WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
Every year more farmers are learning 
the real value of some sweet clover as a 
dry land pasture and sure hay crop. Sweet 
clover is much hardier than all other mem¬ 
bers of the clover and alfalfa family. It 
is a biennial plant and makes a much bet¬ 
ter hay crop the second year than the first. 
1 tb 20c; 100 lb $18.50. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER 
The yellow clover does not grow as tall 
as the white and can be cut near the 
ground like alfalfa. It makes an excellent 
hay as the stocks are not too coarse and 
very fine in texture. It is especially adapt¬ 
ed for the higher dry land. Sow 12 to 15 
pounds to the acre. 1 lb 20c; 100 lb $19.00. 
CERTIFIED GRIMM ALFALFA Blue Tag 
Highly recommended by the government 
and state experiment stations as being one 
of the hardiest known strains of alfalfa. 
Usually there is not enough seed to meet 
the demand and the price is high. 1 lb 
45c; 100 lb $43.00. Write for quantity 
prices. 
IDAHO GROWN ALFALFA 
The extension of alfalfa growing into 
the regions of limited rainfall has created 
a demand for alfalfa seed especially adapt¬ 
able to those conditions. Seed which has 
been produced from alfalfa grown on dry 
land and without irrigation is, of course, 
much preferable for dry land culture to 
seed produced under irrigated or normal 
rainfall. Write for quantity prices. 1 lb 
35c; 100 lb $30.00. 
FLAX 
The greatest value for a reasonable 
price; uniformly superior quality, care¬ 
fully selected for high purity and strong 
germination. 1 lb 20c. Write for quantity 
prices. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
This makes the best, sweetest and most 
nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. 
It is very hardy and is uninjured by cold 
or dry weather, hot sun or tramping hoofs. 
The roots are so thick and stout that they 
form a tough sod. Blue Grass requires 
two years to get well started and for that 
reason is often sown in mixture with other 
grasses. From 20 to 25 pounds to the 
acre. 1 lb No. 21 lb seed 35c. Write for 
quantity prices. 
RED TOP (Solid Seed) 
A valuable grass for moist, rich soils, 
where it thrives very luxuriantly. It is a 
good variety to sow with timothy and 
clover for meadow and pasture and is more 
permanent than either of the other two. 
It should be fed close. If it is allowed to 
grow up to seed, cattle dislike it. Ten 
lb to the acre. 1 lb 30c; 100 lb $25.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
A valuable grass for pasture or hay 
land. It furnishes the first green grass in 
the Spring and until in the Fall. When 
closely cropped it grows up very quickly 
and is ready for grazing again in 10 or 12 
days. It will stand drought and is hardy. 
It grows in tufts, and is therefore best 
sown with Red Clover, rye grass, etc. It 
is well suited for shady places. Sow 22 
pounds to the acre. 1 lb 30c; 100 lb $26.00. 
MEADOW FESCUE, ENGLISH GRASS 
Especially suited for permanent pasture 
and is also fine for hay. Grows 2 to 3 feet 
high but not in tufts like Orchard Grass. 
The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive 
on it whether it is dry or green. Succeeds 
even in poor soil, and as the roots pene¬ 
trate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes 
extremely dry weather to affect it. As a 
fertilizer it has valuable properties. It 
will endure severe freezing and its use is 
becoming more widespread each year. 24 
pounds sown to the acre. 1 lb 25c; 100 
lb $20.00. 
SUDAN GRASS 
An annual plant of the sorghum family 
that has been successfully used for hay and 
silage. It is drought resisting and pro¬ 
duces a good yield of fine stemmed feed. 
Write for quantity prices. 100 lb $8.00. 
BROMUS INERMIS 
Drought defying, frost resisting. Yields 
enormous crops of splendid hay and af¬ 
fords early and abundant pasturage. It 
starts from one to three weeks earlier in 
the Spring than native prairie grass and 
it keeps green in the Autumn longer than 
any of the useful grasses grown in the 
west. No amount of cold seems to be 
able to kill it. It bears up well under hot 
Summer suns. It will grow under condi¬ 
tions that are very dry, and it can also 
stand being covered with water, not deep, 
of course, for one or two weeks in the 
early Spring. 
This grass may be sown at any time of 
the year when the ground is bare, but the 
best season is in the Spring, and with or 
without a nurse crop. Fifteen pounds of 
good Bromus Inermis an acre is sufficient. 
1 lb 30c; 100 lb $28.00. Write for quantity 
prices. 
MANITOBA OR HOG MILLET 
The seed is very rich and thus especially 
valuable as a hog feed. A very much 
prized peculiarity of this millet is that the 
seed ripens while the stem is yet greenj 
thus if cut promptly can be threshed for 
the seed, while the hay, after being thresh¬ 
ed, will make excellent fodder. Sow same 
as other millet. 1 lb 10c.; 100 lb $5.00.
