SULPHUR FOR ORCHARDISTS AND STOCKMEN 
39 
CREEPING BENT GRASS 
(Certified Blue Tag Astorian) 
Especially recommended for lawns at country 
homes where depending on irrigation. It flourishes 
with but little moisture. Also good on terraces and 
sloping ground. Price, lb. $1.00. 
PERENNIAL ENGLISH RYE GRASS 
(Lolium Perenne) 
While this has long been esteemed in Europe and 
Australia, it has but recently been recognized by our 
western ranchers. It is worthy of all the praise giv¬ 
en. As a pasture grass, it grows quickly and with¬ 
stands drouth reasonably well. For pasture sow in the 
spring, 25 to 30 lbs. to the acre; for lawns, 60 to 
70 lbs. to the acre. Price per lb. 20c. 
MEADOW FESCUE OR ENGLISH BLUE 
GRASS (Festuca Pratensis) 
Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Grows 
2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts like orchard grass. 
Earliest and most nutritious of grass. Makes good 
hay and cattle thrive on it, whether in green or 
dry state. Succeeds even on poor soil, and as the 
roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes 
extremely dry weather to affect it. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. 
per acre. Price per lb. 25c; 25 lb. lots $5.00. 
TALL MEADOW OAT OR EVERGREEN 
GRASS (Avena Elatior) 
The roots of this grass descend deeply into the 
subsoil, enabling it to withstand a protracted drouth, 
and is green all seasons of the year. Its early growth 
in the spring makes it equal to rye for pasture. It 
grows quickly after mowing, giving a denser and 
more succulent aftermath than any of the present 
popular tame grasses. Sow broadcast 25 to 30 lbs. to 
an acre. Price per lb. 40c; 25 lb lots $8.75. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
(Dactylis Glomerata) 
No farmer should be without a small field of 
Orchard Grass, as in many respects it is superior to 
all other grasses. It stands the drouth, grows well in 
the shade, does well in wet or poor ground, and is 
splendid to prevent worn-out fields from washing. 
This grass furnishes excellent pasture three weeks 
before any other and after close grazing ten days’ 
rest is sufficient for another growth. Cows fed on 
this will produce more and richer milk than on Blue 
Grass. It makes a very heavy sod and when well set 
remains for many years. It is especially adapted for 
winter grazing, as it remains green all season. It 
is well suited to sow mixed with alfalfa on average 
of 12 lbs. orchard to 8 lbs. alfalfa seed. Sow 20 to 
25 lbs. per acre. Price per lb. 30c; 25 lbs. for $6.00. 
TIMOTHY 
(Phleum Pratense) 
As a crop for hay, timothy is probably unsurpas¬ 
sed by any other grass. It is generally relished by 
all kinds of stock, especially horses, yield more nu¬ 
tritive matter than any other grasses or forage 
plants. Being an early grass, it is well adapted to 
spring and summer grazing, and if the fall season 
is favorable, it will grow sufficiently to furnish good 
fall grazing, too. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre. 
Price per lb. 25c. WRITE FOR QUANTITY PRICES. 
RED TOP 
(Agrostis Vulgaris) 
A valuable grass for most soils. It is good, per¬ 
manent grass, standing our climate as well as any 
other, and consequently well adapted to our pastures, 
in which it should be fed close, for if allowed to 
grow up to seed, the cattle refuse it. On moist, rich 
soil it will grow about two feet, and on poor gravelly 
soil about half that high. It has been grown success¬ 
fully even on “alkali” bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 
to 20 lbs. of clean seed to the acre. Price per lb. 
25c; 25 lbs. for $5.00. 
BROMUS INERMUS OR HUNGARIAN 
BROME GRASS 
A wonderful drouth resister. A grass for the 
stock raiser. All kinds of stock like it. Will drive out 
Russian thistle, or black mustard. 
This pre-eminent drouth resisting grass stands at 
the head of all, and is destined to lead the most sat¬ 
isfactory and valuable forage grass in all localities 
where arid soils demand a plant with ability to with¬ 
stand drouth. Stands intense cold equally as well. 
May be sown in autumn with winter wheat, or in 
early spring. In southern states sow in February or 
March, preparing lands as for other grasses. Blooms 
in North in June, and earlier in southern states. For 
hog pasture a mixture of Bromus Inermus and Alfal¬ 
fa, where the latter succeeds well, is recommended for 
large pastures for cattle a mixture of the following per 
acre: Bromus Inermus, 10 lbs. ; Orchard Grass, 6 lbs. ; 
Meadow Fescue, 8 lbs. : Red Clover, 1 to 2 lbs. 
Its nature is to stool out, and thus it does not 
show its best until the second season. It seldom pro¬ 
duces seed the first year. Aside from alfalfa, no grass 
has fulfilled the promises to our western farmers 
better than the Bromus Inermus. It meets drouth 
as well in wet and cold, and for Idaho we know of 
no grass to equal it. Many of our large ranchers are 
planting it extensively. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
Price per lb. 25c; 10 lbs. for $2.00. Write for

GRASS SEED MIXTURES FOR 
MEADOWS AND PASTURES 
It is a well ascertained fact that a thicker and 
more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of 
many sorts of grasses that are especially suitable. 
Some sorts do best on high ground and in dry weath¬ 
er ; other prefer plenty of moisture. Some mature so 
early and others so late that from the beginning of 
spring until winter sets in there is no time when one 
species or another is not at its best. 
In the matter of preparing the soil for pasture, 
it is necessary to put the ground in the best condition 
possible to get the best results. The soil should be 
perfectly even after sowing the seed. You will find 
that cross harrowing will be to your advantage, as it
