CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—Here’s a grass that no 
amount of drought can kill out. If you have real 
dry land on which you have been unsuccessful in 
getting a profitable stand of grass or hay, plant 
Crested Wheat Grass. A little preparation of the 
soil and the sowing of 15 pounds per acre of this 
dryland grass will solve the problem presented to 
you each year by that dry land. Crested Wheat 
Grass makes a palatable hay, produces well and will 
not kill out. In spite of the severe droughts in the 
middle west, Crested Wheat Grass has held its own, 
producing feed where all other grasses failed. The 
crop of' seed is extremely short this year and our 
supply quite limited so order early. This grass is the 
first to start in the spring and the first to spring 
to life when fall rains come. It stands the severest 
cold weather and best of all, the hottest and driest 
summer weather. Lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9.00, postpaid. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Evergreen Grass)—This 
grass seems to make more leafage and grazing, a 
larger yield of hay and to keep green longer, both dur¬ 
ing the winter and summer, than most grasses. It 
is especially adapted to heavy soils. It withstands 
heat and drought and the cold of winter; starts very 
early in the spring and continues late in the fall. For 
hay it can be cut twice in a season, frequently pro¬ 
ducing doubly as much hay as timothy. Ripens at 
the same time as Orchard Grass and Red or Alsike 
Clover. Thrives on uplands but gives excellent re¬ 
sults on nearly all soils and better than most grasses 
on light and sandy soils. When sown alone, sow 25 
to 30 pounds to the acre either in spring or fall. Lb. 
40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
RED TOP (Herds Grass)—Sow 12 to 15 
pounds per acre. This is one of the most 
valuable and satisfactory grasses in all 
localities. Thrives on low ground, where 
water stands late in the season. Red Top 
should be included in all mixtures in¬ 
tended for permanent pastures or hay. 
It makes excellent pasturage and is ideal 
for hay. When well established it spreads 
and will supplant other grasses. Fine for 
hillsides, will prevent erosion. Matures 
at the same time as Meadow Fescue, Or¬ 
chard Grass, Tall Oat Grass and Timothy. 
Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Sow 35 to 40 
pounds per acre. There is probably no 
other grass that equals Kentucky Blue 
Grass for permanent pasture, nor one 
that will yield a sweeter and more nu¬ 
tritious pasture. Except on very light 
soils it should be included in every pas¬ 
ture mixture. Very hardy, spreads freely, 
produces abundantly, withstands drought 
and cannot be tramped out. Lb. 45c; 10 
lbs. $4.00, postpaid. 
OREGON RYE GRASS—A rapid grower, very 
winter hardy, leaves and stems medium 
fine, stools heavily, has a bright green 
color. Excellent for pasture or for hay. 
Plant with Ladino Clover to prevent 
bloating. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Lb. 
20c; 10 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. 
BROME GRASS—Will stand drought and 
produce heavy crops in dry sections and 
on poor soils where other grasses perish. 
It is one of the hardiest growers and suc¬ 
ceeds on our dry hillsides. Sow 35 pounds 
per acre. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
MADRONA PASTURE MIXTURE—Why Should I Sow a Pasture Mixture? 
Simply because a mixture of grasses will yield a better crop than a single grass—the greater the 
number of grasses in a mixture the thicker the stand and a more prolonged growth is produced. 
Mixtures occupy the ground more completely than a single grass and help to keep out weeds. Some 
grasses grow in tufts and require other grasses to fill in. A mixture yields a constant succession of 
growth from spring till fall. Mixtures last for years. They insure against failure of any one grass 
and give more and better grazing for a longer season. Our Pasture Mixture will do everything a 
good meadow mixture can do. It is a combination of grasses and clovers. If you plant MADRONA 
PASTURE MIXTURE you’ll always be sure of pasture and hay. Sow 20 lbs. per acre for best 
results. 6 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. S3.50. Write for quantity prices.
