Lawn Grass 
Our Fancy Lawn Mixture is com¬ 
posed of the very best grades of seed. 
This seed makes a quick growth and 
covers the ground in a few weeks after 
sewing the seed, forming a rich green 
turf. Can be sown either Spring sow¬ 
ing or Fall. For best results Spring 
sowing is most favoable. One pound 
seed will sow 200 square feet of 
ground. Seed should be raked in 
slightly, and after seeding soil should 
be pressed down firmly. Seed should 
be covered one-fourth to one-half inch. 
See price list. 
RESULT OF OUR FANCY LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
Red Top 
This is a valuable grass for either hay or pas¬ 
ture. It ranks second to Timothy in production 
of hay and makes excellent pasture and good crops 
of fine hay. It is valuable for seeding alone or to 
seed along with Timothy, Clover and other grasses. 
Can be sown in Spring or Fall. It succeeds better 
and is adapted to a wider range of soils than any 
other grasses. It is hardy and will make a heavy 
sod, and it should be a large constituent part of all 
mixtures intended for permanent pasture. If 
sown alone use 10 to 12 pounds of hulled or solid 
seed. We handle the solid seed and do not recom¬ 
mend sowing the unhulled seed. See price list. 
Barley 
BEARDED BARLEY. Bar¬ 
ley should be grown more 
than it is. It will do well in 
most any section of any state. 
It is also one of the best 
grains for a nurse crop for 
Alfalfa when started in the 
spring. Barley culture is sim¬ 
ilar to that of Spring Wheat 
or Oats. To produce large 
crops of Barley the soil should 
be well prepared to receive 
the seed. It is heavier than 
Oats and will yield more 
bushels per acre. It is a splen¬ 
did feed. Barley should be 
sown as early as Oats, if pos¬ 
sible, but will stand late 
planting better than Oats. 
Sow about two bushels per 
acre. See price list. 
Swedish Select Seed Oats 
Considered by many to be the most valuable Oats 
raised in the Northwest today. An extremely pro¬ 
ductive variety with tall, stiff straw, bearing long 
heads filled with good weight grains. It possesses 
striking- features, the grain is short, plump, white 
and heavy, under favorable conditions averaging 
40 to 42 pounds per measured bushel. Owing to 
the great root development it stands very high and 
is noted for its drought resisting qualities. Those 
who prefer a white Oats for spring seeding will 
make no mistake in sowing Swedish Select. Our 
seed was grown in the Northwest. Our experience 
has proven to us that all kinds of seeds grown in 
the Northwest are hardier, more vigorous and 
more productive than Southern or Western Seed. 
This is particularly true of Seed Oats. Try our 
Northern Grown seed this year and grow a Bumper 
Crop. See price list.

Semesan Bel. One Pound of'
