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 relatetd 
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 with- 
stands drought and the cold winters. As a mixture it does fine 
oe Brome grass. 10 to 15 pounds of seed is usually sown to 
e 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 
sreen color. Its stems are erect and comparatively stiff but 
not harsh. Primarily a pasture grass with a long life, long 
grazing season and produces a large quantity of very succu- 
lent, 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

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 
sections. 
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 relished by 
all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. Will not 
winter-kill. Does well under irrigation, and in relatively 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. Require 
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 variety of recent introduc- 
tion, it 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 as pas- 
turage for sheep, cattle and hogs. It also makes splendid green 
feed for poultry. Plant 10 lbs. per acre, in early spring. De- 
velops 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. 
Soybean hay is one of the best roughages and when mixed with 
corn makes 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 a 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 ottyields all other common varieties.
