Grass Seeds—Con. 
Astoria Bent. A comparatively new and 
distinct kind of grass; seldom produces stolons 
but spreads from underground root stalks; 
produces splendid turf. Excellent for lawns 
and golf greens. 
Seaside Bent. A stoloniferous grass. Used 
principally for golf purposes. Very good 
color. A most popular strain of Bent. 
MILLETS 
Buckwheat—Japanese.. Yields heaviest on 
fertile well-drained, sandy loam, but will give 
fair results on soils too poor for most other 
crops, matures in about 70 days, ripens best 
in early Fall. Weight 48 lbs. per bu. Sow 
one bu. per acre. 
Oats—Swedish Select. Large, plump, white 
kernels, with thin hulls, grows well on light 
soils and stands considerable drought, earliest 
of the heavy yielding sorts. Weight 32 lbs. 
per bu. Sow 2 bu. per acre. 
These are quick-growing annual grasses, 
adapted to a wide range of soils and climates, 
but requiring a good supply of moisture at the 
start and warm weather throughout their 
short growing seasons. 
German Millet. Also called Golden Millet. 
Stems heavier, leaves broader and coarser 
than common Millet. Requires a slightly 
longer and warmer growing season and a 
mellower soil. Ready to cut in about 65 days. 
Weight 48 lbs. per bushel. Sow 25 to 40 lbs. 
per acre. 
Hungarian Millet. Sometimes incorrectly 
called “Hungarian Grass.” An early variety. 
The hay is of excellent quality and the yield, 
under good conditions, averages 2 to 2% tons 
per acre, ranking second in this respect to 
German Millet. Weight 48 lbs. per bushel. 
Sow 25 to 40 lbs. per acre. 
Japanese Millet. It is rather coarse and suc¬ 
culent, which makes it difficult to cure for hay 
and it is not recommended for that purpose. 
It makes the best silage and green forage of 
any of the Millets. For green feed, cut just 
before the heads appear. For ensilage, cut in 
late bloom or when the seed is beginning to 
form. Weight 32 lbs. to bushel. Sow 15 to 
20 lbs. per acre. 
GRAINS 
Barley. Oderbrucker. Six-rowed, heavy 
yielding, used mostly for cover crop. Weight 
48 lbs. to bu. Sow 2 bu. to acre. 
Rye—Rosen Winter. Produces a strong, 
vigorous straw. The grain is large and heavy 
and commands a premium over common rye, 
but the excess yield will more than pay the 
extra cost. Weight 56 lbs. per bu. Sow 2 bu. 
per acre. 
Make sure of nitrogen gathering 
nodules for your legume crops by 
inoculating with NOD-O-GEN 
Assures heavy early growth. 
Better plant growth above and 
below ground. Higher pro¬ 
tein content of crops. 
NOD-O-GEN improves 
quality, quantity and yield. 
Use NOD-O-GEN.
