to start and therefore should be used with 
other grasses and legumes until it becomes established.

TIMOTHY 
Funk Farms Brand Timothy, the best we have ever offered our cus¬ 
tomers. The high purity, good germinating kind of seed we use on 
the Funk Farms. 
Timothy seed is higher now than ever in the past. For a low cost 
grass of merit we suggest Perennial Rye Grass. 
Korean Lespedeza 
USE DODDER FREE SEED 
We believe Korean is definitely past the trial stage. Hundreds of good 
reports have come back to us from the thousands of pounds we have 
sold. 
Our acreage on the Funk Farms last year was excellent. Cattle pas¬ 
tured on lespedeza after oats were off made fine gain and went into 
the feed lot in excellent condition. 
Seed 10-20 pounds per acre in February or March with small grain 
or alone. Do not cover too deeply. Also good with other legumes 
and grasses in mixtures. 
Lespedeza is effective in stopping erosion and in addition provides 
nutritious pasture or hay for all classes of livestock. In fact, it makes 
the best late summer and fall pasture of any crop with which we are 
acquainted. 
PASTURE MIXTURES 
Special Circular on Request 
W T hen considering your pasture problems, ask yourself two ques¬ 
tions. First, How long is the pasture to be used? One season, two 
seasons or permanently? Second, Is soil to be seeded sweet or does 
it need limestone? 
A single season pasture should be seeded to quick growing crops 
such as oats, rye grass, rape, lespedeza, etc. Care should be taken 
to choose crops that will develop through the season so that con¬ 
tinuous pasture is available. For pasture more than one season 
add alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover, red top, Kentucky blue 
grass, etc. 
If soil needs limestone rule out alfalfa, sweet clover and hubam. 
Seeding these crops on acid soil is money thrown away. 
The back side of our price list shows several pasture mixture sug¬ 
gestions. These are priced on the order blank side. The formulas 
listed are already mixed and ready to ship, however, if you have 
other ideas or want suggestions for special purpose we shall be 
glad to help you. At least the formulas and prices will give you 
an idea of costs. 
Finally, all of Funks Pasture Mixtures are made by mixing choice 
quality seed of high purity and germination. They are solid seed 
free from chaffy filler. We give you 100 pounds of real seed in 
every 100 pounds of our mixtures.
