BROMUS INERMUS 
Brome Grass 
A very hardy drouth resisting grass. Yields 
heavy crops and makes abundance of pasture. 
We particularly recommend Brome Grass to be 
sown on high dry lands. It will withstand drouth 
better than any grass we know of. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds per acre broadcast. Can be sown at any 
time of year, but perhaps the best time is in 
early spring.

ORCHARD 
GRASS 
A valuable grass 
for pasture or hay, 
fine for mixing 
with alfalfa, mak¬ 
ing high quality 
mixed hay. On ac¬ 
count of its earli¬ 
ness it is very valu¬ 
able as a permanent 
pasture. When 
closely cropped it 
grows up again very 
quickly. Withstands 
drouth and is very 
hardy. This is a 
particularly v a 1 u- 
able grass for the 
west and we rec- 
commend it in 
every pasture mix¬ 
ture. Sow not less 
than 20 lbs. to the 
acre.

ENGLISH OR 
PERENNIAL 
RYE GRASS 
This is one of the 
very finest pasture 
grasses. Used very 
extensively in the 
British Isles. The name Rye would indicate a 
tall, coarse grass, but the contrary is true. Per¬ 
ennial Rye is a low, close growing grass of very 
fine quality. The name comes from a resem¬ 
blance of the seed head to that of Rye. We 
recommend Perennial Rye Grass in all formulas 
for irrigated lands. This is not a hay grass, but 
a heavy producing pasture grass. Write for prices. 
Orchard Grass 
RED TOP 
A valuable grass for moist, rich soils where it 
thrives to best advantage. It should be fed close; 
if allowed to grow up to seed cattle dislike it. 
On good soil grows about two feet tall. A good 
grass to sow in connection with other grasses. If 
land is low and moist, try Red Top. Sow about 
10 pounds per acre of hulled seeds. We strongly 
recommend a mixture of Red Top and Alsike 
Clover for water-logged lands or low places.

CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
This hardy, perennial, drouth resisting grass 
has made a very remarkable showing, where many 
other varieties have failed under dry, arid con¬ 
ditions. 
It withstands drouth and the cold winters and 
is the first to become green in the spring and the 
last to dry out in the fall. It is one of the best 
grasses for pasture or hay in the semi-arid sec¬ 
tions. Sow 10 pounds per acre for pasture or hay.

Pasture Mixtures for 
Irrigated Lands 
We do not offer prepared mixtures for pastures, 
preferring to let our customers buy the grasses 
separately and do their own mixing. In this way 
the customer knows what he is buying and 
sowing. 
We recommend the following as the mixture 
best adapted to irrigated lands; 
2 pounds Kentucky Blue Grass 
6 pounds Meadow Fescue 
6 pounds Orchard Grass 
6 pounds Oregon Rye Grass 
5 pounds Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
25 pounds per acre. 
Write for prices. 
TEMPORARY PASTURE MIXTURE 
For a quick and temporary pasture mixture 
sow: 
15 pounds Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
10 pounds Oregon Rye Grass 
25 pounds to the acre. 
If sown in early spring, without nurse crop and 
watered freely, this formula should make a heavy 
pasture in 8 to 10 weeks. 
Write for prices. 
SHORT MOISTURE PASTURE FORMULA 
In locations where rainfall or sub-moisture is 
depended on, it is important to use the right 
kind of grasses best adapted to such locations 
that will produce pasture and hay profitably. We 
recommend strongly the following mixtures for 
such locations: 
5 lbs. Crested Wheat Grass 
5 lbs. Brome Grass 
2 lbs. Kentucky Blue Grass 
5 lbs. Sweet Clover, white or yellow 
Sow 17 pounds per acre as above. This mixture 
can be sown on the snow in early spring or in 
the fall just before the rainy season sets in.
