TIMOTHY 
For reliability, adaptability and 
economy you will find Timothy hard 
to beat. It has been the old standby 
for years and will continue as such 
for years to come because it is nat¬ 
urally adapted throughout a very 
large territory. It is cheap to sow 
and easy to get a stand. You can 
sow either in the spring or fall. A 
bushel sows four acres, some stretch 
it to five. It makes good pasture and 
good hay. It fits into mixtures ex¬ 
ceptionally well. 
Timothy with red and alsike clover 
makes a dandy crop of hay. The 
Timothy holds up the clovers and in¬ 
creases yield greatly. It is being ex¬ 
tensively used with alfalfa and pro¬ 
ducing bigger crops. It is ideal for 
thickening up thin stands of alfalfa. 
Timothy will grow on poor clay land 
and responds to the fertility of richer 
acres It is not sensitive to acid con¬ 
ditions and will stand a lot of dry weath¬ 
er. Some farmers do not care about it 
because they want crops with more pro¬ 
tein like alfalfa or clovers. They are 
excellent (without question) but for a good 
all around grass Timothy is just pretty 
hard to beat. 
I get my Timothy seed from the nation s 
greatest producing section. The seed is 
all recleaned and tested. If you want to 
grow something real nice order some Sun- 
field’s Pur-Gro Brand and see the dif¬ 
ference. 
REED'S CANARY GRASS 
The Grass of Astonishing Qualities 
The fast expanding use of Reed’s Canary 
Grass is due to the great value that this 
grass has given under widely different con¬ 
ditions. It was originally introduced as a 
grass for wet land and it has no equal in that 
respect. The astonishing fact is that it has 
likewise proven a great drought resister on 
upland loam soils. It has done so astonish¬ 
ingly well that farmers everywhere are sow¬ 
ing Reed’s Canary Grass. 
It is a permanent grass. Stands have been 
maintained for as high as 45 years. It makes 
a very dense sod. On soft boggy land a 2 
or 3 year old sod will support a team and 
wagon. It is very winter hardy and is widely 
used in northern states. Thrives on sour 
land. Grows in water. Stands a lot of over¬ 
flow. During the past 
dry years, it has stood 
out among crops in ap¬ 
pearance. Often it was 
the greenest and most 
vigorous grass in ex¬ 
perimental fields, out- 
yielding even sudan 
grass. 
Reed’s Canary grass 
does not become pois¬ 
onous. Is not difficult to 
eradicate. Its leaves 
are quite broad. It is 
palatable as hay or 
pasture. All kinds of live stock are fond 
of it. This grass is highly productive out- 
yielding other grasses by as much as 50% 
on good upland. Hay yields are reported as 
averaging 3 to 4 tons per acre. 
The seed is somewhat hard to save but commands 
a good price and is a profitable crop in itself. 
Yields of 100 to 200 lbs. per acre are reported to us. 
Reed’s Canary Grass is sown both spring and fall 
with spring seedings most common. Prepare a 
well settled seed bed. Have it fine on top but fiijm 
underneath. Cover the seed very lightly. Roll it if 
possible. While it stands a lot of drought when 
once established, it should have favorable moisture 
conditions to get started. The average seeding rate 
is 6 lbs. per acre. Some sow only 3 and figure on 
the crop reseeding itself into a heavier stand. 
Reed’s Canary Grass will vary quite a lot in 
germination. Let us start you with Sunfield’s qual¬ 
ity stocks. It is all tested and guaranteed under 
the provisions of my guarantee on page 1.
