GRASSES 
SUDAN GRASS 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Will outlive any other grasses for pasture or lawn, but 
should not be cut or pastured too closely in extremely 
hot, dry weather. The seed is very slow in germinating, 
therefore, it is advisable to plant with other varieties of 
quicker growing habits. Makes a sweet and nutritious 
pasture for all stock. See Special list for prices. 
Poa Trivialis 
A perennial which grows well in moist and cool loca¬ 
tions. Is particularly suited for shady places where it 
is difficult to get Blue Grass to make a satisfactory 
turf. Will not do well in dry soil. See Special list for 
prices. 
Rye Grass 
Is a very quick growing grass and for that reason makes 
an excellent pasture. It thrives on rich, moist land, 
where from three to four cuttings may be made in a 
season. Grows very quickly and will stand close pastur¬ 
age. See Special Field Seed price list for prices. 
Red Top 
As a hay crop Red Top is next to Timothy in importance. 
It will do the best on rather moist soil, but will thrive 
on most any soil. It is a good variety to sow with Tim¬ 
othy or Clover for meadow or pasture, and is more per¬ 
manent than either of the other two. Prices quoted on 
Special Yellow price list. 
Astoria Bent 
This is considered one of the best Bent grasses, due to 
its deep rooting and underground creeping habits. The 
Astoria root mat is very dense and creepers develop in 
the second fall of the planting. For prices, please refer 
to Yellow Field Seed price list. 
Seaside Bent 
The Seaside is a surface creeper and requires more care 
than the Astoria through watering and feeding. It de¬ 
velops prolific runners, and like the Astoria weathers 
the winters excellently. Seaside is a decided Stolonifera 
Bent. Prices quoted on Special Yellow list. 
Chewings Fescue 
Best seeded alone when used for greens. Produces a 
mass of fine root leaves, branches being extravaginal and 
plant spreading to a solid, compact turf. Does well in 
poor or sandy soils, and in the shade. Chewings Fescue 
is recommended for putting greens and fairways. See 
Special list for prices. 
Meadow Fescue 
Especially suited for pasture and is also fine for hay. 
Succeeds even in poor soil and will endure severe freez¬ 
ing. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive on it 
whether it is dry or green. Prices quoted on Special 
Field Seed price list. 
Orchard Grass 
Is an early fibrous rooted perennial. Its rapid growth 
makes it very desirable for pasture. Withstands droughts 
better than most grasses. Will thrive in the shade such 
as in orchards and lanes. When closely cropped it grows 
up quickly, and is ready for grazing again in 10 to 12 
days. See Special list for prices. 
Bromus Inermis 
This is a grass that has no equal for hardiness and 
drought resistance. It will grow in any kind of soil and 
in any kind of weather. Produces an abundant hay crop, 
and makes an excellent pasture. Brome Grass thickens 
up rapidly by underground roots or stems. A thin stand 
thus improves quickly. It forms a dense sod six to eight 
inches thick, thus binding the soil together and prevent¬ 
ing it from being wind blown. For prices see Yellow 
Field Seed price list. 
Timothy 
The principal thing to look at when about to sow Tim¬ 
othy, is the quality of the seed. Our reliable seed is 
tested, and is of superior quality. Ten pounds of good 
Timothy seed is sufficient for one acre making an in¬ 
expensive crop to seed. Prices given on Special Field 
Seed price list. 
Timothy and Alsike Mixed 
For those who prefer to sow Alsike Clover and Timothy 
together, we have a mixture that has the right propor¬ 
tions for growing a splendid hay crop. See Special Field 
Seed list for prices. 
SORGHUM 
As a soiling crop, sorghum will always prove of great 
value, since at least two crops can be obtained from one 
sowing. Milch cows are exceptionally fond of sorghum. 
It is excellent for milk production and a given area fur¬ 
nishes a large quantity of succulent food. Sorghum 
outyields fodder corn, producing a richer and more nu¬ 
tritious feed of greater value. Prices given on Special 
list. 
