WESTERN WHEATGRASS—King of the Grasses 
Builds Beef and Mutton 
The Year-Around Pasture Grass for Western Dry Land 
A most drought resistant, year-around permanent pasture and 
hay plant. Unlike other grasses that die down in the fall with the 
first frost, this wonderful grass is not affected and furnishes pas- 
ture during winter months as well as in the spring and summer. It 
propagates by root stalks and once started will last a lifetime. Its 
feeding value is greater than most other grasses. Stands 120 degrees 
Fahrenheit in the summer and 40 below zero freezing in the winter 
without apparent injury. Prefers clay soils. Plant 12 pounds per 
acre on firm ground and cover lightly. Plant by hand or by drill 
quite early in the spring. 
10 Ibs. $2.00; 25 Ibs. $4.50; 50 Ibs. $8.50; 100 Ibs. $16.00 
The Wheatgrass plant is as nearly a perfectly balanced diet as 
can be found in one plant. A man can saddle up his horse in Jan- 
uary, and go out to see his stock as contented as in June.

Wheatgrass is not only the most profitable for beef cattle but is also the best year round 
permanent pasture for production of wool and mutton 
CRESTED WHEATGRASS 
A drought resistant, long lived perennial bunch grass, related to 
Western Wheatgrass, introduced by Professor Hansen of S. D. State 
College who found it in Siberia, from where he also introduced 
Cossack Alfalfa. Stands extreme freezing in winter and hot dry 
temperature in summer without injury. 
IMPROVED FORAGE TYPE of Crested Wheatgrass is finer stem- 
med and possesses 10 per cent more leaf and is definitely superior 
to the standard types. It becomes green in the spring earlier than 
other grasses and stays green later in the fall. It produces twice 
as much pasture and hay of high palatability and nutritive value 
as native grass. Produces twice as much beef, mutton and wool 
and shows no bad effect from heavy grazing. Broadcast 10 to 12 
Ibs. per acre. It has the ability to grow in low temperatures and 
starts growing earlier. Every farmer and rancher should plant 
this grass and do it early in the season. The very best top quality 
seed of the heavier yielding Forage Type strain: 
10 Ibs. $2.25; 25 Ibs. $4.75; 50 Ibs. $9.00; 100 Ibs. $17.50 
No. 1 grade Standard Crested Wheatgrass : 
10 Ibs. $1.90; 25 Ibs. $4.00; 50 Ibs. $7.50; 100 Ibs. $14.25
