Alfalfa 
PLANT PARAMOUNT BRAND ALFALFA SEED 
For those who want the best, we heartily recommend Para¬ 
mount Brand Chilean Alfalfa seed. It is high in purity and 
germination and free of noxious weed seeds. It is especially 
adapted to conditions in Northern California and the thousands 
of acres that have been planted to Paramount Brand seed are a 
testimonial to its popularity. You cannot go wrong with Para¬ 
mount Brand. Remember we can furnish it in any quantity. 
Drop into either of our stores or write for the latest current 
prices. Please state quantity interested in. Per lb. 30c; 10 lbs. 
$3.00. 
HAIRY PERUVIAN 
This variety enjoyed great popularity a few years ago. The 
stems are coarser than the Chilean, but it usually produces 
one more cutting. Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $3.00. Write for prices on 
larger quantities. 
Miscellaneous Grasses 
PARAMOUNT No. 23 SUDAN 
A few years ago the Division of Agronomy developed a new 
strain of Sudan that is far superior to the old strains. They 
named it No. 23 and it is rapidly succeeding the old strain. The 
leaves are finer, stalks are finer and sorghum crosses have 
been eliminated. Tests conducted have shown that it will yield 
a ton and a quarter more to the acre than the old variety. 
The small difference in the costs of the seed is more than 
offset in the crop production. Good for both pasture and hay.

SUDAN 
GRASS 
AWNLESS BROME GRASS 
(Bromus Inermis.) Is unexcelled as a pasture grass under 
conditions of drought, as it will withstand drought that will 
kill all other grasses. Plant 20 pounds to the acre. Price per 
lb. 60c; 10 lbs. $5.00. 
BERMUDA GRASS 
(Cynodon Dactylon.) This grass will stand the hottest and 
driest weather. Also it does well in any soil that is not too 
wet, and recovers quickly when grazed down. It is a very 
vigorous grower and is practically impossible to eradicate 
when once established. Sow on well prepared seed bed keep¬ 
ing the surface of the soil moist until the seed has germinated. 
Plant only in hot weather, as seed will not germinate in cool 
temperatures. Price per lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
From its character and adaptations it is the most promising 
grass now available for pasture in the dry sections of our 
state and when cut at the proper stage the hay is of excellent 
quality. Like other crops, best yields are usually obtained on 
the fertile black soils, although it does well on sandy areas in 
the Northwest. We anticipate the seed will be much lower in 
price in a few years, as it is a heavy seed producer. Try it out 
on your soil in a limited way, seeding 10 to 15 lbs. per acre, 
seeded in rows 6 inches apart with grain drill. Per lb. 90c; 
10 lbs. $8.50, postpaid. 
ORCHARD 
Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata). This grass does well sown 
either with or without other grasses. It is frequently sown in 
such pasture mixtures as white clover, red clover and rye 
grass. If sown alone, 25 or 30 lbs. of the Cocksfoot seed will 
insure a good stand of grass. Per lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00.
