ROHRER’S GRASS SEEDS ARE DEPENDABLE 
Sweet Clover 
White Sweet Clover 
Resembles alfalfa, both in appearance and habit of 
growth when young but grows larger than alfalfa. 
When properly handled Sweet Clover is a valuable 
addition to the farm crops in many sections. It is 
elTicient as a soil renovator, by reason of the large 
amount of nitrogen it will 
be able to take from the air, 
as well as humus added to 
the soil when turned under 
for the decay of the roots 
when it is harvested. No 
other forage or soiling crop 
has ever come into such 
favor as White Sweet Clover. If it had no other prop¬ 
erty than its ability to inoculate soil for alfalfa, it would 
be a worthwhile investment, but in addition to this it 
is one of the best forage plants, possessing all the feeding 
qualities of alfalfa. As a soil-builder, either for naturally 
poor soils or those that have been exhausted, no other 
plant can take its place. Analysis and feeding experi¬ 
ments indicate that it is nearly equal to alfalfa in feed¬ 
ing-value. There is nothing better to bring your worn- 
out land into farmable condition. To get full value out 
of your Sweet Clover, inoculate with Legume-Aid. See 
Price-List. 
Yellow Sweet Clover 
This is a biennial and does not grow quite as tall as 
the White Sweet Clover. More desirable for pasture or 
hay. Life-season longer and produces abundant pas¬ 
turage. See Price-List. 
Grundy Sweet Clover 
This strain is now becoming popular in the East. 
It is biennial and has white blossoms. Does not grov/ 
as tall as the regular strain of White Sweet Clover. Is 
about two weeks earlier and makes finer hay. See 
Price-List. 
Red-Top 
This is a valuable grass for either hay or pasture. It 
ranks second to timothy in production of hay and 
makes excellent pasture and good crops of fine hay. It 
Red-Top, continued 
is valuable for seeding alone or to seed along with 
timothy, clover and other grasses. Can be sown in 
spring or fall. It succeeds better and is adapted to a 
wider range of soils than any other grasses. It is hardy 
and will make a heavy sod, and it should be a large 
constituent part of all mixtures intended for permanent 
pasture. If sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds of hulled or 
solid seed. We handle the solid seed and do not recom¬ 
mend sowing the unhulled seed. See Price-List. 
Rohrer*s Fancy Timothy 
The most valuable of all grasses. Our Fancy Timothy 
is guaranteed to be high in purity and germination. 
We know you will be pleased with this seed. A good 
stand is easily secured. It is used more extensively 
than any other of the Grasses or clovers. Grows rapidly 
and produces hay that commands the highest market 
price. Timothy seed is sown with clover and alsike 
and makes very good hay. It is also valuable in pasture 
mixtures. Timothy Seed is low in price compared with 
clovers, therefore extreme care should be taken to 
sow best seed obtainable; highest in purity and ger¬ 
mination. When sown alone sow 8 quarts per acre; 
if sown with clovers sow 3 to 4 quarts per acre. See 
Price-List. 
Bearded Barley 
Barley should be grown more than it is. It will do 
well in most any section of any state. Barley culture is 
similar to that of spring wheat or oats. To produce 
large crops of Barley the soil should be well prepared 
to receive the seed. It is heavier than oats and will 
yield more bushels per acre. It is a splendid feed. 
Barley should be sown as early as oats, if possible, but 
will stand late planting better than oats. Sow about 
2 bushels per acre. See Price-List. 
Permanent Pasture Mixture 
Good pasture is the foundation of the riches of a farm. 
One of the most valuable crops for successful stock and 
dairy farming is abundant pasture. Our Mixture yields 
a very heavy crop of the finest and most succulent 
grasses early in the season until late in the fall, and is 
intended especially for seeding pasture-grounds. 
Several varieties are used in this Mixture, a combination 
of grasses of different habits and seasons of growth. 
They can be depended on to produce a turf that will 
stand the trampling of stock, and as the different 
grasses have different habits of growth, they grow closer 
together, their roots interlacing, covering the soil and 
forming a protection from the extreme heat, cold and 
dry weather. This enables the grasses to retain a rich 
green appearance from early spring to late fall. These 
mixtures are recommended for either spring- or fall¬ 
sowing. If sown in the spring, sow with a nurse crop; 
about 1 bushel of oats or barley per acre is very desirable. 
Two mixtures are made: One for well-drained up¬ 
land, called Highland Mixture, and the other for low¬ 
land meadows, which is called Lowland Mixture. Sow 
25 pounds per acre. See Price-List. 
Timothy and Alsike 
This seed is grown and harvested together and is 
sold for less than you can buy the seed separately. 
Our seed is recleaned and runs 20 per cent Alsike. 
These two crops are well suited for growing together 
and will thrive on any land located anywhere within 
the clover belt, for although this crop reaches its 
highest state of perfection on moist, low land it can 
be grown anywhere with good results and makes 
good hay. About 12 to 16 pounds per acre is required. 
A trial of this mixture will add to your profits.
