ALFALFA---the Most Profitable Crop 


ALFALFA FIELD 
GRASSES for lawns, Pasture and Hay 
SUDAN GRASS—The heaviest-yield- 
ing, most drouth-resisting hay grass 
ever introduced. Sudan Grass com- 
bines all the good features of Johnson 
Grass and has none of the objections. 
Sudan Grass is sown in the spring, 
as soon as danger of frost is past, 
either broadcast or in rows so that 
it can be cultivated. If in rows, 
8% feet apart, 5 to 6 pounds to the 
acre will be required; if sown broad- 
cast, 15 to 20 pounds. It stools freely 
and often from 80 to 100 plants may 
be found coming from one seed. As a 
drouth-resister, it has no equal, and 
may be depended upon when all other 
grasses succumb to dry weather. It 
may be mowed or cut with binder; the 
latter method is preferred, as Sudan 
Grass cures admirably well in shocks.

RED TOP—Grows well in all soils, 
whether sandy, thin, dry lands or rich, 
wet soils. It is one of the most satis- 
factory grasses that can be sown; a 
fine pasture grass and is well suited 
for meadows. It sends out shoots at 
the base that take root at every joint, 
forming a dense, thick sod. Sow 10 
pounds to the acre. 
Lb., 40c, postpaid. 
RYE GRASS — An annual, quick 
rowing grass. Can be planted in the 
all or early spring. For lawns use 
1 lb. per 100 square feet, for pasture 
30 lbs. per acre. With proper amount 
of moisture Rye Grass is the fastest 
growing grass known.

Ask for quantity prices. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—Certified, 
Oregon grown. Similar in growth, 
adaptation and use to the annual Rye 
Grass, but persists several years.

HIGHLAND BENT GRASS—Highland 
Bent withstands more heat and 
requires less water than most Bent 
grasses. Originated from the Astoria 
it stands up well under more adverse 
conditions than Astoria or Seaside. 
V4 Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.15, postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS — An ex- 
cellent pasture and lawn grass, suc- 
ceeding best on limestone land, but 
does well on stiff or clay soils. It is 
rather sensitive to heat, but not to 
cold weather, and on this account does 
best in the spring, fall or winter. Sow 
in the fall or spring at the rate of 
2 to 3 bushels to an acre. 
Lb., 60c, postpaid. 

For lawns, sow 1 lb. to 150 square feet. 
Kentucky Blue Grass is adapted to shady spots, 
but as our soils lack lime it is advisable to use 
pulverized limestone at least once a year at the 
rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 100 square feet. 

BLUE GRASS 
ALFALFA 
Alfalfa is the most profitable crop 
by far grown in Kansas, Oklahoma, 
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colo- 
rado, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Ne- 
braska. No other crop on a twenty- 
year average produces nearly as many 
dollars per acre as does alfalfa. 
Cultivation is very simple, the es- 
sentials being well drained soil, at 
least eight feet to permanent water, 
shallow planting, thorough harrowing 
and packing. 
PERFECTION BRAND ALFALFA SEED 
is the highest grade of American 
grown seed, testing 99% or better 
pure. 
Lb., 60c, postpaid; by freight or ex- 
press, Ib., 50c; 10 Ibs., $4.50.

A PRODUCT OF SWIFT & COMPANY 
MEADOW FESCUE — Commonly 
called English bluegrass, produces a 
fairly good sod and withstands pas- 
turing very well. It is grown chiefly 
in the region north of the cotton belt. 
It is best adapted to fertile and moist 
soils, rather than poor uplands, and 
does fairly well in the shade. Meadow 
fescue is used mostly in mixtures, and 
is valuable for supplying pasturage 
while slower growing species are be- 
ing established. It has a limited 
adaptation in northeastern Oklahoma, 
and provides grazing during cooler 
season. When grown alone it is seeded 
at the rate of 15 pounds per acre. 
Lb., 60c, postpaid. 
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of 
the most valuable and widely known 
of all pasturage grasses, coming in 
early in the spring and remaining 
green later in the fall than any other. 
It grows about 2% feet high, produc- 
ing an immense quantity of leaves 
and forage. Sow 1% bushels to an 
acre either spring or fall. 
Lb., 65c, postpaid. 
BLUE GRAMMA GRASS — Blue 
Gramma perhaps occupies second 
place as a pasture grass in the west- 
ern part of the state. It is a factor in 
many pastures in eastern Oklahoma.
