PERENNIAL PASTURE MIXTURES 
UPLAND AND LOWLAND 
PLANT FROM 15 TO 20 LBS. PER ACRE 
Most pastures in the Northwest are dead or else the grass is so 
thin that the weeds have taken possession. Why not replant at 
least part of your pasture with Gurney’s Upland or Lowland Pasture 
Mixtures? 
In ordering pasture mixture, state whether it is for high or 
low land. Each of these requires an entirely different mixture. By 
securing this best mixture, you can ordinarily pasture fifty per cent 
more stock per acre than you can with a single variety of grass. 
Our Pasture Mixtures are made up principally of the hardy 
grasses which have withstood the last six years of drought—such as 
Bromus and Western Wheat Grass. We have added smaller amounts 
to Crested Wheat Grass, Domestic Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy, 
Orchard Grass, Meadow Fescue, Blue Grass and Clovers. This 
makes a good pasture from early in the spring through the hot, dry 
summer and late in the fall until the pasture is covered with snow.

BROME GRASS 
Bromus Inermis is a vigorous, hardy perennial 
grass with strong, creeping roots. It is especially 
valuable for poor, dry soil for hay and pasture as 
it withstands heat, drought, and cold. It is use¬ 
ful for sowing on steep hillsides, as it forms a 
very firm sod and keeps the soil from being 
washed away. It makes an early growth, two to 
three weeks before any other grass, and remains 
green approximately until November. This grass 
grows three to four feet high, yielding enormous 
crops of excellent hay, two to four tons per acre. 
Sow Bromus Inermis at the rate of twenty 
pounds per acre. 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.35; 10 lbs., 
$2.55: 25 lbs., $5.90; 50 lbs., $11.50; 100 lbs., 
$21.75; 500 lbs., $105.00. 
WESTERN WHEAT OR SALT 
GRASS 
Is a native of western Dakota, and this year, 
the first since the great drought, has come back 
stronger than ever, taking the place of many of 
the other grasses which could not stand four 
years of drought and grasshoppers. It makes a 
good yield of extra quality, highly nutritious 
hay. Cattle fed Western Wheat Grass can be 
corn fed and marketed in a much shorter feeding 
period than when fed any of the softer grasses. 
Our stock is limited and you should order early. 
Plant at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 
35c; 5 lbs., $1.65; 10 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $6.90; 
50 lbs., $12.85; 100 lbs., $24.75. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
The hardiest and most drought resistant grass 
yet discovered. Introduced by the Department 
of Agriculture from the Steppes region of Siberia, 
it is a slightly heavier yielder of hay than bromus, 
producing 1 y 2 tons per acre. It becomes green 
in spring even earlier than bromus and stays 
green later in the fall. The crested wheat will 
spread widely and completely cover the ground. 
Plant from 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Where you are unable to water your lawn and 
can not use regular lawn grass, Crested Wheat 
Grass is a very good substitute, as it makes a 
firm, level sod and will stand close cutting. 1 lb., 
60c; 5 lbs., $2.80; 10 lbs., $5.40; 25 lbs., $12.90; 
50 lbs., $25.00: 100 lbs., $49.50. 
House of Gurney, 
Dear Sirs: 
I am enclosing order for garden seeds of 
$1.85. Last year we got your seeds thru 
your contest and were very well pleased with 
our garden crops. You will be interested to 
learn that four kinds of vegetables from your 
seed brought us prizes at the Fargo Garden 
Show. O. B. Beckley, 
Bordulac, N. D. 
Those living in the dry parts of the 
United States should plant Bromus, 
Western Wheat Grass, Crested Wheat 
Grass or our Perennial Upland Pasture 
Mixture. The other grasses listed are 
more suitable for sections with more 
rainfall.

TIMOTHY 
Timothy is the king of all grasses in our 
country; as a hay crop it has long been the 
standard and it is adapted to a wider range of 
conditions and is grown over a wider area than 
other grasses. 
This is the year to increase your timothy 
acreage. Our seed is all northern grown; thor¬ 
oughly recleaned, the best timothy seed on earth. 
You know what timothy is, and you can grow it* 
A few years ago it was almost unknown to the 
farmers and stock growers of South Dakota; 
today it is growing successfully ih the eastern 
hall of South Dakota, from the south to the 
north line. If sown alone, plant from 10 to 15 
pounds per acre. (45 lbs. per bu.) 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., 
$1.40; 50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $4.80. 
ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY 
MIXTURE 
20 Per Cent Alsike—80 Per Cent Timothy 
In the Northwest there is a great demand for 
a mixture of Alsike and Timothy Seed mixed in 
the right proportion ready for sowing. This 
mixture is especially valuable for low, wet places, 
for permanent meadow or for pasture, and on 
account of the very low price at which we offer 
it, you can seed down more of your farm to grass. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.55; 25 lbs., 
$3.40; 50 lbs., $5.90; 100 lbs., $11.50. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
OR PHALARIS 
A magnificent grass for wet, low-lying poorly 
drained soils—in fact, the only grass we know of 
for reclaiming waste, marshy lands. On many 
farms are to be found low wet situations where 
neither Red Top, Alsike, nor anything else will 
grow, and for these situations Phalaris or Reed 
Canary Grass is the thing to plant. The leaves 
are quite broad and the plant flourishes, often 
growing 5 to 7 feet high. Underground stems 
rapidly form a tough sod and hold hay machinery 
without difficulty. Yields of 4 to 5 tons of hay 
per acre from two cuttings, have been reported. 
One acre will pasture 3 or 4 cows and may be 
grazed closely except in the fall. If you have any 
wet or swampy land, Phalaris is the grass to 
plant. Plant 5 to 6 pounds per acre, drill J^-inch 
deep. As the seed shatters so easily and present 
acreage is limited, the seed is expensive but it is 
a real investment. 
I lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 lbs., $3.50; 25 lbs., 
$8.25; 50 lbs., $15.75; 100 lbs., $29.75.
