CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
(Broadcast 6-10 lbs. per acre) 
(Drill 2-3 lbs. in rows 3 feet apart) 
This is the hardiest and most drouth resistant 
grass yet discovered and it is in great demand all 
over the Northwest. Introduced by the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture and highly recommended 
by them, also state and county officials. It has un¬ 
limited ability to grow during the early and late 
cool seasons making considerable growth early in 
the Spring and late in the Fall when other crops 
are not making much headway. The demand for 
the seed will again exceed the supply this year. 
We are offering a selected standard strain of high 
purity and germination seed this year, quack free 
and also Registered Blue Tag Crested Wheat from 
Parker Bros, farm which is the best that money 
can buy. 
NEW FAIRWAY CRESTED WHEAT 
A selected strain of this popular grass which is 
a leafier and more low growing type. Has great 
possibilities for farm lawns, golf courses, etc., as 
well as its value for hay and pasture. The true 
Fairway strain is still very, very scarce. We are 
offering fancy seed grown on Parker Bros, famous 
Crested Wheat Farm. This seed shows a purity of 
97.4% with no weeds.

ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard Grass is a top grass with thick, bushy, 
little spreading tufts. It has quick and plentiful 
second growth and can be cut several times, the 
first cut before the bloom. When heavily seeded 
with other grasses gives good pasture and sends 
its roots deep into the soil. Grows quickly in the 
Spring and is adapted for alternate farming. 
TIMOTHY 
Timothy is a top grass; persistent. Especially 
adapted to mountainous regions and does best on 
humus loams and clays, also on well drained swamp 
lands; does not do well on soil poor in lime or sour 
soil. It is a nutritious and tender hay when young, 
liked by all stock. 
Cultural Conditions —Quite hardy, not sensitive 
to climate, roots penetrate deep, making it with¬ 
stand drought fairly well. It is especially useful 
for hay and pasture. Seed from 8 to 12 pounds 
per acre. We have an exceptionally fine lot of 
Timothy to offer this season with a purity test 
of 99.7%. 
SUDAN GRASS 
We recommend broadcasting Sudan, 20 to 25 
pounds of seed to the acre. 
It is an annual and requires replanting each 
year; has no root stalks (as Johnson Grass) and 
dies with the first frosts in the Fall; is closely 
related to the Sorghums (Milo Maize, Kaffir Korn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
THERE IS NO OTHER FORAGE CROP KNOWN 
THAT WILD RESIST DROUGHT LIKE SUDAN 
and it is therefore particularly adapted to semi- 
arid regions, yet it yields immense crops under 
irrigation and in rainy climates. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
Is one perennial grass that will thrive in marshy 
places, stand under water for weeks without in¬ 
jury, yield enormous tonnage of hay with a feed 
value equal to wheat bran. Until seed is more 
plentiful we suggest to seed alone after the land 
has been worked and weeds killed off, using 10 
to 12 pounds per acre, any time before June 20th. 
Make your low land grow profitable crops.
