PLANT THAT PASTURE AND LAWN THIS YEAR 
RYE GRASS 
Makes more growth the first year planted 
than any other perennial grass, making a won¬ 
derful fall pasture, and if the season is favorable, 
a good hay crop. One of the best and most 
nutritious grasses for permanent meadows and 
pastures. It endures close cropping and recov¬ 
ers quickly after cutting. Does best on strong, 
rich soils. 
Grows over 2 feet tall, very leafy, and produces 
about 2 tons of good quality hay per acre. Sow 
20 to 25 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 
10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.50; 50 lbs., $4.55; 
100 lbs., $8.40. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
The hardiest and most drought resistant grass 
yet discovered. Introduced by the Department 
of Agriculture from the Steppes region of Siberia, 
it is a slightly heavier yielder of hay than bromus, 
producing 1 y 2 tons per acre. It becomes 
green in spring even earlier than bromus 
and stays green later in the fall. The 
crested wheat will spread widely and 
completely cover the ground. Plant from 
10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Where you are unable to water your 
lawn and can not use regular lawn grass. 
Crested Wheat Grass is a very good 
substitute, as it makes a firm, level sod 
and will stand close cutting. 1 lb., 75c; 
5 lbs., $5.50; 10 lbs., $6.75; 25 lbs., 
$16.25; 50 lbs., $52.00; 100 lbs., $65.00. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
Or English Blue Grass—Now, this 
grass succeeds well in almost all soils 
from high, dry land to moist, wet land 
standing the summer heat excellently. 
It is valuable as a pasture grass being 
one of the earliest in the spring and latest 
in the fall. It is highly recommended as 
a large yielding, nutritious pasture and 
hay grass for all sections of the country. 
Sow either in the spring or fall at the 
rate of twenty pounds per acre. 1 lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs., 
$5.95; 50 lbs., $7.25; 100 lbs., $15.90. 
WESTERN WHEAT OR SALT GRASS 
Is a native of western Dakota, and this year, 
the first since the great drought, has come back 
stronger than ever, taking the place of many of 
the other grasses which could not stand four 
years of drought and grasshoppers. It makes a 
good yield of extra quality, highly nutritious 
hay. Cattle fed Western Wheat Grass can be 
corn fed and marketed in a much shorter feeding 
period than when fed any of the softer grasses. 
Our stock is limited and you should order early. 
Plant at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., $1.15; 10 lbs., $2.00; 25 lbs., $4.45; 
50 lbs., $8.45; 100 lbs., $16.25. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
It is of exceptional value for permanent pas¬ 
tures and for hay crops. It is very early, coming 
in ahead of all other grasses, recovers quickly 
after being cut, and endures close cropping by 
cattle. Thrives well on all soils and attains its 
greatest perfection on strong, moist clay lands. 
Sow 15 lbs. per acre. 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 
10 lbs., $2.80; 25 lbs., $5.25; 50 lbs., $9.95; 
100 lbs., $19.40. 
RED TOP 
Choice (Agrostis Vulgaris) — -A permanent and 
very hardy, native perennial grass succeeding 
best on moist land, making a good pasture when 
fed close. It is also valuable for low, wet 
meadows producing large crops of good hay, 
often producing 2 to 3 tons per acre. It accom¬ 
modates itself to a variety soils, however, even 
to quite dry situations and stands a hot climate 
admirably. Grows two and one-half feet tall. 
One of the grasses that will stand a slightly sour 
soil. Plant 8 to 12 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 35c; 
5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., $2.60; 25 lbs., $6.00; 
50 lbs., $11.50; 100 lbs., $22.20. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
OR PHALARIS 
A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying, 
poorly drained soils — in fact, the only 
grass we know of for reclaiming waste, 
marshy lands. On many farms are to 
be found low wet situations where neith¬ 
er Red Top, Alsike, nor anything else 
will grow, and for these situations, Phal- 
aris or Reed Canary Grass is the thing 
to plant. The leaves are quite broad and 
the plant flourishes, often growing 5 to 7 
feet high. Underground stems rapidly 
form a tough sod and hold hay machinery 
without difficulty. Yields of 4 to 5 tons 
of hay per acre from two cuttings, have 
been reported. One acre will pasture 3 
or 4 cows and may be grazed closely ex¬ 
cept in the fall. If you have any wet or 
swampy land, Phalaris is the grass to 
plant. Plant 5 to 6 pounds per acre, drill 
H>-inch deep. As the seed shatters so 
easily and present acreage is limited, the 
seed is expensive but it is a real invest¬ 
ment. 1 lb., 50; 5 lbs., $2.10; 10 lbs., 
$3.75; 25 lbs., $8.65; 50 lbs., $16.60; 
100 lbs., $32.25.

