PASTURE GRASS SEEDS [Cont’d] 
RED TOP GRASS. One of our best native grasses. Es- 
pecially valuable for sowing on sour or acid soils, 
swampy or meadow lands, liable to overflow, and on 
soils that are not rich enough for Timothy and other 
grasses. Mixed with Alsike Clover makes fine crop of 
hay or excellent pasture. Fourteen pounds of solid seed 
to the acre. Should be cut when in full flower. More 
easily cured than any other grass. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum cristatum.) A 
perennial with fibrous root system and bunching tend- 
ency, especially well adapted to dry land areas. It re- 
sponds quickly to small amounts of moisture, starts 
earlier in the spring and grows later in the fall than 
other grasses. Good for hay or pasture. Sow 1-inch 
deep, 6 to 10 lbs. per acre in close drills. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum tenerum.) An- 
other good perennial with drought-resisting habits. Pro- 
duces 11% tons of hay per acre, which is well liked by 
live stock. 
REED CANARY GRASS. A perennial that will do well 
in very moist places. Makes good hay and pasture. 
Sow six pounds per acre. 

LEMMON’S ALKALI GRASS. A fine leaved upright dark 
green grass that is extremely resistant to alkali. For 
pastures, sow 6 to 10 pounds per acre and for lawns 
1 pounds to 150 square feet. 
BLUE GRAMA GRASS. Valuable for reseeding ranges. 
Resistant to over grazing. Sow 12 pounds per acre in 
March or April not to exceed %4 to 1 inch deep. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—Fairway Strain. Grows 
shorter than the Standard strain, has more and finer 
leaves and produces about the same amount of hay. 
Can be used for lawns in dry sections. 
NATIVE RYE GRASS 
A QUICK GROWING GRASS, half annual and half peren- 
nial. Excellent for lawns when used with Kentucky 
Blue Grass, as it grows fast and protects the blue grass. 
Sow 30% native rye and 70% blue grass. 
SPECIAL MIXTURES—Pasture Grasses 
We can make up special 
mixtures for particular 
types of soil and climatic conditions. Write us for 
information on what is best for you to use. 

TESTED SEED CORN 
There are a good many factors that determine the yield of corn per 
acre. Some of these are beyond the control of the grower, but there 
is one very important factor that every grower can control, and that 
is the quality of the seed that you plant and Treat It With Semesan 
Jr. Ask for special free bulletin on Semesan Jr. 
MINNESOTA No. 13. The king of 
Colorado Grown Corns. Early 
maturing, yellow, fair-sized ears 
and a good yielder. Stalks are 
about six feet high and are ex- 
cellent for silage. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT. An 
early yellow-grained variety 
which matures almost with the 
flints. Can be grown in almost 
any locality. Stalks of our strains 
are large with broad leaves. Ears 
are 8 to 10 inches with 16 rows. 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN. The earli- 
est and surest variety we have 
for our dry weather and short 
seasons. It is a flint corn, pro- 
ducing large, long ears. 
SWADLEY. Will mature almost as 
soon as White Australian and 
produces better grade of corn. It 
is an early sort of a yellow dent, 
the kernels being a pale yellow 
with the large end a whitish col- 
or. Does very well on dry land. 

BLUE SQUAW CORN. This variety grows very dwarf 
and is one of the best for resisting drought. Kernels 
are blue and white. 
COLORADO No. 13. A re-selection and practically the 
same as Minnesota 13. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. An old standby that makes ex- 
cellent ensilage corn. 
RED COB ENSILAGE. A white dent with a red cob. 
Produces lots of tonnage for ensilage. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE. A white corn, produced in the 
South, our seed coming from Virginia. Produces most 
tonnage for ensilage, but will not produce ears in this 
locality. 
IOWA SILVER MINE. A pure white corn that does well 
in Colorado. We have Colorado-grown corn for matur- 
ing grain and eastern-grown corn for ensilage purposes. 
IMPROVED LEAMING. A good ensilage corn. Stalks are 
10 to 12 feet high with plenty of leaf. 
IOWA GOLD MINE. A yellow corn for ensilage purposes 
and a good one. 
SEMESAN JR. for field and sweet corn. Protects it from 
rotting in cold, wet soil, controls seedling blight. See 
page 38.
