BEST LAWN MIXTURE 
Our selected lawn mixture is the very 
finest combination of high quality 
seeds ...a marvelous mixture that 
years of experimenting has proved to 
be safe and sound. It produces a 
lawn that is like a carpet of green 
velvet . . . smooth, even, and thick. 
All the grasses in it are fine-bladed 
and deep-rooting. 
SHADE MIXTURE 
Wherever shade makes it difficult to 
obtain a good lawn, our special shade 
mixture is heartily recommended. 
Excellent quality, shade-enduring 
grasses and clovers ... blended into 
a mixture that will give surprising 
results. 
ALFALFA 
Rich in proteins and lime—hence a great feed 
crop for dairy cows, beef cattle, hogs, sheep. 
A marvelous soil builder and soil restorer, too, 
when properly inoculated. 
We carry a full range of selected Alfalfa vari- 
eties, all well suited to the needs of this terri- 
tory, and of the highest quality. 
CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED—The most valuable of the Clover 
family. Makes two crops the second year. Does 
not exhaust the soil, but enriches it. 
SWEET, WHITE BLOSSOM—Most abundant growth 
of any of the Clovers. Makes a pasture earlier 
than other crops and will keep stock in good con- 
dition until winter regardless of heat and drought. 
Use to build up worn out fields. 
ALSIKE—Very hardy. Does better on moist land 
than other varieties of Clover. Suitable for hay or 
pasture. When sown with other grasses, forms a 
thick undergrowth and greatly increases the yield. 
Frequently sown both with Medium Red Clover 
and with Timothy, and the quality of hay thus 
produced is excellent. Finer and more leafy than 
Medium Red Clover and cattle prefer it. 
OTHER CLOVERS—Space doesn’t permit listing of 
all our offerings of Clover. We have all the varie- 
ties common to our section, each one selected and 
handled with expert care and caution, so as to 
assure you the top yields and best quality. 
GRASSES 
ORCHARD GRASS—Hardy, quick-growing. Gives 
a large yield of excellent hay. May be cut several 
times during season. Not recommended for lawn 
use, 
RYE GRASS, DOMESTIC—Fast-growing one-year 
grass. Makes a full crop, yields abundantly, and 
matures all in one season. Helpful as a nurse 
crop to other grasses. 
SUDAN—The ideal emergency hay and pasture 
crop for late planting. Never plant until ground is 
thoroughly warmed. 
TIMOTHY—Unsurpassed as a crop for hay. Rel- 
ished by all kinds of stock, especially horses. Not 
suited for permanent pasture. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Produces a deep 
dark green lawn of close, thick turf. Maintains 
its green color until late in fall. Roots are deep, 
and plants very hardy. 
WHITE CLOVER —Very desirable in lawn 
mixtures because of its rapid, low growth and 
creeping stems. Valuable as a green cover for 
poor ground. Very hardy. 
RYE GRASS—A rapid grower, valuable in 
lawn mixtures demanding quick effect. Not 
long lasting. Does well on moist soils. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE—Widely used for put- 
ting greens, fairways and tees. Very hardy, 
produces thick, durable turf, even under un- 
favorable conditions. 
RED TOP—Particularly suitable for wet, low 
spots, as it stands wet weather, or even over- 
flowing, better than other grasses. Also does 
well on almost any good, rich soil. Often 
thrives where blue grass fails. However, it 
should not be considered as competitive with 
blue grass, but as a good supplement for it. 
Particularly useful in mixtures for restraining 
the growth of weeds. 
BENT—Makes a thick, dense turf on heavy, 
sour soils and being of a semi-creeping habit 
will recover the ground after injury. Unex- 
celled for fine lawns and putting greens. Will 
stand quite-close mowing. 
BROME GRASS—Drought defying, resistant to frost 
and extreme heat alike. Starts 2 to 3 weeks earlier 
than native prairie grasses, and stays green later 
in fall. Produces abundant pasturage and enor- 
mous crops of high grade hay. 
RAPE—One of the very finest pastures for eco- 
nomical production of pork, mutton, or beef. A 
good crop gives you 12 to 15 tons of green food 
per acre. 
SOY BEANS—The crop of many purposes. Excel- 
lent for hay, ensilage, grain, and soil improve- 
ment. Ground soy beans are as good or better 
than Oil Meal for mixing with your grains in a 
balanced dairy ration. 
We offer the highest quality seed of a good range 
of varieties. Consult us about the choice of varie- 
ties best suited to your own needs. 
VETCH—A great producer, for hay, pasturage, or 
silage. Good cover crop and soil builder. May be 
sown spring or fall, is not particular as to soil, 
and needs only moderate moisture.
