Olds’ Grasses 
Timothy Seed 
Et (Sow 10 to 15 pounds to the acre.) 
Timothy for years has been the standard and most widely 
grown hay grass. It is indispensable as a hay for horses. It 
is an easily grown low-cost crop and seed is cheap. Probably 
the most profitable grass to grow where conditions permit its 
cultivation. A short lived perennial usually lasting four or 
five years. It is satisfactory for pasturing just a short period. 
Timothy prefers a sweet soil and thrives best on rich moist 
hottom lands and heavy types of soil. Tt is a nitrogen feeding 
plant and should follow a legume crop. 
Our timothy seed is the purest and best that can be ob- 
best for pasture and splendid for 
succeeds on dry land but is also adapted 
meadow grass, one of the 
lawns. It not only 
to moist ‘soils.

Reed Canary Grass 
BRINGS LOW GROUND INTO 
PRODUCTION 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable new 
perennial hay and pasture crop especially 
desirable for low, marshy land. Nothing like 
it has been thus far produced as it puts land 
that is just dead waste into production of 
valuable’ forage. Continues to grow without 
care or attention, Very highly recommended 
by the Wisconsin and Minnesota experiment 
stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing sea- 
son as it starts very early in the spring, and 
beginning before June 1st, will furnish an 
abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good 
quality hay better than timothy and. far 
superior to wild hay. Ordinarily two or more 
cuttings can be made in a season. As. high 
as seven tons of hay per acre have been pro- 
duced in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or 
with timothy, 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre 
broadeast, or 2 to 3 pounds with drill. Late 
summer and late fall seeding are also recom- 
mended. It makes a permanent grass when 
once established.
