Crimson or Scarlet Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum). Highly 
recommended for pasture and fertilizing purposes. A thrifty 
annual. Germinates quickly, grows rapidly, stools abundantly. 
Alsike (Trifolium Hybridum). Vei-y 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. 
GRASSES 
Broiiius 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 2i/^ 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 tough 
sod. Blue Grass requires two years to get well started and for 
that reason is often sown in mixture with other grasses. Prom 
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 23) 
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 Broomcom. 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. 
EARLY AMBER CANE 
(8 to 10 lbs. per acre). 
The most common variety of forage Sorghum grown. Plant 
late in the spring, the crop requires warm weather and is 
drought-resistant. Should be planted in rows and cultivated 
like corn. During past few years some publicity has been 
given to its cultivation for sorghum syrup and it is increasing 
in popularity for that purpose. 
OATS 
75 to 100 lbs. per acre. 
V'ictoi'y. This oat originated a number of years ago in Sweden, 
and since its introduction in this country has become more 
popular each year. It is similar to Swedish Select in season. 
Grain of medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly 
beardless. A heavy yielder. The straw is very stiff and firm. 
Gray Winter Oats. Used as fall or winter. May be sown in 
the spring for hay in coast sections. 
White Side or Tree Oats, is a white side oat adapted to Irri¬ 
gated land. This variety is noted for its abundant yield or 
forage. 
FIELD PEAS 
100 lbs. per acre, or 80 lbs. with 35 lbs. oats. 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas will out- 
yield vetches 2 to 1. The vines and pods are almost as large 
and heavy as garden peas. The vines, like all legumes, are 
relished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas may be planted 
in cold weather and furnish a most valuable cover crop. 
RAPE 
3 lbs. per acre drill—5 lbs per acre broadcast. 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas¬ 
turage for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutri¬ 
tious pasturage within six or eight weeks from the time of 
sowing. It also makes splendid green feed for poultry. 
RYE 
70 to 100 lbs. per acre. 
Spring Rye is an excellent soiler and can be produced on poor, 
worn out land under dry conditions where other grains would 
fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradi¬ 
cating wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut and 
cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing, thus making it a 
biennial. 
SOYBEANS 
35 to 50 lbs. per acre. 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow, are excellent as a summer catch 
crop and splendid soil builders. Soybean hay is one of the best 
roughages and when mixed with corn they make splendid 
ensilage. When harvested for seed, they should not be cut 
until pods are fully matured and the beans hard. Plant in 
rows. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. Makes heads double the size of the com¬ 
mon kind. The yield is enormous from this variety. It has 
produced as high as 125 bushels to the acre. Plant 10 lbs per 
acre. 
VETCH 
Common Vetch. A vine resembling peas and valuable for 
forage and green manure. As a hay crop it is generally sown 
with oats or wheat to afford support for the vines. Usually 
sown in the fall for cover crops and turned under in the spring. 
80 lbs. or 60 lbs. with 40 lbs. of oats. 
Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on poor, arid, sandy soils, 
and makes a better growth during the cold season than the 
others. 30 lbs. per acre. 
Hungarian. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Very resistant to 
aphid attacks. 
POTATOES 
We offer a few varieties of special merit that we recom¬ 
mend. We think it is folly to plant ordinary or common 
stock. Many gardeners insist on the best vegetable seeds, 
then plant any old kind of potatoes. Get a start of some of 
our select seed stock and you will be more than pleased with 
the results.
