Crimson or Scarlet Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum). Highly- 
recommended for pasture and fertilizing purposes. A thrifty 
annual. Germinates quickly, gro-ws rapidly, stools abundantly. 
Red Clover (Trifolium Pratense). Furnishes an excellent feed 
for pasture and hay purposes and is used to a very great ex¬ 
tent throughout the country on lands unsuited to the grow¬ 
ing of alfalfa and also in crop rotations. It will withstand 
colder temperatures than most varieties of alfalfa and also 
will thrive in slightly wetter land than alfalfa. We therefore 
recommend its use in the higher altitudes and colder sections. 
Plant 15 pounds to the acre. 
Alsike (Trifolium Hybridum). Very hardy, adapted for sowing 
on cold, wet land. Planted at rate of 8 to 15 pounds per acre. 
It yields a large amount of hay or pasture and makes a good 
bee plant. Write for quantity prices.

FIELD CORN 
See Vegetable Seed, page 29. 
FLAX 
Flax may be grown with good success in the West. It matures 
quickly and may be planted as late as the middle of June and 
make a matured crop. Takes very little fertility and moisture 
from the soil and yields 10 to 20 bushels per acre. May be used 
with success as a nurse crop for clovers and grasses, and is 
the most desirable crop to follow on native sod. 
GRASSES 
Broinus Inermis (Awnless Brome Grass). The best grass we 
have for the semi-arid regions of the Northwest. Grows lux¬ 
uriantly, is freely eaten dry or green by cattle. Sow 25 to 30 
pounds per acre. Spring or fall. 
Meadow Fescue (Festuca Pratensis). This is a very valuable 
species for permanent grass lands and is relished by livestock 
both in hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre on well 
prepared soil. 
Oat Grass, Tall Meadow. The earliest grass to start in the 
spring and the last to die in the fall. Withstands drouth, neat 
and cold much better than other grasses. A long-lived, deep 
rooted perennial. Grows equally on bottom or upland. Pasture, 
20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Orchard Grass or Cocksfoot (Dactylis Glomerata). Valuable 
if planted alone or mixed with other grasses. Very often mixed 
with White Clover, Red Clover and Rye Grass. Seed should be 
broadcasted at the rate of 30 pounds per acre on well prepared 
soil. 
English Rye Grass (Lolium Perenne). A strong growing, hardy 
perennial grass, noted for its nutritive qualities. It is equally 
valuable for both grazing and hay. Pasture, 30 pounds per 
acres. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium Italicum). A quick growing grass, 
attaining a height of 2% to 4 feet, desirable for temporary 
meadows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that are slightly 
moist, and will even stand considerable overflow. Grows easily 
and supplies an abundance of the best and sweetest hay imag¬ 
inable. Sow 40 pounds per acre. 
Oregon Rye Grass. The finest rye grass grown, far superior 
to imported. Pasture, 30 pounds per acre. 
Timothy (Phleum Pratense). This is the most valuable of all 
grasses for hay. Thrives best on moist, loamy soil. Sow early 
in the spring or fall. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Pasture Mixture for Burned-over Land. A blend of grasses 
for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splendid value and 
very economical for such purposes. Highland or lowland. 
Sudan Grass. An excellent drouth resisting forage plant. All 
stock relish it. Drills. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre. Broadcast, 
16 to 20 pounds. 
Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris). A valuable grass for most soils. 
It is a good, permanent grass. It should be fed close, for if 
allowed to grow up to seed, the cattle refuse it. It has been 
grown successfully on “alkali” bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds of clean seed to the acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This makes the best, sweetest and most 
nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. It is very hardy and 
is uninjured by cold or dry weather, hot sun or tramping 
hoofs. The roots are so thick and stout that they form a rough 
sod. Blue Grass requires two years to get well started and for 
that reason is often sown in mixture with other grasses. From 
20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
Crested Wheat Grass. This is the valuable plant that grows 
wild over our Western country and thrives well in semi-arid 
sections. It is the famous bunch grass of the Canadian North¬ 
west. It is one of the best and is the surest hay grass for these 
sections. It produces large quantities of hay and makes excel¬ 
lent permanent pasture. It withstands drought and the cold 
winters. As a mixture it does fine with Brome grass. 15 lbs. 
of seed is usually sown to the acre. 
Reed Canai-y Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an extremely 
hardy perennial which successfully grows, produces hay and 
pasture on land too wet for common farm crops. It will not 
thrive on land covered by stagnant water, but will provide hay 
and pasture crop on land where the water table is practically 
at the surface of the soil all of the time and above the surface 
part of the time. Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre broadcast. 
MANGELS (See Vegetables, page 27) 
MILLETS 
20 to 30 lbs per acre. 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec¬ 
tions. 
German or Golden (Panicum Germanicum). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 40 
to 60 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and poultry. Also a good green fodder plant. 
Hog or Broomcorn. The seed is large for a Millet and is a rich 
food. The name “hog millet” is used to emphasize the use for 
which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs as well as 
for birds and poultry.
