FIELD SEEDS 
Red Top (Agrostis alba). A valuable grass for most soils. It 
is a good, permanent grass. It should be grazed close. It has 
been grown successfully on “alkali” bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. 
of clean seed to the 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. 
From 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 
Crested Wheat Grass. This is the valuable plant for our West¬ 
ern country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. It is re¬ 
lated to the famous bunch grass of the west. It is one of the 
best and surest hay grasses for these sections. It produces 
good crops of hay and makes excellent permanent pasture. 
It withstands drought and the cold winters. As a mixture it 
does fine with Brome grass. 10 to 15 pounds of seed is usually 
sown to the 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. 
MILLETS 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec¬ 
tions. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
German or Golden (Chactochloa italica). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 30 
to 40 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and poultry. Also a good green fodder and hay plant. 
Hog or Puoso. The seed is large. Feeding value almost equal 
to corn. The name “hog millet” is used to emphasize the use 
for which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs and 
cattle as well as for birds and poultry. Both German and Hog 
millet are often used as catch crops where other crops fail in 
irrigated or humid sections. 
OATS 
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre. 
Victory. This oat originated a number of years ago in Sweden, 
and since its introduction in this country has become more 
popular each year. It is similar to Swedish Select in season. 
Grain of medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly 
beardless. A heavy yielder. The straw is very stiff and firm. 
Swedish Select. Kernel is white, large and plump, hull thin, 
and straw is stiff and strong. Does not lodge. A remarkable 
root development makes the Swedish Select oat a good 
drought-resister, and especially suited to high land. It is the 
earliest of the heavy yielding sorts. 
Gray Winter Oats. Usually hardy. Seeded in winter, fall or 
early winter. May be sown in the spring for hay in coast sec¬ 
tions. 
FIELD PEAS 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas under 
many conditions will outyield vetches. The vines and pods are 
almost as large and heavy as garden peas. The vines are rel¬ 
ished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Will not winter-kill. Does well under irrigation, and in rela¬ 
tively humid sections. Very hardy. Grown extensively for seed 
and cover crop. Sow 30 to 35 pounds per acre. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas produce excellent 
forage. May be used for summer green manure crop. Requires 
considerable moisture. Sow 120 to 150 pounds per acre. 
RYE 
Sow 85 to 115 pounds per acre. 
Spring Rye makes a successful growth in rather poor soils 
where other grains would fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop 
for the purpose of eradicating wild oats. Makes early pasture 
and may be cut and cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing. 
Rosen or Petkuser Rye. A Winter Rye of recent introduction 
and is becoming very popular among growers of Winter Rye. 
It is said to yield more grain, stools more, and is hardier than 
the older types of Winter Rye. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas¬ 
turage for sheep, cattle, and hogs. It also makes splendid 
green feed for poultry. Plant 10 lbs. per acre, in early spring. 
Develops rapidly and is often ready to pasture in 6 to 8 
weeks after seeding. Requires fertile, moist soil. 
SOYBEANS 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow on the warmer more fertile soils, are 
excellent as a summer catch crop and splendid soil builders. 
Soybeans hay is one of the best roughages and when mixed 
with corn they make splendid ensilage. When harvested for 
seed, they should not be cut until pods are fully matured and 
the beans hard. 
VETCH 
Sow 40 to 60 pounds per acre. 
Common Vetch. Resembles peas and valuable for forage and 
green manure. As a hay crop it is generally sown with oats or 
wheat to afford support for the vines. Usually sown in the 
fall. Best adapted to sections west of Cascade Mountains. 
Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on sandy soils that may 
be somewhat low in fertility, and makes a better growth dur¬ 
ing the cold season than the other varieties. Has very wide 
adaptability. 
Hungarian. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Resistant to aphid 
attacks. 
WHEAT 
Sow 75 to 90 pounds per acre. 
Marquis Spring Wheat is the standard, hard, red, spring 
wheat for irrigated sections of the West. It is early maturing 
and high yielding. Is beardless, short, stiff strawed. We will 
be able to supply both registered and non-registered seed. 
Turkey Red Winter Wheat. A standard red bearded wheat 
with a strong straw. It is early ripening. Kernels are large, 
red and hard. It is in good demand by millers. 
Thompson Club or White Russian Wheat. The most widely 
used Spring wheat planted in the irrigated districts of Eastern 
Washington and Oregon. It is a beardless, soft white variety 
which outyields all other common varieties. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. Heavy producer of forage and seed. Of 
value for silage and seed production. Plant 10 pounds per acre.
