ALFALFA. The best of all clovers for hay. While quite new west of the 
Cascades it is coming into more favor all the time. Soil on which alfalfa is to be 
planted should be free of weeds. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. Price per lb., 40c; 
5 lbs. or over, 35c per lb. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. This variety is much hardier than the common alfalfa. 
It will stand more drought and more cold. Its root system is branched and there¬ 
fore it will stand much more wetness than the common variety. Quantity per 
acre, 12 to 15 lbs. 
Grimm Alfalfa. Blue Tag CERTIFIED. Price, 50c per lb., 5 lbs. or over, 
at 45c per lb. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. This is one of the best clovers for this locality alone or 
in mixtures with other grasses such as timothy. It will stand wetness that would 
kill almost any other crop and still do well. Grown in the Northwest. Quantity 
per acre, 8 to 10 lbs. Price per lb., 45c; 5 lbs. or over, 40c. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE. This grass has rather stiff wire-like leaves and has a 
tendency to creep. Owing to its ability to stand shade it is used extensively in 
shady lawn mixtures. It is also much used in hay and pasture mixtures. Sow 
25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Price per lb., 75c; 5 lbs. or over, 70c per lb. 
CREEPING BENT GRASS. One of the best of all grasses for lawns. Spreads 
by its root system, making an even, solid mat. It will grow in most any kind of 
soil, especially in a wet one. Price per lb., $1.50; 5 lbs. or over, $1.40 per lb. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. One of the old standard grasses for lawns or 
permanent pasture. Quantity per acre. 20 lbs. Price per lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 45c per lb.

stems are a little coarser. Northwest grown. Plant 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Price 
per lb., 40c; 5 lbs. or over, 35c per lb. 
MEADOW FESCUE. The leaves of this grass are broad and the leaf sheaths 
are red in color. It gives an abundance of fodder either as a hay or pasture grass. 
It does well on almost any soil. It attains a height of about three feet under normal 
conditions. Sow 25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Price per lb., 40c; 5 lbs. or over, 35c per lb. 
ORCHARD GRASS. One of the earliest grasses in the spring and also one of 
the best producers. However, it becomes woody if allowed to stand too long after 
blossoming. Sow 40 to 45 pounds per acre when alone. Price per lb., 35c; 5 lbs. or 
over, 30c per lb.

which is too wet for other grasses or subject to overflow. Makes good pasture 
when young. Never planted with other grasses. Price per lb., 95c; 5 lbs. or over, 
93c per lb. 
RED TOP. One of the best and most valuable of all grasses. It is fine leaved 
and is used in most lawn grass mixtures. It will produce nearly as heavily as 
timothy and is often sown with it. It will do well on soil too wet to cultivate and 
is easily established. Plant 10 to 12 lbs., per acre. Price per lb., 40c; 5 lbs. or 
over, 33c per lb.
