Timothy Seed 
; (Sow 10 to 15 pounds to the acre.) 
Timothy for years has been the standard and most widely 
grown hay grass. It is indispensable as a hay for horses. It 
is an easily grown low-cost crop and seed is cheap. Probably 
the most profitable grass to grow where conditions permit its 
cultivation. A short lived perennial usually lasting four or 
five years. It is satisfactory for pasturing just a short period, 
Timothy prefers a sweet soil and thrives best on rich moist 
bottom lands and heavy types of soil. It is a nitrogen feeding 
plant and should follow a legume crop. 
Our timothy seed is the purest and best that can be ob- 
tained: It is all thoroughly recleaned and free from noxious 
weeds with high tests, most of it testing 99.6 per cent purity 
or better,

Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis) 
A hardy perennial with strong growing root stalks which 
make a thick firm turf. Does exceedingly well on dry, 
loose soil. Its unusual drought-resisting powers recom- 
mend it for general cultivation. Produces a large yield 
of highly palatable and nutritious hay. It is slow to 
start and we advise to sow with a nurse crop when grown 
for hay. Splendid for permanent pastures. Seed early 
in spring or late summer at the rate of 20 to 28 lbs. of 
seed to the acre. By mail: Lb., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75, postpaid.

Crested Wheat Grass. 
Crested Wheat Grass 
FAIRWAY STRAIN 
(Sow fifteen pounds per acre.) 
A new grass especially suited for semi- 
arid conditions which will endure long 
periods of drought without injury. Growth 
begins very early in the spring and the 
grass thrives during the cool weather of 
spring and fall. The value for hay and 
pasture compares favorably with Brome 
Grass, averaging about 300 pounds more 
per acre in a season. Stands up well un- 
der close grazing and will provide excel- 
lent pasture at both ends of the season 
when it is most needed. Heavy root 
growth makes it splendid for controlling 
weeds. Seeding should be done on well 
prepared soil, preferably with a nurse 
erop especially on drier soils. Early and 
shallow planting are important. Excel- 
lent for lawns, golf course fairways, rural 
school grounds, etc., in dry regions or 
where artificial water is not available.

A Seed Field of Brome Grass. 
Parkland Brome 
THE NEW BROMUS INERMIS 
Parkland is a new variety of Brome de- 
veloped by experimental associations in Can- 
ada. It is a selection of inbreds from the 
common Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis). It 
differs from common Brome Grass essentially 
in that the plant lacks the strongly spread- 
ing underground stems, and the general type 
of plant that composes the strain is dense 
and leafy. 
The plants are on 
shorter but their yield of hay 
about the same as commerciai Brome. The 
higher percentage of leaves in Parkland 
makes a better quality hay and pasture. It 
is well adapted to dry and poor type soils. 
Kasily eradicated when planted with grass 
mixtures. A good companion grass with al- 
falfa as it helps keep out the blue grass. 
Our stock is imported from Canada and is 
No. 1 grade. Prices: Lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, 
postpaid, By freight: 10 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., 
$30.00. 
Reed Canary Grass 
BRINGS LOW GROUND INTO 
PRODUCTION 
Reed.Canary Grass is a very valuable new 
perennial hay and pasture crop especially 
desirable for low, marshy land. Nothing like 
it has been thus far produced as it puts land 
that is just dead waste into production of 
valuable forage. Continues to grow without 
care or attention. Very highly recommended 
by the Wisconsin and Minnesota experiment 
stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing sea- 
son as it Starts very early in the spring, and 
beginning before June Ist, will furnish an 
abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good 
quality hay better than timothy and far 
superior to wild hay. Ordinarily two or more 
cuttings can be made in a season. As high 
as seven tons of hay per acre have been pro- 
duced in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or 
with timothy, 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre 
broadcast, or 2 to 8 pounds with drill, Late 
summer and late fall seeding are also recom- 
mended, It makes a permanent grass when 
once established.
