MARK MEANS COMPANY, 1936 ANNUAL SLED CATALOG. LEWISTON. IDAHO 
FIELD SEEDS 
ALL FIELD SEED PRICES ARE F. O. B. LEWISTON UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED 
This year practically all field seed prices are much lower than they were last year, the seed-producing districts, 
with one or two exceptions, having had better growing and harvesting weather conditions. 
Quality considered you will find 1 our prices as low or lower than you can buy elsewhere. However, the initial cost 
of field seed is not the important factor to govern a purchase. What is more important to the farmer is that the 
seed he sows should be of high purity and germination, heavy, plump and matured. As one of our greatest agri¬ 
culturists said recently, “Quality seeds of high purity and germination will provide excellent stands of ,hay and 
pasture if seeded correctly, but be sure you buy GOOD SEED.” Our Lewis-dark quality seed, while costing a 
little more is really much cheaper in the end than grades sold at lower prices. With our many years of experience 
and knowledge of the seed business, also our up-to-date cleaning machinery, we are in a position to furnish seeds 
that will satisfy every requirement of the efficient farmer, at prices as low as possible consistent with quality. 
If you are planning to seed a large acreage write us and we will gladly quote quantity prices. 
The surest way of building up your land and assuring yourself a good profit is to plant alfalfa, clovers and grasses, 
and raise livestock. Also produce your own vegetables and flowers by planting a home garden. 
This catalog is printed months in advance of the time of the season when the demand for field seeds is the great¬ 
est, and as Grasses, Alfalfas and Clovers move in a much larger volume than the garden varieties, it is impossible to 
tell at this time what the supply and demand will be. While we do not expect, for the first part of the season at 
least, any changes in prices quoted herein we wish to draw your attention to the item on page 1 under heading of 
“Important.” 
We therefore ask that you kindly send in your order just as early as possible.

Domestic Rye Grass 
This variety of Rye Grass is rapidly in¬ 
creasing in favor with dairymen in this 
district. Those who have used it state that 
it will carry more stock than any other 
grass, and will increase the milk flow. It is 
a rapid grower, winter hardy and makes a 
quick regrowth after mowing, and remains 
green much longer than other varieties. Can 
be grown successfully on dry, shallow, poor 
soils as well as on the better soils. At the 
price we can furnish you this seed, it will 
pay every dairyman to plant a few acres.

and resistant to both drougth and cold. An excel¬ 
lent hay grass, yielding 1 y 2 to 2 tons per acre.

Winter Blue Grass (Poa Bulbosa) 
This is a perennial producing small bulblets instead of 
seeds. Is dormant during the entire summer, but as soon 
as the first fall rains come, the plants revive and send \ip 
a heavy, dense growth, furnishing excellent pasture 
throughout the late fall, winter and spring months. Seed 
should be planted in the fall or early winter (never in the 
spring). Sow from 20 to 25 lbs. per acre on well drained 
soil. This grass seeds freely, spreading from the bulblets 
produced beneath the surface of the soil as well as from 
those produced in the flower. 
Lewis-Clark 1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50. 
Reed Canary Grass 
Reed Canary Grass has been in great demand the past 
two seasons, on account of its adaptability to different 
soil conditions. Though usually found in wet, marshy 
lake districts, it will also succeed on high, well drained 
land of rather low rainfall. It is a perennial and grows 
anywhere from 3 to 8 feet tall, and is palatable as hay 
and pasture. Heavy pasturing tends to thicken the stand, 
as stock will tramp the stems and nodes into the soil, 
starting new growth. The hay yield is heavy, but the 
grass is more desirable as pasture. On well prepared 
seed beds where there is moisture enough for germina¬ 
tion, sow G to 8 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. 25 to 50 lbs. 100 lbs.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
The earliest gras® of all for either pasture or hay. Is 
especially adapted to our western country, being a quick 
grower, often reaching a height of 3 to 4 feet in June. 
Has a deep rooting system, which enables it to withstand 
a long drougth, remaining green all seasons of the year. 
Cut during the blooming period for hay. Grows quickly 
after mowing, and will furnish a second and sometimes 
a third cutting. Sow 25 or 30 pounds per acre. 
Less than 50 lbs. 50 lbs 100 lbs.
