high-grade seeds you did sev- 
eral years ago, samples are 
not needed, as I always found 
your seeds very satisfactory 
in all respects, and never 
used anything better.”—Fred 
Lawrence, High Falls, N. Y. 
“My Funk ‘G’ Hybrid Corn 
is wonderful. Dark green 
stalks. Straight as an arrow. 
Two ears to each stalk.”—Dr. 
R. H. Merkel, Pottstown, Pa. 
GULLY CONTROL 
One cheap and_ handy 
method of checking gullies 
is to use burlap bags filled 
with soil—pegged end to 
end across the gully. An- 
other method is to fill gul- 
lies with bundles of corn 
fodder. This checks flow 
of water and accumulates 
silt—conserving your top 
soil. Sowing some inex- 
pensive quick-starting Rye 
Grass will often help start 
a sod. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Most widely used of all grasses over tremendous area. Perhaps 
the hardiest of perennial grasses, growing in most Eastern sec- 
tions. Prefers sweet soil for top results, and responds quickly 
to applications of phosphate and lime. Spreads by running 
rootlets. Rarely exceeds two feet, low growing compared to 
some. Sow 30 to 35 pounds per acre. 
A slow grower, therefore best sown with other quicker 
gtowing seeds. These take hold and are then replaced by the 
Kentucky Blue to form a tough, permanent sod. Fine on sharp 
slopes and for Pennsylvania’s limestone valleys. Tops in graz- 
ing qualities and nutritive value. 
CANADA BLUE 
Not like Kentucky Blue. Shorter, coarser, faster growing, good 
on poor or rocky soil where Kentucky won’t grow. Makes 
somewhat less feed. 
RED TOP 
A very useful perennial grass, with a creeping habit of growth. 
Four main uses—(1) as wet or sour land crop, (2) for pasture 
mixtures under humid conditions, especially on soils other 
than limestone, (3) as soil binder to combat erosion, (4) for 
hay mixtures. Red Top grows on lime-starved soils that won't 
support other grasses. Vigorous, drought-resisting, it makes a 
coarse, loose turf. Matures about same time as Timothy. One 
of the best wet-land grasses. Ranks second only to blue grass 
in wideness of use in the North and East. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
A long-lived, leafy, perennial bunch-grass; very drought- 
resistant. Withstands extreme cold. Early, long-season pasture. 
Grows 24 to 30 inches high. Drill 12 to 16 Ibs. per acre— 
broadcast 20 to 25 Ibs. 
NEW LIFE TO OLD PASTURES 
When weeds, moss and ferns begin to take over old pastures 
a good sod can be restored without tillage and reseeding. Ap- 
ply a top dressing of limestone, phosphate and a little manure. 
In a surprisingly short time the good pasture grasses and 
clover will recover and thicken into a good sod and useless 
plants crowded out.
