CRASS SEEDS 
Quality Distinguishes Our Grass Seeds 
Oregon Rye Grass. A rapid grower, very winter hardy, leaves 
and stems medium fine, stools heavily, has a bright green 
color. Excellent for pasture or for hay. Plant with Ladino 
Clover to prevent bloating. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Lb. 20c; 
10 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. 
Drome Grass. Will stand drought and produce heavy crops in 
dry sections and on poor soils where other grasses perish. It is 
one of the hardiest growers and succeeds on our dry hillsides. 
Sow 35 pounds per acre. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25, postpaid. 
Timothy, the Most Extensively Grown Hay Grass. Sow 12 to 
15 pounds per acre. For hay, timothy is the best known and 
most extensively grown of all grasses. A stand is easily estab¬ 
lished, it is inexpensive to sow, it starts quickly and yields its 
best crop the year after it is sown, but the following year’s 
crop may be equally as heavy if liberally top-dressed with 
manure. The yield on good land frequently runs from 1% to 
3 tons per acre. Meadow Fescue or Kentucky Blue Grass, Red 
Top or Hei'ds Grass and Ladino Clover all mature at the same 
time as Timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it for hay 
and pasture. A good mixture is 6 pounds Timothy, 5 pounds 
Red Top, 7 pounds Meadow Fescue and 4 pounds Ladino 
Clover. Sow this mixture at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. 
Per lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.25, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Orchard Grass. The greatest pasture and hay grass. A very 
vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and nutri¬ 
tious hay, as well as having special value as a pasture grass, 
furnishing good grazing from early spring till winter. It 
adapts itself to a variety of soils, provided they are well 
drained, but succeeds best on loamy uplands or moderately 
stiff soils, although it does quite well on soils that are in¬ 
clined to be sandy. A mixture of 15 pounds of Orchard Grass, 
12 pounds of Tall Meadow Oat Grass and 8 pounds of Red or 
Alsike Clover has proved very satisfactory, is recommended 
for hay and pasture. When sown alone, plant 30 to 35 pounds 
per acre. In a mixture as above, sow 20 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Sudan Grass. A wonderful quick-growing Summer Hay Grass. 
An annual with short fibrous roots that are killed by frost. 
Because of this characteristic, Sudan Grass will never become 
a pest as will Johnson Grass. Its greatest value is for hay, 
which is well liked by stock—the entire plant, leaves, stems 
and heads, is eaten. Sow 5 to 6 pounds to the acre in 2-foot 
rows; 20 to 25 pounds broadcast. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 
5 lbs. 85c. Write for quantity prices. 
SOY BEANS 
SOY BEANS—A PROFITABLE CROP FOR 
HAY OR FOR PASTURE

Virginia, on account of its abundant growth and large yield of 
beans, makes the best Soy Bean for hay. One of the earliest. 
Vines make a fine growth, filled with pods, stand about 3 feet 
high, are easy to cut and cure. Stems fine, leafage profuse.

Wilson Early Black. Very prolific variety and one of the best 
where quick, early variety is desired. Average height on good 
soil is about 3 feet. Matures in about 115 days. Prices same 
as Virginia and postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Tarheel Black. This is also a very fine variety for hay. Fine 
foliage, early maturity and heavy yielding. Matures in about 
120 days. Prices same as Virginia and postpaid. Write for 
quantity prices. 
ALFALFA SEED 
Ladak Alfalfa. This comparatively new variety gives promise 
of becoming popular and rightly so for it has developed that 
Ladak is ideally adapted to dry soils which cannot successfully 
grow the more common varieties. Ladak Alfalfa will produce 
one heavy crop on dry soils, after which, in case the moisture 
is not sufficient to continue its growth, it will survive through 
the season to come again after winter rains have revived it. 
Other varieties of alfalfa will almost completely die out but 
not so with Ladak. It may appear completely dead, but will 
come again when fall rains bring moisture. Ladak is likewise 
strongly resistant to freezing. In many tests Ladak has 
proved superior to all others for the cold and dry conditions 
found in the northern Gi’eat Plains areas and it has also given 
good results under irrigation in the Northwest. If you desire 
further information on Ladak alfalfa write us for descriptive 
bulletin. Lb. $1.00, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Grimm Alfalfa. The hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the 
severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a branching 
root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and 
prevents heaving by frequent freezing and thaws, and also 
adapts it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near 
the surface, or if your farm is in the mountain section, it will 
pay you to give Grimm the preference. Being short rooted, 
Grimm will thrive on soils where the water table is close to 
the surface. Grimm is very leafy and fine stemmed and is 
preferred by most hay buyers. Sow Grim 8 pounds per acre 
after frost danger is over. Fertilize with Soil Sulphur or 
Superphosphate for bumper crops the first season. We handle 
only State Sealed and Certified Grimm seed. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. 
$4.50, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Common or Chilean Alfalfa. This is the popular long-rooted 
variety so universally grown. Best adapted to deep soils. We 
handle only the hardiest types of Chilean, selecting our seed 
from growing districts which produce seed of true type. Our 
mountain grown seed will produce stands of longer duration 
and prove more profitable to plant. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, post¬ 
paid. Write for quantity prices.
