ALFALFA 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Domestic Alfalfa. Fancy Domestic High Altitude Seed. Hardy 
anywhere, high purity and germination. 
Domestic Alfalfa (Dry Land Grown). Grown in the dry plains 
region without irrigation. Very hardy and productive. 
Grimm Alfalfa. State Sealed and Certified Seed. Grimm 
Alfalfa is a very hardy and consistent producer, and is recom¬ 
mended for all Northwest sections where alfalfa is considered 
to have a place. Highest grade seed. 
Grimm Alfalfa (Growers’ Affidavit Seed). This seed is as good 
and pure and will produce as much fine hay per acre as the 
certified seed. The grower makes affidavit that it is genuine 
Grimm seed. 
BARLEY 
Sow 120 to 150 pounds per acre. 
Success Beardless Barley. Spring. Straw about height of 
common barley. Stands up better than other varieties. Con¬ 
tains no beard. 
White Hulless or Bald Barley (Beardless). An early spring 
variety. When threshed is hulless like wheat. 
Hannchen Barley. Heavy yielding, spring variety, medium 
early, white, two row, bearded type. 
Trebi Barley. Spring. This is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled bar¬ 
ley adapted to irrigated conditions. Though it is a rough awned 
variety it has the advantage over coast barley in that the awns 
thresh free from the grain, thus eliminating considerable dan¬ 
ger in feeding. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow 50 to 60 pounds per acre. 
Japanese. This is the largest growing buckwheat. The plant 
makes a more vigorous and larger growth than the common 
kind and yields more. Adapted throughout the Northwest. 
Silver Hull. The kernels are gray and are much smaller than 
the Japanese variety. They are very plump and heavy and 
make excellent flour. Also adapted throughout the Northwest. 
CLOVER 
Mammoth Red Clover. Also called “Pea Vine” Clover. This 
variety grows larger and coarser than the medium and is 
often used for plowing under to enrich the soil, for which pur¬ 
pose it is very valuable. American grown seed. Sow 6 to 10 
pounds per acre. 
Hubam Annual Sweet Clover. Hubam Clover has come rap¬ 
idly to the front as an emergency pasture and hay crop. 
Hubam is an annual legume, the seed of which resembles 
that of White Blossom Sweet Clover. It is best suited for the 
corn belt section, grows from 3 to 7 feet high, depending upon 
soil and climatic conditions. 
Ladino White Clover. Is a very large form of clover, usually 
making a growth of 8 to 12 inches. A perennial. The stems lie 
flat on the ground and commonly root at the joints. Can be 
grown on rather shallow land where well supplied with humus 
and moisture. Makes especially vigorous growth on the lower, 
medium heavy types of soil. Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens). A very hardy creeping 
clover, which adapts itself to a great variety of soils and cli¬ 
mates, being found in every state in the Union. Superior for 
pasture either for sheep or cattle. As a bee pasture it is un¬ 
excelled. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
Yellow Sweet Clover, Biennial (Melilotus officinalis). In great 
demand on account of its earliness, being about two weeks 
earlier than the white. Does not grow as tall as white, finer 
stemmed, and makes just as good pasturage. Produces high 
quality hay. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
White Sweet or Bokhara Clover, Biennial (Melilotus Alba). 
Excellent for pasture, hay and a soil improver. More drouth- 
resistant than alfalfa and will generally produce a large crop 
of seed and hay the second year. Thrives on light alkali soil. 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Crimson or Scarlet Clover (Trifolium incarnatum). Highly 
recommended for pasture and fertilizing purposes. A thrifty 
annual. Germinates quickly, grows rapidly, stools abundantly. 
Spring seeded. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense). Is excellent for pasture and 
hay purposes and is used very extensively throughout the 
country. Will thrive in slightly wetter and more acid land 
than alfalfa. We therefore recommend its use in the higher 
altitudes and colder sections. Sow 6 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Alsiko (Trifolium hybridum). Very hardy, adapted for sowing 
on cold, wet land. Planted at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
It yields a large amount of hay or pasture and is a good bee 
plant. Write for quantity prices. 
FIELD CORN 
See Vegetable Seed, page 23. 
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 
mature seed. Yields 10 to 20 bushels per acre. May be used 
with success as a nurse crop for clovers and grasses where 
there is plentiful summer moisture, and is the most desirable 
crop to follow on native sod. Sow 42 pounds per acre. 
GRASSES 
Bromus Inermis (Awnless Brome Grass). The best grass we 
have for the drier 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 as hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre on well 
prepared soil. 
Mesquite (Holcus lanatus). Used on burned over, virgin soils. 
No cultivation is necessary. Plant at the rate of 15 pounds 
per acre. Sow 15 pounds per acre. 
Oat Grass, Tall Meadow. The earliest grass to start in the 
spring and holds well into the fall. Withstands rather dry, 
warm and cold conditions much better than many 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 
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 28 pounds per acre on well pre¬ 
pared 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, 25 to 30 pounds per 
acre. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum). A quick growing 
grass, attaining a height of 2 y 2 to 4 ft., desirable for temporary 
meadows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that are slightly 
moist, and will even stand considerable overflow. Grows easily 
and produces an abundance of excellent forage either as hay 
or pasture. Sow 25 pounds per acre. 
Oregon Rye Grass. Similar to Italian. The finest rye grass 
grown; superior to imported. Pasture, 25 pounds per acre. 
Timothy (Phleum pratense). This is a very valuable grass for 
hay. Thrives best on moist, loamy soil. Sow early in the 
spring or fall. Sow 8 to 10 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. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Sudan Grass. An excellent annual drouth resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. Seed in spring after soil is warm 
at 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Red Top (Agrostis alba). A valuable grass for most soils. It 
is a good, permanent grass. It should be grazed close. It has 
been grown successfully on “alkali” bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. 
of clean seed to the acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This is an excellent grass for pasture 
for all kinds of stock. It is very hardy. The roots form a tough 
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 lbs. to the acre. 
Crested Wheat Grass. This is the valuable plant for our West¬ 
ern country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. It is re¬ 
lated to the famous bunch grass of the west. It is one of the 
best and surest hay grasses for these sections. It produces 
good crops of hay and makes excellent permanent pasture. 
It withstands drought and the cold winters. As a mixture it 
does fine with Brome grass. 10 to 15 pounds of seed is usually 
sown to the acre. 
Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an extremely 
harry perennial production of 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 8 
to 10 pounds per acre broadcast.
