ORCHARD 
GRASS 
A valuable grass for 
pasture or hay, fine 
for mixing with al¬ 
falfa, making high 
quality mixed hay. 
On account of its 
earliness it is very 
valuable as a per¬ 
manent pasture. 
When closely crop¬ 
ped it grows up 
again very quickly. 
Withstands drouth 
and is very hardy. 
This is a particular¬ 
ly valuable grass for 
the west and we rec¬ 
ommend it in every 
pasture mixture. Sow 
not less than 20 lbs. 
to the acre. 
Write for prices. 
ENGLISH OR 
PERENNIAL 
RYE GRASS 
This is one of the 
very finest pasture Orchard Grass 
grasses. Used very 
extensively in the 
British Isles. The name Rye would indicate a tall, 
coarst grass, but the contrary is true. Perennial Rye 
is a low, close growing grass of very fine quality. 
The name comes from a resemblance of the seed 
head to that of Rye. We recommend Perennial Rye 
Grass in all formulas for irrigated lands. This is 
not a hay grass, but a heavy producing pasture 
grass. Write for prices. 
RED TOP 
A valuable grass for moist, rich soils where it 
thrives to best advantage. It should be fed close; 
if allowed to grow up to seed cattle dislike it. On 
good soil grows about two feet tall. A good grass 
to sow in connection with other grasses. If land 
is low and moist, try Red Top. Sow about 10 pounds 
per acre of hulled seeds. We strongly recommend a 
mixture of Red Top and Alsike Clover for water¬ 
logged landB or low places.

Pasture Mixtures for 
Irrigated Lands 
We do not offer prepared mixtures for pastures, 
preferring to let our customers buy the grasses 
separately and do their own mixing. In this way 
the customer knows what he is buying and sow¬ 
ing. 
We recommend the following as the mixture best 
adapted to irrigated lands: 
2 pounds Kentucky Blue Grass 
6 pounds Meadow Fescue 
6 pounds Orchard Grass 
6 pounds Oregon Rye Grass 
6 pounds Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
25 pounds per acre. 
Write for prices.

TEMPORARY PASTURE MIXTURE 
For a quick and temporary pasture mixture sow: 
15 pounds Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
10 pounds Oregon Rye Grass 
25 pounds to the acre. 
If sown in early spring, without nurse crop and 
watered freely, this formula should make a heavy 
pasture in 8 to 10 weeks. 
W'rite for prices. 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE

10 lbs. Red Clover 
10 lbs. Alfalfa 
5 lbs. Meadow Fescue 
25 lbs. per acre.

SHORT MOISTURE PASTURE FORMULA 
In locations where rainfall or sub-moisture is 
depended on, it is important to use the right kind 
of grasses best adapted to such locations that will 
produce pasture and hay profitably. We recommend 
strongly the following mixtures for such locations. 
2 y 2 lbs. Crested Wheat Grass 
7% lbs. Brome Grass 
2 lbs. Kentucky Blue Grass 
6 lbs. Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
Sow 17 pounds per acre as above. This mixture 
can be sown on the snow in early spring or in the 
fall just before the rainy season sets in; any time 
that you have plenty'of moisture to start it. Sow 
broadcast on a well-settled seed bed. We strongly 
recommend this formula for irrigated districts where 
the water supply is not dependable.
