"X-L" ALSIKE OR SWEDISH 
CLOVER 
Sow 8 lbs. per acre 
This clover has the same soil build¬ 
ing properties as Red Clover and is a 
true hardy perennial, with fiber instead 
of tap roots, and it is not injured by 
thawing and freezing. 
Can be sown on soil that is slightly 
acid or sour, where lime cannot be 
applied and where other clover or 
alfalfa will not grow. It can be sown 
on heavy, wet, or low soil that some¬ 
times becomes waterlogged, and also 
endures drought. If sown for hay it 
should be mixed with other clover, 
timothy or alsike. When mixed its 
feeding value is nearly equal to that 
of Alfalfa.

"X-L" WHITE BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre 
It is one of the easiest of clovers to get started and out- 
yields any other variety for pasture purposes. Starts grow¬ 
ing early in the spring and stays green until late in the 
fall. Will make a good crop of roughage or hay under 
conditions which might cause an Alfalfa crop failure. 
"X-L" MEDIUM RED 
Sow 10 lbs. per acre 
Fits better into crop rotation than any other legume. It 
will increase yield of succeeding crops, besides furnishing 
many tons of hay of high protein content. The first crop is 
usually cut for hay, before it comes into full bloom. The 
second crop may be cut for hay or seed or turned under 
to fertilize the soil. It is adapted to any well drained soil 
free from acidity. Furnishes luxuriant pasture and hay for 
cattle and sheep. 
"X-L" WHITE DUTCH (Perennial) 
Sow 1 lb. per 300 square feet for lawns; 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
Makes any pasture grass better and is relished by all 
livestock. Thrives best in moist soil containing lime and 
considerable humus. 
Grasses 
"X-L" CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
The hardiest and most drought resistant grass yet dis¬ 
covered. It has a longer productive period than Slender 
Wheat Grass or Brome. It is a native to the cold, dry plains 
of Russia and particularly adapted to the drier parts of the 
northwest. The hay contains as much protein as alfalfa 
and stock eat it readily. 
Crested Wheat Grass is able to grow at low tempera¬ 
tures and as a result, makes earlier and more rapid growth 
than other grasses. This grass has a wide range of adapta¬ 
tion as to soil types and has been successfully grown on 
soil of almost any texture, ranging from light sandy to 
heavy clay soils. It will produce a satisfactory pasture on 
gravelly ridges and bench lands where other grasses fail. 
It may be planted in the spring as soon as the frost is 
out of the surface soil. Early seeding is best and better 
results are obtained if seeded when there is moisture in 
the surface soil so that growth will begin at once. It may 
also be sown in the fall, but not too early. It is better to 
wait until late October or November, or just before the 
freezing weather sets in. May be seeded with a regular 
grain drill or a broadcast seeder and covered with a drag 
harrow. Extreme care should be exercised not to cover the 
seed more than Vz fo IVz inches deep. Either single or 
double disc drill may be used. Set the drill just deep enough 
to push aside the trash and make a shallow furrow in 
which to drop the seed. 
FOR PASTURE—Seed at the rate of 6 to 10 pounds per 
acre in close drills. If being seeded for seed production, seed 
in rows 36 inches to 42 inches apart, using from 3 to 4 
pounds per acre. 
Wo offer Montana grown seed produced from a registered 
field. 
"X-L" WESTERN WHEAT GRASS OR BLUE 
JOINT 
Sow 12 lbs. per acre broadcast 
Produces a very nutritious hay and makes one of the 
finest pastures for cattle, sheep and horses. Unlike other 
grasses that die down in the fall with the first frost this 
wonderful grass is not affected and furnishes pasture winter 
months as well as in the spring and summer. Once started 
it lasts a lifetime. Stands extreme heat in the summer and 
40 to 50 degrees below zero in the winter without apparent 
injury. Prefers clay soils. Plant 12 pounds per acre by 
broadcasting the seed on firm ground in winter months or 
early spring. 
"X-L" WESTERN RYE GRASS OR SLENDER 
WHEAT 
Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre broadcast 
One of the most valuable of western native grasses. It is 
perennial and very resistant to both drought and cold. Has 
ability to grow in alkali land and is very palatable and nu¬ 
tritious to cattle and horses. The ordinary yield of hay is 
1^ to 2 tons per acre. It may be sown alone or in pasture 
mixtures and is well adapted for planting in Wyoming, 
Montana, the Dakotas, and Idaho. 
"X-L" DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
Sow 15 to 25 lbs. per acre broadcast 
This grass is well adapted for pastures, meadows and 
lawn, as it endures close cropping and makes a dense, 
leafy undergrowth. It thrives almost everywhere but grows 
best in moderately rich soil. In this climate should be 
treated as an annual. 
"X-L" BROME GRASS 
Sow 15 to 25 lbs. per acre 
Brome s a vigorous, hardy perennial with strong, creeping 
roots which make excellent hay and pasture on poor, dry 
soil or on moist, low ground that is flooded at times. It 
may be sown on hillsides and terraces to keep the soil 
from being washed away. It makes an early growth and 
remains green until early winter and will stand close crop¬ 
ping. Makes excellent pasture and fair hay. For hay it 
should be cut just before flowering. 
"X-L" ORCHARD GRASS 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre 
This is one of the earliest grasses to start up in the spring, 
remains green during long hot summers and late into the 
fall. Roots penetrate to a considerable depth causing it to 
withstand drought better than most other grasses on light 
and dry soils. It has quick second growth and can be cut 
several times. 
"X-L" MEADOW FESCUE OR ENGLISH 
BLUE GRASS 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre 
This hardy western grass stands more abuse than Timothy 
and other grasses and will stand close cropping, drought and 
unfavorable soil conditions. Grows 2 to 3 feet high and 
produces a very leafy undergrowth. When used for hay 
it should be cut when in bloom, for then its nutritive value 
is three times greater than when the seed has ripened. 
Stock may be pastured on Meadow Fescue after frost has 
killed the native grasses thus reducing the period of dry-lot 
feeding.
