ALFALFA 
One of the secrets of getting a good stand 
of Alfalfa lays in the preparation of the 
seed bed. It should be plowed or double 
disked, and then harrowed several times 
to get a firm seed bed. If the seed is 
sown broadcast best results are obtained 
by rolling, and if no roller is available 
I recommend a light harrowing. Can 
also be drilled about M>-inch deep. Sow 
early in the spring; 15 pounds per acre 
with drill, up to 20 pounds broadcast. 
The quality of the seed will always be 
of primary importance; on any cheap or 
second grade seed you are apt to get 
bindweeds started. My seed comes from 
upland, it is hardy, and pure. I handle 
no second grade in any kind of seed. 
3 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
SWEET CLOVER 
Can be sown earlier than Alfalfa, sowing 
and preparation of the seed bed same as 
for Alfalfa. Use only scarified seed to 
assure you of a 100% stand. White or 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover, your 
choice, scarified seed, 3 lbs., 60c, postpaid. 
RED CLOVER 
I recommend it for Eastern Nebraska, 
Iowa and from there east. Makes an 
excellent hay crop under normal condi¬ 
tions. Also good for seeding in the bare 
spots in Alfalfa where it keeps weeds 
down, and makes good hay. Sow 7 to 10 
lbs. per acre. Price: 3 lbs., $1.25, post¬ 
paid. 
BROMUS INERMIS 
This grass came through the extreme 
drought of recent years in better shape 
than any other grass, and just as good as 
our old original Prairie Grass. It will 
make more pasture or hay than any other 
grass except Crested Wheat Grass. A 
native of the Dakotas and Canada where 
it never winter-kills. In dry summers 
pasturing too close has killed out more 
pastures than the drought itself. Prepare 
the ground in the spring just as early as 
it can be worked (February or March), 
prepare it the same as for Alfalfa, sow 
15 lbs. per acre, with 2 to 3 lbs. of Alfalfa 
seed. After seeding the ground should be 
rolled. My Northern Bromus can also be 
seeded with a wheat drill. Any further 
information on request, kindly write. 
3 lbs., 90c, postpaid. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
Without a doubt the hardiest all around 
grass we have. It has by far the strong¬ 
est rooting system of all grasses. A 
Canadian Agricultural College states; 
“One plant of Crested Wheat Grass in 
two years time made over 200 miles of 
roots.” That is a lot of roots for one 
plant. If there is any moisture in the 
ground anywhere that many roots should 
find it. Makes excellent pasture, and a 
big yielder of fine quality hay. Seed can 
be drilled in rows 2 ft. apart, so that 
cultivation is possible, and in a few years 
you will have a spotless, perfect sod. 
3-4 lbs. per acre. Price: 75c per pound, 
postpaid. 
SAND DROP SEED 
This is a native prairie grass here in the 
Middle West. It does well on upland and 
in dry sections of the country. It makes 
excellent pasture and does not kill out 
over winter. The seed is very fine and 
does not need covering if seeded in Feb¬ 
ruary or early March. Sow 5 to 8 pounds 
per acre. Price: 45c per lb.; 3 lbs., $1.25; 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 32c per lb. 
NATIVE RYE GRASS 
Makes a very good early pasture, but 
most of it goes to seed in August. With 
us here and in the North it is considered 
an annual grass, as it does not stand our 
winters very well. 3 lbs., 60c, postpaid. 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS 
Sow 25 to 35 lbs. per acre. Especially for 
low ground where it makes an excellent 
pasture, and good hay. Of course, where 
the water will stand longer than a day at 
n time it would not succeed. 3 lbs., 50c, 
postpaid. 
FARM AND 
Upland Grown Seeds of 
Perfect Germination 
As this book goes to press in November prices on Field Seeds are uncertain. 
They cannot be quoted for several months ahead of time. I want to sell you 
first class seed at the lowest possible price, and for that reason I invite you to 
drop me a card, stating variety and quantity you will need, and I shall make 
you my best offer, with samples, freight quotation, and any information you 
may wish. 
TIMOTHY 
An old variety of grass that is used quite 
extensively for pasture and for hay, and 
is often sown with Red Clover. For a 
pure sowing use from 11 to 15 lbs. per 
acre. 3 lbs., 50c, postpaid. 
SUDAN GRASS 
This is a hot weather plant, and does 
best if planted right after corn planting 
time. It makes good pasture and good 
hay, due to its rapid growth it produces 
enormous quantities of feed. Caution: 
Use only pure Sudan seed, if you want 
to use it for pasture. There have been 
losses of cattle due to poisoning, and in 
practically every instance it was possible 
to prove' that the Sudan was not pure, 
having contained cane seed. If you want 
it for hay sow June 1 and cut just before 
or right after a frost in the fall, same as 
Cane. It is almost impossible to get two 
good hay crops in one season. Sow 15 to 
25 lbs. per acre. Price: 3 lbs., 35c, post¬ 
paid.

for seed. Price: 3 lbs., 35c, postpaid.

sirabe for late sowing. Price: 3 lbs., 35c,

BARLEY 
Comfort or Smoothbearded 
Has become very popular the past few 
years. It is early, and yields more here
