SUDAN 
Orchard Grass 
A vigorous grass planted extensively 
by horse and cattle raisers, for it provides 
good grazing from spring until winter. 
If desired for hay it should be cut while 
in bloom; it will be ready for grazing again 
within a few weeks. Grows well in shady 
locations. Sow 14 lbs. per acre. 
82/85 onion-free seed. Lb. 33 cts.; 
14-lb. bus. $4.50. 
85/85 seed. Lb. 32 cts.; bus. $4.30. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
One of the earliest grasses in spring, 
yielding valuable pasturage if planted on 
limestone or stiff soil. Since it requires a 
year or two to become firmly established, 
it is best to sow Blue Grass with other 
varieties. It is the base of all good lawn 
grass mixtures, and withstands the coldest 
winters. Sow 35 lbs. per acre, in spring or 
fall. Lb. 25 cts.; 14-lb. bus. $2.80; 8-bus. 
(112 lbs.) bag, $2.75 per bus. 
Timothy 
Well-known grass doing best on bottom 
lands, rich moist loams, and clay soil, but 
not on loose, sandy ground. Makes a good 
pasture when sown at the rate of 6 lbs. 
per acre, along with 6 lbs. sapling clover 
and 4 lbs. red-top. If sown alone, plant 
one peck (about 11 lbs.) per acre, in spring 
or fall. For hay, use 6 lbs. timothy and 
6 lbs. clover. 
99.60% pure. Lb. 8 cts.; bus. $3.25. 
99% pure. Lb. 8 cts.; bus. $3.20. 
Red-Top or Herds Grass 
‘Adapted to a wider range of soils than 
any other grass, but especially good on 
heavy, wet bottom land. Should always 
be included in mixtures for such types of 
land, whether for hay or for pasture. 
Sow 12 lbs. per acre if used alone. Lb. 
13 cts.; 25 lbs., 12 cts. per lb.; 100 lbs. 

GRASS 
Rye Grass (Italian or Domestic) 
Well suited to winter lawns and for 
sowing on land infested with crab-grass. 
With proper moisture, will germinate in 
6 to 8 days. Sow 30 lbs. per acre. Good 
results come from seeding in the fall and 
close clipping in the spring. Also excellent 
pasture and land-improver. Lb. 11 cts.; 
25 lbs., 10 cts. per lb.; 100 Ibs., 9 cts. per lb. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
Withstands the heat and drought of 
midsummer and the cold of winter. Starts 
growing early in spring and affords good 
grazing until late fall. If sown alone, use 
18 to 22 lbs. per acre. In mixture, use 8 lbs. 
each of Oat Grass, orchard grass, and red 
clover. Lb. 20 cts.; 100 lbs. $19.00.

STALEYMONE, the new growth-promoting material, is decidedly beneficial when used on 
grass seed. It helps to produce strong, vigorous plants capable of withstanding dry weather. 
Eight ounces of Staleymone per bushel of grass seed gives best results. See page 10.
