KENTUCKY 
BLUE GRASS 
This is the best known grass of North America. 
For pastures and for lawns it is unsurpassed. Lawns 
should have a little blue grass sown on them each 
year to keep them fresh, healthy and green. Pas¬ 
tures, too, need an abundance of good blue grass 
seed put on them from time to time in order to keep 
up their health, vigor, and carrying capacity. 
Fortunately, I made arrangements with the larg¬ 
est handlers of blue grass in the country to take 
over a good share of their extra heavy, new crop, re- 
eleaned seed of highest germination. That is why I 
can make you such extremely low, money-saving 
prices on my Mayworth Quality Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass. Priced extremely low 
at less than one-half last year’s price, 
per 100 lbs. 
English Blue Grass 
Also Called Meadow Fescue 
Throughout the northern part of the United 
States this is a fine crop. It will grow 3 to 4 feet 
in height, good for both hay and pasture. On wet 
land it’s especially valuable. Grows fast; keeps 
down coarse grasses; will stand more tramping 
than Kentucky Blue Grass or Timothy. It can 
be pastured closely. Anywhere Timothy does 
not do well it should be sown. Use m a pm 
15 to 20 pounds per acre, per 100 lbs.

Rye Grass 
Probably the most valuable quick-growing 
one-year grass. It makes a full crop the 
same year it is sown. Will grow up to 3 feet 
in height and under favorable conditions 
will produce from 2 to 3 tons per acre. It 
should be in all pasture mixtures and good 
lawn mixtures to provide quick green 
growth. I advise using plenty of this seed 
wherever you want quick re- 
suits. Sow 20 pounds per acre 
alone, per 100 lbs., only. w —— 
RED TOP 
Easiest Grass to Grow 
Red Top grows anywhere but thrives 
on medium to heavy soils. Poor soils grow Red Top 
even after other grasses fail. On rich land it maltfes 
a luxuriant growth. It will grow under dry condi¬ 
tions and is the best grass for wet land or poorly 
drained soil. Red Top is a great preventer of erosion 
as it makes a very thick sod. 
Every farm needs Red Top growing on it some 
place. Red Top is also an important part of finer 
lawn mixtures. 
It only takes 6 to 8 pounds per acre. My seed is 
solid fancy seed that has "Been hulled and gives you 
the most for your money. It is strictly new 
crop and is sold subject to your test and 
approval. Per 100 lbs..ONLY ^ ammm ’ 
Orchard Grass 
Orchard Grass is an important hay and pasture 
grass. Makes a thick sod, grows well with Red 
Clover and other legumes. It is the best grass to 
grow in shady places. It is nutritious, palatable, 
and a high producer. It prevents erosion, too. Not 
a lawn grass. We have the finest, highest^ quality 
of new crop, bright, fancy seed and 
we’re offering it at only, 
per 100 lbs. 
White Dutch Clover 
This is the well-known White Dutch Clover 
for pastures and lawns, also known as White 
Clover. It is the hardiest of all clovers and 
accommodates itself to all manner of soils. 
Endures the extreme heat and dryness, of 
summer better than blue grass. Will not 
tramp out. Prevents the soil from washing 
away. It adds much to the value of any 
pasture. Being a perennial, one seeding 
lasts for many years. Sow 3 to 5 pounds 
per acre.

Prices are extremely low now on the famous Reed Canary Grass. 
In the northern part of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and on 
low ground every place else, the famous Reed Canary Grass is the 
grass for you to sow. The price has been high. Now the seeding cost 
per acre is extremely low. You can make a seeding as low as $1.50 
per acre and get started growing this wonderful hay crop. 
Experience has proven that it pays to prepare a good seed bed for 
Reed Canary. Sow early in the spring and cover later. Extremely 
hardy and little danger of loss by freezing after growth has started. 
It is well adapted for growing on well drained mineral soils. It may 
be sown with grain crops on land where those crops can be grown 
to advantage. Use 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
Extra Fine for Pasture 
Reed Canary starts early in the spring and continues growing later 
in the fall than any other grasses. Try Reed Canary Grass this year. 
5 lbs., $1.75; 10 lbs., $3.25, postpaid. 25 lbs., $6.95; 100 lbs., $27.00.

CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
Especially Adapted to the Great Plain States 
Makes an early, rapid growth and has an extensive root system. 
Is a hardy, permanent plant comparing favorably with Brome Grass 
in its yields. Wheat Grass has a tendency to become dormant dur¬ 
ing hot, dry periods, but suffers no permanent injury, growth being 
resumed upon the arrival of cool days of autumn, and continues far 
into the late fall season. It is one of our most promising dry-land 
grasses for Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Montana. 
Sow on a firm seed bed early, without a nurse crop, in close drills 
covering one-half inch deep, at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
$45.00 per hundred pounds. A 10-lb. bag, $4.95, postpaid.
