A Field of Salzer's Kentucky Blue Grass 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Also known as June Grass. This grass is one of the 
first to start up in the spring and is still green when the 
snow flies in the fall. Uninjured by extremes of cold, 
heat, wet or drought, its hardiness and ability to with¬ 
stand tramping of hoofs has made it particularly valu¬ 
able everywhere, consequently it is now very extensively 
grown. It is easy to start, easy to grow and to establish 
pastures of the greenest verdure that will give highly 
profitable returns. The roots are thick and stout so that 
the tough sod thus formed makes an almost everlasting 
sward that permits of very heavy pasturing, year in and 
year out. Its feeding value Is exceptionally high, and it 
makes one of the best, sweetest and most nutritious pas¬ 
tures or hay crops that can be grown. Sow 20 to 30 lbs. 
per acre. Bags free.

SALZER’S BROME GRASS 
Best for permanent pasture. The best of grasses for dry soils. Brome Grass 
is one of our hardiest perennial grasses; no amount of cold will kill it. It with¬ 
stands the severest drought, and water may stand on it for weeks without in¬ 
jury. Mr. John Hess, Holy Cross Mission, Holy Cross, Alaska, writes, “Your 
Brume Grass stands up nicely. It is a great pleasure to learn how very hardy 
it is.” 
It loots deeply, often 4 to 6 feet, growing on good soils where large yields of 
cured hay are harvested, and also good returns are obtained on poor, sandy land 
where timothy is frequently a failure. As a pasture grass it is of special value, 
staying green and succulent during summer and enduring close cropping. Sow 
25 lbs. per acre broadcast, covering % in. deep. Bags free.

RED TOP (Solid Seed) 
It has frequently been said of Red Top that as a grass it is more useful than 
any other. As a permanent pasturage it is especially valuable. As a mixture 
with clover, timothy, brome or blue grass it flourished everywhere. Red Top 
is a very hardy native grass, probably the hardiest perennial grass we have. 
It would answer well to sow Red Top separately on moist lands where old 
grass has run out or become mossy; on such places it would fill the soil with 
numerous roots. Does well on moist, undrained soils, liable to occasionally 
overflow. Red Top accommodates itself to a variety of soils, even to quite dry 
situations. Attains a height of 2 to 2% feet. It is of slender growth and rather 
fine foliage and throws out slender, spreading heads. 
Sow Salzer’s Solid Red Top at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. Bags free. 
PENCILARIA 
Pencilaria should be planted 
six inches apart in the row and 
the rows about 3% feet apart. 
Cultivate two or three times if 
possible, and by that time the 
sight will astonish the beholder. 
It will average 40 rich, juicy, 
leafy stalks to the plant, which 
will be covered with seed heads 
12 to 24 inches long. The seed 
makes good food for poultry, 
and ground for cattle cannot be 
beat. Sow when you would 
Corn. The usual way of grow¬ 
ing it, however, is to mow it 
when 3 to 6 feet high, and it 
will immediately start again, 
and can be moved 3 to 4 times 
during the season. It is greatly 
relished by all kinds of stock, 
either in its green or dry state. 
Every farmer should try it if 
they want an immense crop of 
fodder cheaply. Sow in drills 5 
to 6 lbs., or broadcast, 8 lbs. per 
acre.

NORTHERN GROWN TIMOTHY 
Timothy is the king of all grasses in our country; as a hay crop it has 
long been the standard and it is adapted to a wider range of conditions and 
is grown over a wider area than other grasses. Roughly speaking, it is 
grown principally in the upper half of the country; it does not thrive in 
the hot climate of the South nor in the ai’id regions of the West. No other 
variety of tame grass will stand the extremes of climate as well as Timothy, 
or compare with it in average yields or feeding value. It produces one of 
the best qualities of hay; it forms compact 
stools or broad leaves; it does not produce 
creeping stems or runners. It luxuriates on clay 
or moist soil and is unsurpassed on peat, but is 
not so well suited for light sandy soils. Height 
2 to 4 feet. May be sown in the early fall or 
spring. If sown alone sow about 15 pounds per acre. Don’t buy any tim¬ 
othy seed just because it’s cheap. It doesn’t pay, Mr. Farmer! Salzer 
Quality means good, pure, clean, fresh Northern grown seed, and in the end 
such seed is many times less expensive than the cheapest seeds you could buy.
