X-L FIELD SEEDS 
OR AH AM tROSS 
"X-L'' RED TOP 
Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre 
On land that is too wet for Timothy, Red Top is the best 
substitute for that grass. It will even thrive on land too wet 
for cultivation. A hardy perennial grass which grows from 
2 to 5 feet high. Makes good pasture and fair hay if cut 
early. Very palatable and relished by all forms of livestock. 
"X-L" TIMOTHY 
Sow from 8 to 12 lbs. per acre 
Timothy is the old standard hay and has been the most 
widely used for years. Timothy is the best hay for horses 
on heavy work, and there is no danger of giving the horse 
the scours. Timothy is cheap to plant, easily grown and of 
excellent quality. Thrives on clay and moist soils but not 
on poor light land. Timothy flowers in July and should be 
cut when in full bloom, later the hay becomes hard and 
coarse. Cut Timothy 4 inches from the ground, as most 
Timothy is killed by mowing too close. Timothy should not 
be sown alone for pasture, but together with other grasses 
such as Meadow Fescue and Red Top. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre broadcast 
GROWS QICKLY 
There is no other forage crop known that will resist drought 
like Sudan. It has been successfully grown on almost every 
kind of soil, from heavy clay to light sand. It is an annual 
and requires planting each season. In favorable seasons 
the growing period is long, and several cuttings can be 
obtained in one season. DO NOT SOW SUDAN GRASS 
BEFORE CORN PLANTING TIME. Like corn, it is a warm 
weather crop. It is an e»normous yielder of excellent hay 
that is relished by all forms of livestock. The leaves are 
retained well and if cut at the right stage will make a 
bright, leafy, sweet hay, of the very best quality. 
"X-L" HI-GERMINATING HUNTLEY 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE 
Recommended by the Federal Experiment Station at Hunt- 
ley as the best mixture for Montana. Tests have proven that 
it will pasture more stock per acre than any other. 
Suggested for one acre: 
3 lbs. Brome Grass 1 lb. White Clover 
4 lbs. Kentucky Blue Grass 1 lb. Alsiko Clover 
4 lbs. Orchard Grass 16 lbs. to 24 lbs per acre 
3 lbs. Meadow Fescue 
X'L Seed Corn 
High Yielding—Early Maturing—Montana Grown 
THE NEW CORN SENSATION 
We believe that we are one of the first seed firms to offer 
to our customers a MONTANA GROWN HYBRID SEED CORN. 
The value of hybrid corn has been proven in the Dakotas, 
Iowa and Nebraska where it produced a crop under severe 
drought when other varieties were a failure. We are proud 
that we can offer this season a MONTANA GROWN HYBRID 
corn that is hardy, and acclimated. 
MONTAWEALTH 
as this new hybrid is called, is HEAT, WIND and DROUGHT 
RESISTANT There are two things, particularly, which con¬ 
tribute to MONTAWEALTH'S ability to withstand more heat 
and drought than any other. They are virile leaves and 
immense roots. The leaves are dark green, shiny, smooth, 
almost waxy. Moisture escapes from them very slowly and 
for this reason Montawealth continues to grow while other 
corn stands still. 
The second reason for Montawealth's ability to withstand 
extreme conditions is its root system This new corn pos- 
esses the largest and deepest root system of any corn 
grown. It is comparatively easy to pull up a hill of open 
pollinated corn under normal conditions, and even ordinary 
hybrids can be lifted from the ground but NO MAN HAS 
EVER BEEN KNOWN TO UPROOT MONTAWEALTH ON A 
STRAIGHT PULL. 
Naturally roots that search so far for moisture provide a 
mighty anchor for the plant. That foundation, coupled with 
a stiff, unbending stalk, makes Montawealth the most wind 
proof corn in existence. 
A HEAVY YIELDER ' 
In test conducted in Montana the past three years Monta¬ 
wealth has yielded from 10 to 30 bushels more per acre than 
any other open-pollinated kinds. The fodder is partly green 
after picking and may still be cut and fed. It matures uni¬ 
formly and can all be completely ripened before normal 
killing frost. 
ORDER EARLY 
For the season of 1938 there will not be enough MONTA¬ 
WEALTH Hybrid corn to take care of the demand so order 
at once. 
J. Bogner oi Belt in¬ 
specting his field of 
"X-L" Sudan Grass 
raised on dry land 
last year. It produced 
two crops. 
FALCONER 
The Best Semi-Dent 
A Semi-Dent which is a cross between a Northern Yellow 
Dent and a Yellow Flint. It is a tremendous yielder and is 
grown very extensively. Grows tall enough to be cut with 
a corn binder. Raises an extra fine lot of leafy fodder and 
is the best for a main crop where seasons are cold, late 
of short. 
NORTHWESTERN RED DENT 
This is a short season corn maturing in 80 to 90 days, 
making it desirable for sections where the time between 
the late and early frosts is short. It is dented and the corn 
would be satisfactory for grain feeding. Stalks grow 5 to 7 
feet high and are very thin and leafy. Splendid for Montana. 
"X-L" HI-GERMINATING GEHU 
OR YELLOW FLINT 
The very earliest of flint corn, producing two or three ears 
to the stalk. For some of Montana's high altitude counties 
this corn is a wonder as it is drought, frost and hail re¬ 
sistant to a greater extent than any other variety. 
PIONEER WHITE DENT CORN 
The earliest, hardiest V/hite Dent in cultivation. Pioneer 
White Dent is perhaps the surest pure dent variety that can 
be grown in the northwest, and is in addition the easiest 
dent to pick for those wishing only the grain crop. This corn 
has never failed to produce some ripe corn for us even in the 
worst years and has proved an unusual success in eastern 
Montana where it is very popular. The ears average 6 to 8 
inches long, gently tapering, 14 to 16 rows of kernels which 
are white with occasional pink shading; cob mostly white; 
stalks 5 to 7 feet high; ears 2 feet from the ground. 
Mr. and Mrs. Job Robinson of the Robinson Dairy inspect¬ 
ing their crop of X-L FODDER CORN. Compare the height of 
this corn with the corn binder and Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. 
Mr. Robinson has used X-L Fodder Corn for the_ past three 
years, cutting it like hay and placing it in a pit silo.
