RED TOP (Solid Seed) 
Red Top grows under a greater variety of conditions, than 
almost any other grass. It is the best wet land grass next 
to Phalaris, and it will grow on soils s,o poor in lime that 
other kinds fail entirely. Red Top will thrive on almost every 
type of soil except sand, and in every part of the country. 
It grows rapidly and vigorously, it withstands prolonged 
drought, and it forms a dense, compact sod that withstands 
heavy grazing and continues to grow longer than any other 
grass. Red Top provides good pasture and it grows heavy 
enough and tall enough to make good hay. Ideal for wet 
land or a soar land hay crop and for pasture on damp soils 
not sweet enough for Kentucky Blue Brass. 2 to 2y 2 feet 
high. Sow in early spring, at the rate of 8 lbs. per acre, 
broadcast, covering lightly with weeder or sweep. Often 
sown broadcast after drilling in grain, the grain serving as 
a nurse crop. Bags free.

SUDAN GRASS 
Haven’t you a few acres on your farm upon which you 
would like some hay that can be raised quickly and easily 
and that will give you 4 to 8 tons of cured hay per acre? 
Plant Salzer’s Sudan Grass Seed! The drier and hotter the 
weather, the more will you be surprised at the wonderful 
yield. Salzer’s Sudan Grass is one of the most prolific hay 
crops ever grown; in the South it gives three crops and in 
the North, two crops of hay a season. A surprisingly rapid 
grower, and as a catch crop fully equal to Millet. Sudan 
Grass is used for pasture, ensilage and soiling as well as for 
hay. It does best on a rich loam soil, but it has been grown 
successfully on almost every class of soil from a heavy clay 
to a light sand. It is sweet, heavy-yielding grass; absolutely 
drought proof; stock of all kinds eat it greedily, often in 
preference to Alfalfa; it analyzes over 9 per cent protein. 
Culture —Sudan Grass is an annual. Do not plant it until 
the soil is warmed up in the spring. Sow at the rate of 25 to 
35 lbs. per acre, using a grain drill and cover from 1 to iy 2 in. 
deep. A heavy seeding is desirable. The seed is cheap. Cut 
at the heading out stage. Easy to cut with mower and cures 
readily. Place in cocks, the same as Alfalfa, and leave it long 
enough for the stems to become dry. Cut again when high 
enough. If grown for seed, only one crop can be harvested. 
All live stock eat the hay readily and greedily. There is a 
place for Sudan Grass on every farm. It is cheap, it grows 
rapidly, and it makes its best growth when other pastures 
often fail during the hot weather. Can be sown any time 70 
to 75 days before frost. There have been cases of cattle 
poisoning from Sudan Grass, but if not pastured until the 
plants are knee-high, nor if the plants become stunted from 
any factor, or wilted, the amount of prussic acid is small and 
not dangerous. These are the findings of the Wisconsin Sta¬ 
tion. The quick and enormous yield of hay and pasturage are 
of such tremendous benefit to the farm, that it is being more 
widely planted each year. 35 lbs. Sudan and 30 lbs. Soy 
Beans per acre, drilled in with a grain drill, in 18-20 in. rows, 
make a good hog pasture and ensilage. 4530—Lb., 25c; 5 lbs.,

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Also known as June Grass. This grass is one of the 
first to start up in the spring and is still green when 
the snow flies in the fall. Uninjured by extremes of 
cold, heat, wet or drought, its hardiness and ability to 
withstand tramping of hoofs has made it particularly 
valuable everywhere, consequently it is now very ex¬ 
tensively grown. It is easy to start, easy to grow and 
to establish pastures of the greenest verdure. Its feed¬ 
ing value is exceptionally high, and it makes one of 
the best, sweetest and most nutritious pastures or hay 
crops that can be grown. Broadcast 20 to 30 lbs. per 
acre, covering lightly with weeder or sweep. Kentucky 
Blue Grass takes hold slowly, hence a clean seed bed 
and clean seed are important. Bags free.

BROME GRASS 
Very desirable for permanent pasture and one of the 
very best grasses for dry soils. Brome Grass is one of our 
hardiest perennial grasses; no amount of cold will kill it. 
It withstands the severest drought, and water may stand 
on it for weeks without injury. 
It roots deeply, often 4 to 6 feet, growing on good soils 
where large yields of cured hay are harvested, and also 
giving splendid returns on poor, sandy land where timothy 
is frequently a failure. As a pasture grass it is of special 
value, staying green and succulent during summer and 
enduring close cropping. Sow 25 lbs. per acre broadcast, 
covering % in. deep. Bags free.

SALZER’S PENCILARIA 
Pencilaria should be planted six inches apart in the 
row and the rows about 3% feet apart. Cultivate two or 
three times if possible, and by that time the. sight will 
astonish the beholder. It will average 40 rich, juicy, leafy 
stalks to the plant, which will be covered with seed heads 
12 to 24 inches long. The seed makes good food for poul¬ 
try, and ground for cattle, it cannot be beat. Sow when 
you would Corn. The usual way of growing it, however, is 
to mow it when 3 to 6 feet high, and it will immediately 
start again, and can be mowed 3 to 4 times during the 
season. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, either 
in its green or dry state. Every farmer should try it if 
he wants an immense crop of fodder cheaply. Sow in 
drills 5 to 6 lbs., or broadcast, 8 lbs. per acre.
