SUDAN No. 23 
This Lago Brand new strain of 
Sudan is a definite improvement 
over the old Sudan, being 25 per 
cent more prolific in tiller and 
leaves. This new strain needs very 
little water—is ideal for dry farm- 
ing, and produces well even in clayey 
or sandy soils. Animals thrive on it, 
and tests show gains in weight and 
energy, and dairy animals produce 
more milk. For quick summer pas- 
ture, Lago Brand California Grown 
Sudan is unexcelled. Sow 20 pounds 
to the acre. 1 Ib. 35c, 10 Ibs. $3.00.

DOMESTIC RYE 
(Italian or Western) 
An annual grass, growing well in 
winter and much used as a com- 
panion crop for Ladino and other 
rank-growing clovers. Does best on 
heavy moist soils. Is often sown as 
a temporary pasture crop or for 
use as a high-quality, sweet hay

growth contribute to its popularity, 
as well as its value as a bloat deter- 
ent in early spring pastures, rich 
with heavy legume growth. In these 
respects it is unexcelled. Sow 25 
pounds per acre. 1 Ib. 35c, 10 Ibs.

ORCHARD 
Here is a splendid grass for hay when 
planted alone or with Red clover. Com- 
bines well with Ladino for pasture, but 
with this combination, graze heavily or 
cut back before seed forms, as Ladino 
is preferred by stock, and the Orchard 
grass tends to take the field. Well 
adapted to wet soils, and will stand 
some heat and drought. Will not thrive 
on alkali soils. Sow 30 pounds per acre.
