THE MIRACLE GRASS 
Also Known As Phalaris 
This grass is a perennial and lasts several 
years. It will establish a heavy sod on land too 
wet for other crops. It is easy to eradicate. 
This grass is best adapted for low wet land, aL 
though it has been found to produce paying 
crops on drained land and upland. It roots fairly deep. It is a wonderful 
drought resister.' During a dry season when other grasses and forage crops 
were practically a failure, Reed’s Canary Grass produced 3 tons of hay per 
acre. 
Seeding and Soil Requirements 
It can be successfully grown most anywhere in the northern 
half of the U. S. Thrives on sour soil. Grows standing in 
water. Reed’s Canary Grass can be sown in spring or fall. 
Spring seeding is most common. Can be sown real early in the 
spring. Sow it alone or with a very light seeding of grain. For a 
seed crop sow about 3 lb. per acre in rows about 18 inches apart. 
Should be cultivated once or twice. For hay or pasture sow 6 to 8 
lb. per acre. Only cover the seed lightly. About y 2 inch is plenty. 
You can sow broadcast and go over with a roller if soil is loose. 
Practically all our seed comes from Minnesota. Our seed is clean 
and has good germination. 
Profitable Crop 
Grows 4 to G feet high. Yields 3 to 5 tons per acre. The hay has high 
feeding value. All livestock will eat it. Under average conditions two or three 
cuttings per acre are obtained. You can cut off the heads for seed and still 
get a full crop of fine quality of hay from the stand. Produces 100 to 175 lb. 
of seed per acre. This is a fine grass for pasture, It can be pastured 
from early spring until late in the fall. Has pastured four mature cows 
per acre for a period of seven months. 
Postpaid Price: 1 lb., 60c ; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.50.

LAWN GRASS MIXTURES white dutch 
Mixtures That Produce Beautiful Lawns 
We have worked out several blends of grasses to produce healthy, compact, 
beautiful sods in a very short time. These mixtures are adapted to different 
soil and climatic conditions. All seed is recleaned high testing. You will find 
them thoroughly reliable and you will find them much more economical in the 
end than experimenting with untried or improperly blended mixtures. 
American Fancy Lawn Mixture. Fine evergreen grasses mixed to fit the aver¬ 
age soil and climatic conditions in the United States. Makes a fine sod in a 
short time and is highly satisfactory for most sections. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.70; 10 lbs., $3.20.

The famous pasture clover. Also 
used in lawns. Low growing, drought 
resistant and very nutritious. Adds