Sudan grass belongs to the sorghum family. It is an 
annual, lacking underground root stalks. Two cuttings 
can be obtained under favorable conditions, and may 
yield from 2 to B tons of cured hay pet acre. It should 
be seeded about corn planting time. If for hay, sow 
about 25 to 30 pounds to the acre broadcast. Cut just 
before it comes to a head. If wanted for silage, sow 
about 10 pounds to the acre in rows and cultivate the 
same as corn, or it may be sown with fodder corn if 
preferred. Sudan, if cultivated, will grow to a height of 
8 or 10 feet. See Special Field Seed price list for latest 
quotations. 
WHEAT 
Marquis Wheat 
A hard red spring wheat, beardless with long heads and 
very stiff straw of medium length. Kernels are short 
and thick and very plump. Ripens early, ahead of other 
spring varieties. Outyields nearly all spring wheats. 
See Field Seetl List for prices. 
Thatcher Wheat 
Thatcher is the newest wheat variety introduced by the 
Minnesota Experiment Station. It is more rust resistant 
than most other varieties, beardless and is similar to 
Marquis in appearance, milling and baking qualities. It 
matures early and is a very heavy yielder. Please* refer 
to Yellow List for prices. 
Winter Wheat 
This is a bearded, white chaffed winter wheat which 
produces kernels of the well-known Turkey type. Prices 
given on Yellow Field Seed price list. 
BARLEY 
Velvet Barley 
A new introduction from the Minnesota Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. It is a heavy yielder, has a very stiff straw and is 
more disease resistant than many other varieties. A 
smooth awned six rowed variety which in comparative 
test has been consistently a heavy yielder as compared 
with other varieties. See Special price list for prices. 
Manshury 
Is early and very vigorous in growth. It has a strong, 
stiff straw which very seldom lodges. The heads are 
long and well filled with grain of fine quality and color. 
It yields abundantly. For prices see our Yellow price list. 
Wisconsin No. 38 (Barbless) 
A new heavy yielding barley that is noted for its resist¬ 
ance to disease, stiffness of straw and the ability to 
withstand the extreme heat of summer better than most 
other varieties. One of the finest for malting. See Special 
list for prices. 
OATS 
CULTURE. Sow oats at the rate of 2 to 2% bushels 
to the acre, very early in the spring on a well prepared 
field with a modern grain drill. Deep seeding on heavy 
clay soil is often fatal to the crop. Two inches is deep 
enough on a fine, compact seed bed. 
Gopher Oats 
Gopher is a white, early maturing, stiff strawed variety 
especially adapted for southern Minnesota conditions. 
It has shown remarkable yielding ability in central 
Minnesota and is a good yielder on peat land. Gopher is 
an extra early variety usually maturing before the hot 
weather and rust have a chance to affect it seriously. 
Its extreme earliness, resistance to lodging and rust and 
fine quality make it one of the most desirable oats for 
this section. See Special list for prices. 
Gould’s Selected Swedish Oats 
These oats we do not hesitate to place among the best 
for our northern climate. It is a heavy yielder of large, 
plump, white kernels. The straw grows quite tall, and 
does well on medium or light soil. Its habit of growth 
is so vigorous that on heavy soil it is likely to lodge. 
See Yellow Field Seed list for prices. 
Sixty-Day Oats 
Is recognized as being the quickest maturing oats on the 
market. It is a good yielder and a sure cropper, being 
very often sown after other crops have failed. It Is a 
small yellowish oat that weighs about 34 pounds to the 
bushel; the hull is very thin. It is so early that it may 
be harvested with barley, and is three weeks ahead of 
most other sorts. See Special price list. 
N. K. & Co.’s Lincoln Oats 
Is another oat that has given very splendid results. 
Owing to its strong stiff straw it very seldom lodges 
and may be raised with marked success in very rich 
soil. Refer to Field Seed list for prices.
