FIELD SEEDS Compefifrive Prices 
ALFALFA 
Sow 12 to 15 lbs per acre. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. State Sealed and Certified Seed. Grimm 
Alfalfa is a very hardy and consistent producer, and is 
recommended for all sections where alfalfa is considered 
to have a place. Highest grade seed. 
LADAK ALFALFA. A variety ideally adapted to dry soils 
which cannot successfully grow the more common varie¬ 
ties. Will produce one heavy crop, and in case the mois¬ 
ture is not sufficient to continue its growth, will survive 
through the season, to come again after winter rains have 
revived it. Strongly resistant to freezing. Also gives good 
results under irrigation in the Northwest. 
COMMON or CHILEAN ALFALFA. Universally grown pop¬ 
ular long-rooted variety. Best adapted to deep soils. 
BARLEY 
Sow 120 to 150 lbs per acre. 
SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY. Spring. Straw about height 
of common barley. Sfands up better than other varieties. 
Contains 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 barley adapted to irrigated conditions. Though it is 
rough awned the awns thresh free from the grain, thus 
eliminating danger in feeding. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow 50 to 60 lbs. 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. American grown seed. 6 to 10 lbs per acre. 
HUBAM ANNUAL SWEET CLOVER. Hubam Clover has 
come rapidly to the front as an emergency pasture and 
hay crop. Hubam is an annual legume. It is best suited for 
the corn belt section, grows from 3 to 7 feet high. 
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. Medium heavy types 
of soil. Sow 4 to 6 lbs. per acre. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifolium repens). A very hardy 
creeping clover, which adapts itself to a great variety of 
soils and climates. Superior for pasfure either for sheep or 
cattle. As a bee pasture it is unexcelled. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. 
per acre. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER, BIENNIAL (Melilotus officin¬ 
alis). In great demand on account of its earliness, being 
about two weeks earlier than the white. Produces high 
quality hay. Sow 1 2 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
WHITE SWEET OR BOKHARA CLOVER, BIENNIAL (Melilo¬ 
tus Alba). Excellent for pasture, hay and a soil improver. 
More drouth-resistant than alfalfa and will generally pro¬ 
duce a large crop of seed and hay the second year. Thrives 
on light alkali soil. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). Is excellent for pasture 
and hay purposes. Will thrive in slightly wetter and more 
acid land than alfalfa. Is used in the higher altitudes and 
colder sections. Sow 6 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
ALSIKE (Trifolium hybridum). Very hardy, adapted for 
sowing on cold, wet land. It yields a large amount of hay 
or pasture and is a good bee plant. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER. Undoubtedly one of the most 
satisfactory of recently developed legumes. Resembles 
White Dutch Clover but spreads faster and lives longer. 
Has vigorous surface creepers and develops a very dense 
sod. Primarily valuable for pasturing either cattle or sheep. 
Does very well in many soils and exceptionally satisfac¬ 
tory for coastal lands. However, it is of little value in 
extreme dry condition. Free from insect and disease at¬ 
tacks. When seeding, 3 pounds per acre is ample. If in a 
mixture, 1 Vz pounds is recommended. 
FIELD CORN 
See Vegetable Seed, page 6. 
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. Sow 
42 lbs. 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 lbs. per acre. Spring or fall. 
MEADOW FESCUE (Festuca pratensis). This is a very valu¬ 
able species for permanent grass lands and is relished by 
livestock both as hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre on well prepared soil. 
MESQUITE (Holcus lanatus). Used on burned over, virgin 
soils. No cultivation is necessary. Sow 15 lbs. 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. Sow 20 to 30 lbs. 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. 
Sow 20 to 28 lbs. per acre. 
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. Sow 25 to 30 
lbs. per acre. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS ( Lolium multiflorum). A quick grow¬ 
ing grass, attaining a height of 2 V 2 fo 4 ft., desirable for 
temporary meadows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that 
are slightly moist, and will even stand considerable over¬ 
flow. Sow 25 lbs. per acre. 
OREGON RYE GRASS. Similar to Italian. The finest rye 
grass grown; superior to imported. Sow 25 lbs. 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 lbs. per acre. 
PASTURE MIXTURE FOR BURNED-OVER LAND. A blend 
of grasses for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splen¬ 
did value and very economical for such purposes. Sow 10 
lbs. per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS. An excellent annual drouth resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. Seed in spring after soil is warm. 
Sow 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
RED TOP (Agrostis alba). A valuable grass for most soils. 
It is a good, permanent grass. It should be grazed close. 
Grows successfully on "alkali" bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per 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. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. This is the valuable plant for 
our Western country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. 
It is one of the best and surest hay grasses for these sec¬ 
tions. It withstands drought and the cold winters. As a 
mixture it does fine with Brome grass. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. 
per acre. 
SUPERIOR REED CANARY GRASS. A hardy perennial 
grass which succeeds in spite of long summer dry periods. 
It differs from the lowland type or regular Reed Canary 
Grass in that the growth is more upright, leaves more 
numerous and of a lighter green color. Its stems are 
upright and comparatively stiff but not harsh. Primarily 
a pasture grass with a long life, long grazing season and 
produces a large quantity of very succulent, palatable 
forage. Sow 5 to 12 pounds per acre broadcast.
