FIELD SEEDS 
ALFALFA 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Grimm Alfalfa. State Sealed and Certified Seed. Grimm 
Alfalfa is a very hardy and consistent producer, and is recom¬ 
mended for all Northwest 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 varieties. Will 
produce one heavy crop, and in case the moisture is not suffi¬ 
cient 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. Resistant to bacterial wilt disease. 
Common or Chilean Alfalfa. Universally grown popular long- 
rooted variety. Best adapted to deep soils. 
BARLEY 
Sow 120 to 150 pounds per acre. 
Success Beardless Barley. Spring. Straw about height of 
common barley. Stands up better than other varieties. Con¬ 
tains 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 bar¬ 
ley adapted to irrigated conditions. Though it is a rough awned 
variety it has the advantage over coast barley in that the awns 
thresh free from the grain, thus eliminating considerable 
danger in feeding. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow 50 to 60 pounds 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, for which 
purpose it is very valuable. American grown seed. Sow 6 to 
10 pounds per acre. 
Hubam Annual Sweet Clover. Hubam Clover has come rap¬ 
idly to the front as an emergency pasture and hay crop. 
Hubam is an annual legume, the seed of which resembles 
that of White Blossom Sweet Clover. It is best suited for the 
corn belt section, grows from 3 to 7 feet high, depending upon 
soil and climatic conditions. 
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. Makes especially vigorous growth on the lower, 
medium heavy types of soil. Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
White Dutch Clover (Trifolium repens). A very hardy creeping 
clover, which adapts itself to a great variety of soils and cli¬ 
mates, being found in every state in the Union. Superior for 
pasture either for sheep or cattle. As a bee pasture it is un¬ 
excelled. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
Yellow Sweet Clover, Biennial (Melilotus officinalis). In great 
demand on account of its earliness, being about two weeks 
earlier than the white. Does not grow as tall as white, finer 
stemmed, and makes just as good pasturage. Produces high 
quality hay. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
White Sweet or Bokhara Clover, Biennial (Melilotus Alba). 
Excellent for pasture, hay and a soil improver. More drouth- 
resistant than alfalfa and will generally produce a large crop 
of seed and hay the second year. Thrives on light alkali soil. 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Red Clover (Trifolium pratense). Is excellent for pasture and 
hay purposes and is used very extensively throughout the 
country. Will thrive in slightly wetter and more acid land 
than alfalfa. We therefore recommend its use in the higher 
altitudes and colder sections. Sow 6 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Alsike (Trifolium hybridum). Very hardy, adapted for sowing 
on cold, wet land. Planted at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per 
acre. It yields a large amount of hay or pasture and is a good 
bee plant. Write for quantity prices. 
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 satisfactory for coastal lands. How¬ 
ever, it is of little value in extreme dry conditions. Free from 
insect and disease attacks. When seeding, 3 pounds per acre 
is ample. If in a mixture, 1% pounds is recommended. 
FIELD CORN 
See Vegetable Seed, page 23. 
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, and is the most desirable 
crop to follow on native sod. Sow 42 pounds 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 
pounds per acre. Spring or fall. 
Meadow Fescue (Festuca pratensis). This is a very valuable 
species for permanent grass lands and is relished by livestock 
both as hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre on well 
prepared soil. 
Mesquite (Holcus lamatus). Used on burned over, virgin soils. 
No cultivation is necessary. Plant at the rate of 15 pounds 
per acre. Sow 15 pounds 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. Pasture 20 to 30 pounds 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. Seed should be 
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 28 pounds per acre on well pre¬ 
pared soil. 
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. Pasture, 25 to 30 pounds 
per acre. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum). A quick growing 
grass, attaining a height of 2% to 4 ft., desirable for temporary 
meadows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that are slightly 
moist, and will even stand considerable overflow. Grows easily 
and produces an abundance of excellent forage either as hay 
or pasture. Sow 25 pounds per acre. 
Oregon Rye Grass. Similar to Italian. The finest rye grass 
grown; superior to imported. Pasture, 25 pounds 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 pounds per acre. 
Pasture Mixture for Burned-over Land. A blend of grasses 
for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splendid value and 
very economical for such purposes. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Sudan Grass, An excellent annual drouth resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. Seed in spring after soil is warm 
at 20 to 30 pounds per acre.
