Sudan Grass Makes Fine Green Pasture for Summer. 
GRASS SEEDS 
(Continued) 
Persistent grazing will not injure it. Pro¬ 
duces an immense number of leaves which 
are renewed quickly. Sow 8 to 10 pounds 
per acre. Lb. 60c, 10 lbs. $5.50. 
HARDING GRASS (phalaris stenoptera)— 
This is a true and lasting perennial grass 
standing hard usage and tramping of 
stock. It will furnish an excellent feed for 
years but can be easily eradicated if de¬ 
sired. The growth is tender and sweet, 
splendid for cattle, pigs, and sheep and 
has a heavy butterfat content. Sown at 
the rate of 3 pounds per acre as soon as 
the ground can be worked in the spring 
has given good results. Oz. 15c, lb. $1.50. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (lolium italicum)— 
A quick growing grass, attaining a height 
of 2 l /i to 4 feet. Very desirable for tem¬ 
porary meadows or pastures. Thrives best 
on moist soils and will stand considerable 
overflow. Sown in the fall, will produce 
an excellent hay crop the following sea¬ 
son, but lasts only one year. Bears an 
abundance of foliage that makes the best 
and sweetest hay imaginable. Ib. 25c, 10 
lbs. $2.00. 
MEADOW FESCUE, or English Blue Grass 
(festuca pratensis) —A valuable grass for 
permanent pasture and for rather damp 
meadows for cutting. Makes a quick sec¬ 
ond growth, but does not do so well on dry 
soils. Sow 30 pounds per acre. Lb. 45c, 
10 lbs. $3.50. 
SUDAN GRASS —No other grass supplies 
so much summer pasture and hay as does 
Sudan. We can supply you with this fine 
grass seed in any quantity. Samples 
gladly mailed on request. Lb. 20c, 10 lbs. 
$1.50. Let us quote you prices on larger 
quantities. 
SUDAN GRASS NO. 23 —This is a new in¬ 
troduction from the University Farm at 
Davis. Produces a much heavier tonnage 
of leaves than the regular strain. Lb. 25c. 
10 lbs. $2.00. Write for prices on larger 
quantities. 
MESQUITE (holcus lanatus) —Valuable on 
cleared redwood and pine lands of Cali¬ 
fornia and Oregon, giving large crops of 
hay and good pasturage. Usually sown 
on virgin soil without cultivation, after 
ground is burned over. Sow 15 pounds 
hulled seed per acre. Hulled seed, lb. 45c 
10 lbs. $3.50. 
ORCHARD GRASS, or Cocksfoot (dactylis 
glomerata) —One of the most valuable of 
all the cultivated grasses. Produces an im¬ 
mense quantitv of forage, and hay of the 
best quality. When planted with Red Clo¬ 
ver makes a fine hay. As a pasture grass 
is more productive than any other and 
does best under close feeding. It can be 
grown on almost any soil, in moist shady 
places, under trees, etc. Lb. 45c. 5 lbs. 
$2.00. 10 lbs. $3.50. 
RED TOP, or Herd's Grass (agrostis vul¬ 
garis) —A good perennial grass generally 
sown for permanent pastures. Does best 
on moist or even marshy land. If the

meadow fescue, orchard grass or alsike 
clover. Sow 14 pounds hulled seed to the 
acre. Lb. 45c, 10 lbs. $4.00. 
RHODES GRASS (chloris gayana) — A 
strong growing perennial introduced from 
South Africa. The grass spreads by means 
of running branches 2 to 6 feet long, which 
root and produce a tuft at every node. Not 
troublesome as a weed as it is easily 
eradicated. Makes most excellent pasture, 
and hay of very fine quality, eagerly eaten 
by horses and cows. Does well on alkali 
soils. Does not winter over where tem¬ 
perature falls below 18 degrees. Sow 4 to 
6 pounds per acre. Lb. 60c. 10 lbs. $5.50. 
TALL MEADOW OATS GRASS (avena 
elatior) —This deep-rooted perennial does 
well on rich as well as upland clay soils. 
Grows 5 to 6 feet tall and comes on early 
BEANS. BELL WINDSOR (small seeded 
Horse Beans) — For cover crop purposes 
they rank among the best as they give a 
very heavy tonnage of coarse green mate¬ 
rial which is desirable, especially in 
heavy or very light soils. Sow preferably 
in the fall, either drilled or broadcast. 
Forty pounds per acre dirlled. Lb. 25c. 10 
lbs. $1.50. 
BEANS, BROAD WINDSOR or FAVA —See

BUCKWHEAT, COMMON— Is earlier than 
the silver-hulled. Excellent for bee-pasture 
and valuable for a catch crop. Sow (after 
danger of frost) 36 pounds per acre in 
drills. Lb. 25c, 10 lbs. $2.00. 
CORN, EGYPTIAN —This also is one of 
the drought resisting non-saccharine crops.

heads and the seed is flat and pure white. 
Used extensively as chicken feed. Culture 
same as Milo Maize. Lb. 20c, 10 lbs. $1.75. 
ESPARCETTE, or SAINFOIN (onabrychis 
sativa) —-An excellent legume for growing 
on poor land and barren hills. When once 
established will last for years. Similar 
feeding value as alfalfa. Lb. 50c, 10 lbs. 
$4.00. 
in the spring, remains green until late in 
the autumn. It stands pasturing well and 
furnishes an abundance of grazing. A 
mixture of it with Red Clover, Alsike Co¬ 
ver and Orchard Grass is often grown and 
is a good one, as all these plants mature 
at the same time. Sow 40 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 50c, 10 lbs. $4.50. 
TIMOTHY (phleum pratense) —Will stand 
extreme cold and yields very heavily. 
Often sown with Red Top and Red Clover. 
Not recommended for pasture as there is 
very little growth after cutting, and tramp¬ 
ing of stock soon destroys it. Thrives best 
on loamy soils. Not adapted to dry soils.

lent food for stock and poultry. Also a 
good green fodder plant. Lb. 20c, 10 lbs. 
$1.75.