GURNEY’S NORTHERN GROWN LAWN GRASS 
BENT GRASS 
IS BETTER 
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS 
More people are using Bent Grass for lawns 
each year. The seed costs more than other grass 
seed but the results are well worth while. Plant 
Bent Grass and your new lawn will be the show 
place of the neighborhood. 
• ASTORIA BENT 
Besides creeping on the surface of the soil 
Astoria Bent has jointed roots which creep under 
ground. It is the best bent grass for high, well- 
drained soils and is very resistant to drought. 
It is often found growing in almost pure sand. 
It makes a thick, close turf, with fine leaf blades. 
We recommend it highly. lb., 40c; 1 lb., 75c; 
5 lbs., $3.65 Postpaid. Not Prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$7.00; 25 lbs., $16.50. 
CITY LAWN MIXTURE 
This mixture consists of Kentucky Blue Grass 
and White Dutch Clover mixed in the correct 
proportions to make a rich velvety lawn the 
first year. Use this mixture for lawns where you 
have a supply of water available. Plant as early 
in the spring as possible using 1 lb. of seed to each 
200 sq. ft. of surface. Water liberally. By the first 
of July, your lawn will be green and beautiful and 
far enough advanced to withstand the hot weather 
of July and August. Prices: 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., 
$1.70 Postpaid; Not Prepaid, 10 lbs., $2.80; 
25 lbs., $6.55; 50 lbs., $12.60; 100 lbs., $24.50. 
SHADY LAWN MIXTURE 
Certain fine grasses are used that show a par¬ 
ticular aptitude for maintaining their growth in 
the shade of trees. These grasses are generally 
shy seeders and consequently the seed is high 
priced, but the results obtained will fully warrant 
the cost. 
1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.70 Postpaid. 
Not Prepaid 10 lbs., $2.80; 25 lbs., $6.55; 
50 lbs., $12.60; 100 lbs., $24.50. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
This famous grass does well almost every¬ 
where if the soil is fairly rich, moist, and moder¬ 
ately well-drained. 
Kentucky Blue Grass will last for many years 
as the plants are fed from underground roots 
and rarely need reseeding. It withstands hard 
wear remarkably well, forming a firm, tough sod. 
Kentucky Blue Grass should be sown as early as 
possible to give it a good start before the weeds 
spring up. 11 is the best of all grasses for lawns, golf 
courses and parks. When sown alone, use 35 to 40 
pounds per acre. Fancy cleaned seed. Per lb., 35c; 
5 lbs., $1.65 Postpaid; Not Prepaid 10 lbs., 
$2.80; 25 lbs., $6.60; 50 lbs., $12.50; 100 lbs., 
$23.90. 
Very similar to Kentucky Blue but grows a 
little coarser. It can be grown on poor soil 
where Kentucky will not thrive. It grows about 
two feet high, makes exceptionally fine hay 
greatly relished by stock of all kinds. As a pas¬ 
ture for dairy cows, it is especially valuable. 
It is also a very popular lawn grass where Ken¬ 
tucky Blue wili not thrive.

CAPITOL LAWN MIXTURE 
It is made up of the seed of several fine leaved 
grasses, selected and recommended by the ex¬ 
perts of the Agricultural Department at Wash¬ 
ington. We can conceive of no better authority 
on the subject than these painstaking investi¬ 
gators. It may be said here concerning all these 
special purpose grass mixtures that they are 
based mainly on the results of these field trials 
at the department and at various State Experi¬ 
mental Stations. The mixture offered here for 
lawn purposes has been tested_ thoroughly under 
the severe conditions of our climate. 1 lb., 30c; 
5 lbs., $1.50 Postpaid; Not Prepaid 10 lbs.,
