Don Gurney with a bundle of BROME 
GRASS over 5 feet tall 
Brome Grass Lot -A-1 
When driving through the country in 
the early spring, you have probably seen 
a pasture that is green long before any 
other. If you have, it was undoubtedly 
Bromus. 
This strong growing, hardy perennial 
grass starts as soon as the ground thaws, 
and continues green and luxuriant long 
after the first frosts. It will stand almost 
any amount of heat and drouth, and still 
produce a lot of pasture or hay. It suc- 
ceeds on almost any soil. Grows about 3 
to 4 feet tall and yields from 11% to 3 tons 
of excellent hay per acre. 
There is a lot of difference in Bro- 
mus seed, and before purchasing else- 
where, I would like to have you send for 
a sample of this heavy, well cleaned, high 
quality seed. Bromus will settle your 
pasture problem.

25 Ibs., $4.65; 50 Ibs., $8.95; 100 Ibs., 
$17.75. 

ORCHARD GRASS: This is one of the real 
good hay and pasture grasses. It will stand a lot 
of drouth and heat and still make a good crop. 
In our trials at Yankton, Orchard Grass has 
been near the top in yield and hardiness. Much 
more of this good grass should be planted.

25 Ibs., $7.10; 50 Ibs., $13.90; 100 Ibs., $27.50. 
MEADOW FESCUE: This heavy yielding, highly 
nutritious grass is one of the best for pasture or 
hay where the rainfall or moisture is ample. Sow 
at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. 
1 Ib., 25c; 5 Ibs., $1.10; 10 Ibs., $1.95; 25 Ibs.,

Perennial Pasture Mixture 
UPLAND AND LOWLAND 
Most pastures in the Northwest are 
dead or else the grass is so thin that the 
weeds have taken possession. Why not 
replant at least part of your pasture with 
Gurney’s Upland or Lowland Pasture 
Mixtures? 
A pasture of properly blended grass will 
pasture twice as much livestock as an 
ordinary pasture. 
Our Pasture Mixtures are made up 
principally of the hardy grasses which 
have withstood the last seven years of 
drouth—Bromus, Crested Wheat 
Grass and Western Wheat Grass. We 
have added smaller amounts of Rye 
Grass, Red Top, Timothy, Orchard Grass, 
Meadow Fescue, Blue Grass, and a small 
amount of different clovers. 
This makes a Good Pasture from early 
in the spring through the hot, dry sum- 
mer, and late in the fall until the pasture 
is covered with snow. 
If you want your cows to stand belly 
deep in a permanent pasture of rich, 
succulent grasses, plant Gurney’s Pasture 
Mixtures. The additional cream checks 
will pay the bill. Plant from 18 to 20 
pounds per acre. 
When ordering, state whether for 
low or high land.

REED CANARY OR PHALARIS: A magnificent 
grass for wet, low lying, poorly drained soils; in 
fact, the only grass we know of for reclaiming 
waste, marshy lands. On many farms there are 
low, wet places where neither Red Top or Alsike 
will grow, and for these, Phalaris or Reed Canary 
Grass is the thing to plant. The leaves are quite 
broad, and the plant grows 5 to 7 feet Kigh. Under- 
ground stems rapidly form a tough sod that will 
hold hay machinery. Yields of 4 to 5 tons of hay 
per acre from two cuttings have been reported. 
One acre will pasture 3 or 4 cows, and may be 
grazed closely except in the fall. Turn that low 
swamp patch into the most profitable acres on 
your farm.

$5.40; 50 Ibs., $10.50; 100 Ibs., $20.75. 
RYE GRASS: This is the grass to use if you want 
a lot of good pasture and hay the first year. It 
grows about 2 feet tall, and yields about 2 tons of 
leafy hay per acre. In some places Rye Grass is 
partly perennial, but in the Middle West it is the 
best treated as an annual, and allowed to re-seed 
itself.

$1.90; 50 Ibs., $3.60; 100 Ibs., $6.95. 
RED TOP: Red Top is a hardy perennial grass 
which does best on low, moist land. It makes excel- 
lent pasture and a heavy yielding, good quality 
hay. Height 214 feet. Plant 10 pounds per acre. 
1 Ib., 25c; 5 ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.70; 25 lbs.,

A NEW PASTURE MIXTURE: 20% Alfalfa, 
50% Bromus, 25% Crested Wheat Grass, 5% 5; 
Sweet Clover 
Alfalfa in pastures is now recommended by most | 
of the experiment stations. The Bromus and 
Crested Wheat Grass make a sod heavy enough t 
prevent the growth of weeds in the Alfalfa. 
The alfalfa adds to the protein in the feed, a 
well as gathering nitrogen from the air, and en 
riches the soil. 
The grassin this Alfalfa Grass Pashive will oft 
be a foot taller than these same grasses grov i 
alone. : 
All of the experiment stations say this Mixture 
can be pastured without any danger of bloat. ‘ 
Plant this new perennial Alfalfa Grass Mixture 
and have a_pasture that will beat any one : 
Plant 20 pounds per acre. :
