any clover. It produces the biggest hay crop and 
is the best soil enricher and green fertilizer. It 
breaks up the soil, gathers nitrogen from the air 
and deposits it in the soil.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER, PASTURE! GRADE —A 
small creeping perennial variety valuable for pas¬ 
turage and for lawns. It accommodates itself to a 
variety of soils, but prefers moist ground. Sow in

For Hay and Pasture 
BERMUDA GRASS—The Bermuda is a native South¬ 
ern grass, but on account of its wonderful drought- 
resisting qualities its growth has been extended 
northward until it is now being grown success¬ 
fully in Northern Oklahoma and Kansas, and no 
doubt, as it becomes acclimated, its growth will 
be extended still further north. It has a won¬ 
derful root system, enabling it to succeed in hot, 
dry climates, where other grasses would perish. 
It is splendid for sowing on the banks of dams, 
gullies and thin land to prevent washing. Fine 
for the south. 
NATIVE RYE GRASS —A desirable grass for pasture. 
It forms a heavy close sod and grows up quickly 
after being eaten or cut off. It is also a good grass 
for hay if cut when in bloom. It affords good 
pasture after the hay is cut. Does best on rather 
moist and heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 pounds of seed 
per acre if sown alone. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS —A very valuable variety 
for permanent pasture. Succeeds well on almost 
any soil, but is particularly adapted to moderately 
moist or irritated lands. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per 
acre in spring. 
BED TOP (Solid Seed) —Valuable for low land, as 
it is not injured by water. It also grows well on 
high land. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, and makes very 
good hay. Finest recleaned seed. Sow 8 to 10 
pounds per acre. 
REED CANARY GRASS —Is one perennial grass that 
will thrive in marshy places, stands under water 
for weeks without injury, yields enormous ton¬ 
nage of hay with feed value equal to wheat bran. 
Sow any time before June 20th at the rate of 
10 to 12 pounds per acre, broadcast. It forms a 
sod rapidly through the spreading of underground 
roots. Makes your low lands grow profitable crops. 
SUDAN GRASS, for Hay and Pasture —Sudan Grass 
is strictly an annual, and dies each year like mil 
let. Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a height of from 
7 to 9 feet. The stems are small and are rarely 
larger than a lead pencil. The plant stools won¬ 
derfully and produces, under favorable conditions, 
as many as 100 stalks from a single root. 
BROME GRASS (Northern Grown Seed) —Yields 
enormous crops of splendid hay, and affords early 
and abundant pasture. It adapts itself to almost 
any condition of soil and climate and to any use 
to which grass may be put. The roots penetrate 
the soil deeply and form fresh plants on every 
side. It starts from two to three weeks earlier in 
the spring than native prairie grass, and keep§ 
green in autumn longer than any of the useful 
grasses grown in the West. No amount of cold 
seems to affect it, and it surpasses all other 
grasses in resisting heat and drought. It equals 
timothy for hay, and is splendid to sow with 
alfalfa, clover, meadow fescue or orchard grass 
for pasture. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—The newest and very 
best grass for the plains regions. Crested Wheat 
Grass is an introduction by the Bureau of Plant 
Industry from the steppes region of Siberia. It is 
adapted to a rainfall under 13 inches. In compari¬ 
son with slender wheat grass and brome grass it 
is a slightly heavier yielder of hay, producing from 
1 to iy 2 tons per acre. It becomes green in spring 
even earlier than brome grass and stays green 
later in the Fall. Where the slender wheat grass 
will not spread to any extent, the crested wheat 
will spread widely and completely cover the 
ground. This is undoubtedly the most important 
grass introduction that we have for the general 
plains conditions. Absolutely cold hardy. 
About 10 to 15 lbs. of seed should be used to 
the acre when the grass is seeded with a grain 
drill. This is the best method of planting for hay 
or pasture, but if the plan is to produce seed it 
may be best to plant the grass in rows and culti¬ 
vate. When sowing for seed use 4 to 5 lbs. per 
acre for double rows 42 inches apart. Crested 
Wheat Grass hay is of excellent quality if cut 
soon after blooming. 
CANADIAN BLUE GRASS—A more rapid grower 
than Kentucky Blue Grass and equally good for 
pasture, but not as suitable for lawns. This is 
an excellent pasture grass for poor dry land and 
should be more largely used for this purpose. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS, for Pasture —One of the 
best grasses for pasture and lawns. It starts to 
grow very early in the spring and remains green 
late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry 
land or places that are quite moist. 
TIMOTHY —One of the most popular grasses for hay 
and pasture. Sow 9 pounds of seed per acre if used 
alone. Fancy recleaned seed. 
TIMOTHY AND ALSIKEl MIXED —20 per cent Al- 
sike. Fine for hay or pasture.

ORCHARD GRASS — A 
strong growing, rather 
coarse grass, good for 
pasture and hay. Starts 
very early in the 
spring. Grows in tufts 
so should be sown with 
other early flowering 
grasses. Orchard grass 
makes a very rapid 
growth after being cut 
and affords good pas¬ 
ture within a week or 
10 days after cutting. 
Stands drought well as 
the roots extend deep 
into the soil. Sow 25 
to 30 pounds per acre.

GRASS — This is the 
valuable plant that 
grows wild over our 
western country and 
thrives well in Colo¬ 
rado, Wyoming, New 
Mexico, and North Da¬ 
kota. It is the famous 
bunch grass of the Ca¬ 
nadian Northwest. It 
is one of the best and 
is the surest hay grass 
for these sections. It 
produces large quanti¬ 
ties of hay and makes 
excellent permanent 
pasture. It withstands 
drought and the cold 
winters. As a mixture 
grass. Fifteen pounds of seed is usually sown to 
the acre and if planted with brome, 7 y 2 pounds to 
the acre. The seed being quite heavy, may be 
sown with any ordinary grain seeder. Plant 1 to 
3 inches deep. 
MIXED —10 per cent Al- 
Orchard Grass
