X'L Clover Seed 
ALPHA SWEET CLOVER 
(Biennial) Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre 
Combines the best qualities of sweet clover and alfalfa. 
This new variety sends up many fine stems well loaded with 
branches and leaves instead of a few coarse stalks as do 
the older forms. If planted without a nurse crop, the Alpha 
will make a hay crop of high quality late the first season 
or it will furnish excellent pasture. In the second year the 
plant sends up from 30 to 50 stalks which is a marked con¬ 
trast to the older sweet clover which usually have from 
4 to 10 stalks. At the Moccasin dry land Experiment Station, 
Alpha outyielded both white blossom and yellow blossom 
clover. Please refer to price list. 
X-L YELLOW BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre 
Has a finer foliage and is more dwarf than the white 
blossom variety and probably makes a little better hay. It 
can also be pastured a little closer than the other varieties. 
Will grow on almost any kind of soil. Please refer to price 
list. 
X-L WHITE BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre 
It is one of the easiest of clovers to get started and out- 
yields any other variety for pasture purposes. Starts grow¬ 
ing early in the spring and stays green until late in the 
fall. Will make a good crop of roughage or hay under 
conditions which might cause an Alfalfa crop failure. Please 
refer to price list. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Sow 8 lbs. per acre 
Does especially well in the mountainous regions and 
where rainfall is more abundant than on plains and dry 
land. Use Alsike for low, heavy places where sour soil or 
water-logging kills alfalfa and sweet clover. Excellent to 
combine with timothy or red top for hay. Please refer to 
price list. 
X-L MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
X-L BROME GRASS 
Sow 15-25 lbs. per acre 
?j OI j e * s ? vigorous, hardy perennial grass that withstands 
cold, drought and water-logging. It is excellent for hay and 
pasture, but will cure better if used for hay if mixed with 
alfalfa. Please refer to price list. 
X-L ORCHARD GRASS 
20-25 lbs. per acre 
This grass is valuable for making permanent pastures and 
should be included in every combination sowing. Withstands 
cropping and cutting. Please refer to price list. 
X-L MEADOW FESCUE 
Sow 20 lbs. per acre 
This perennial grass is excellent for mixed pastures, as it 
will recover quickly from close grazing and cropping. Makes 
a good hay crop and is heavy yielding. Please refer to price 
list. 
X-L RED TOP 
Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre 
On land that is too wet for Timothy, Red Top is the best 
substitute for that grass. It will even thrive on land too wet 
for cultivation. A hardy perennial grass which grows from 
2 to 5 feet high. Makes good pasture and fair hay if cut 
early. Very palatable and relished by all forms of livestock. 
X-L TIMOTHY 
Sow from 8 to 12 lbs. per acre 
Timothy is the old standard hay and has been the most 
widely used for years. Timothy is the best hay for horses 
on heavy work, and there is no danger of giving the horse 
the scours. Timothy is cheap to plant, easily grown and of 
excellent quality. Thrives on clay and moist soils but not 
on poor light land. Timothy should not be sown alone for 
pasture, but together with other grasses such as Meadow 
Fescue and Red Top. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre broadcast 
Sow 10 lbs. to acre 
Widely used in the foothill and mountainous regions. Im¬ 
proves soil more and outyields every other clover with the 
possible exception of Alpha Sweet. Please refer to price list. 
Grasses 
X-L CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
Drilled, from 3 to 7 lbs. per acre; Broadcast, 12 lbs. per acre 
GROWS QUICKLY 
There is no other forage crop known that will resist drought 
like Sudan. It has been successfully grown on almost every 
kind of soil, from heavy clay to light sand. It is an annual 
and requires planting each season. In favorable seasons 
the growing period is long, and several cuttings can be 
obtained in one season. DO NOT SOW SUDAN GRASS 
BEFORE CORN PLANTING TIME. Like corn, it is a warm 
weather crop. It is an enormous yielder of excellent hay 
that is relished by all forms of livestock. The leaves are 
retained well and if cut at the right stage will make a 
bright, leafy, sweet hay, of the very best quality. 
Now recommended by all agricultural agencies as the best 
drought resistant hay grass and for range rebuilding on dry 
land areas. Montana circular No. 79 states, "Crested Wheat- 
grass should be planted on every farm and ranch unit in 
Montana. It may be used for lawn, pasture, hay and seed. 
It is useful for any size unit." 
X-L Brand Crested Wheat assures clean, plump, high ger¬ 
minating seed free of stalks, weeds and "clusters." (These 
clusters are light seed and practically worthless.) YOU 
CANNOT AFFORD INFERIOR SEED TO SAVE A FEW CENTS.
