FIELD CRASS SEEDS 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. Here's a grass that no amount of 
drought can kill out. If you have real dry land in which you 
have been unsuccessful in getting a profitable stand of grass 
or hay, plant Crested Wheat Grass. A little preparation of the 
soil and the sowing of 15 pounds per acre of this dryland 
grass will solve the problem presented to you each year by 
that dry land. Crested Wheat Grass makes a palatable hay, 
produces well and will not kill out. In spite of the severe 
droughts in the middle west. Crested Wheat Grass has held 
its own, producing feed where all other grasses failed. The 
crop of seed is extremely short this year and our supply quite 
limited, so order early. This grass is the first to start in the 
spring and the first to spring to life when fall rains come. It 
stands the severest cold weather and best of all, the hottest 
and driest summer weather. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.00, post¬ 
paid. 
RED TOP (Herds Grass). Sow 1 2 to 15 pounds per acre. This is 
one of the most valuable and satisfactory grasses in all locali¬ 
ties. Thrives on low ground, where water stands late in the 
season. Red Top should be included in all mixtures intended 
for permanent pastures or hay. It makes excellent pasturage 
and is ideal for hay. When well established it spreads and 
will supplant other grasses. Fine for hillsides, will prevent 
erosion. Matures at the same time as Meadow Fescue, Orchard 
Grass, Tall Oats Grass and Timothy. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25, 
postpaid. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Evergreen Grass). This grass 
seems to make more leafage and grazing, a larger yield of hay 
and to keep green longer, both during the winter and summer, 
than most grasses. It is especially adapted to heavy soils. It 
withstands heat and drought and the cold of winter; starts 
very early in the spring and continues late in the fall. For hay 
it can be cut twice in a season, frequently producing doubly 
as much hay as timothy. Ripens at the same time as Orchard 
Grass and Red or Alsike Clover. Thrives on uplands but gives 
excellent results on nearly all soils and better than most 
grasses on light and sandy soils. When sown alone, sow 25 
to 30 pounds to the acre either in spring or fall. Lb. 50c; 
10 lbs. $4.50, postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
There is no better grass for permanent pasture than Kentucky 
Blue Grass. It is nutritious, palatable and a heavy producer. 
Except in very light soils it should be included in every mix¬ 
ture. Very hardy, spreads freely, produces abundantly, with¬ 
stands drought and cannot be tramped out. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. 
$3.50, postpaid. 
WINTER BLUE GRASS (Poa Bulbosa). "The Grass That Grows 
When Other Grasses Sleep." Poa Bulbosa reverses the normal 
order of growth and produces winter grass while other crops 
are dormant. It is a perennial and distantly related to Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass. Cattle eat Poa Bulbosa readily and greatly 
relish this grass either in the green stage or as dry pasture. 
Poa Bulbosa can be winter pastured and toward spring the 
cattle removed to permit the grass to grow to full develop¬ 
ment when it can be either dry pastured or cut for hay. It 
supplies winter grazing when all other grasses are dormant. 
Will not become a pest. Requires no further seeding when 
once established. Plant in the fall or early winter, seeding 
at the rate of 25 pounds per acre. Poa Bulbosa can be com¬ 
bined with alfalfa resulting in two crops from the same piece 
of ground; hay crops in the summer and pasture during the 
winter. Postpaid, small lot price, 40c lb. Write for quantity 
prices. 
OREGON RYE GRASS. A rapid grower, very winter hardy, leaves 
and stems medium fine, stools heavily, has a bright green 
color. Excellent for pasture or for hay. Plant with Ladino 
Clover to prevent bloating. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Lb. 20c; 
10 lbs. $1.50, postpaid. 
BROME GRASS. Will stand drought and produce heavy crops in 
dry sections and on poor soils where other grasses perish. It is 
one of the hardiest growers and succeeds on our dry hillsides. 
Sow 35 pounds per acre. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50, postpaid. 
TIMOTHY, the Most Extensively Grown Hay Grass. Sow 12 to 
15 pounds per acre. For hay, timothy is the best known and 
most extensively grown of all grasses. A stand is easily estab¬ 
lished, it is inexpensive to sow, it starts quickly and yields its

best crop the year after it is sown, but the following year's 
crop may be equally as heavy if liberally top-dressed with 
manure. The yield on good land frequently runs from 1 Vi to 
3 tons per acre. Meadow Fescue or Kentucky Blue Grass, Red 
Top or Herds Grass and Ladino Clover all mature at the same 
time as Timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it for hay 
and pasture. A good mixture is 6 pounds Timothy, 5 pounds 
Red Top, 7 pounds Meadow Fescue and 4 pounds Ladino 
Clover. Sow this mixture at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. 
Per lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.25, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
ORCHARD GRASS. The greatest pasture and hay grass. A very 
vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and nutri¬ 
tious hay, as well as having special value as a pasture grass, 
furnishing good grazing from early spring till winter. It 
adapts itself to a variety of soils, provided they are well 
drained, but succeeds best on loamy uplands or moderately 
stiff soils, although it does quite well on soils that are in¬ 
clined to be sandy. A mixture of 1 5 pounds of Orchard Grass, 
12 pounds of Tall Meadow Oat Grass and 8 pounds of Red 
or Alsike Clover has proved very satisfactory, is recommended 
for hay and pasture. When sown alone, plant 30 to 35 
pounds per acre. In a mixture as above, sow 20 pounds per 
acre. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00, postpaid. Write for quantity 
prices. 
SUDAN GRASS. A wonderful quick-growing Summer Hay Grass. 
An annual with short fibrous roots that are killed by frost. 
Because of this characteristic, Sudan Grass will never become 
a pest as will Johnson Grass. Its greatest value is for hay, 
which is well liked by stock—the entire plant, leaves, stems 
and heads, is eaten. Sow 5 to 6 pounds to the acre in 2-foot 
rows; 20 to 25 pounds broadcast. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 
5 lbs. 85c. Write for quantity prices. 
ENGLISH RYE GRASS (Perennial). A quick grower and excel¬ 
lent for pasture or hay. Unlike Oregon Rye Grass, English 
Rye is a perennial which persists for years. It is a heavy 
yielder and of excellent quality as hay. English Rye Grass 
should be used in every pasture or meadow mixture. Post¬ 
paid, small lot price, lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. Write for 
quantity price. 
SUPERIOR REED CANARY GRASS. This grass is a selection 
made at Oregon Experiment Station from the common low¬ 
land type of Reed Canary Grass. It yields heavy forage crops 
on higher, better drained soils that get quite dry during sum¬ 
mer months. It is perennial, is winter hardy. Starts early in 
the spring, has excellent seed producing habits. High palata- 
bility and nutritive values and matures uniformly for hay and 
seed. Postpaid, small lot price, $1.00 per pound. Write for 
quantity price. 
VETCHES AND PEAS 
COMMON VETCH. This is the blue blossom vetch in greater 
demand for hay crops. Produces well of nutritious hay and 
outyields most vetch varieties. Write for prices. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas will out- 
yield vetches 2 to 1. The vines, like all legumes are relished 
by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. Will 
not winter-kill. Postpaid prices: Lb. 20c; 10 lbs. $1.75.
