PASTURE GRASSES, CLOVER 
GRASSES 
BROMUS INERMIS 
(AWNLESS BROME GRASS) 
The best grass we have for the drier regions 
of Northern California. Grows luxuriantly, is 
freely eaten dry or green by cattle. Sow 25 
to 30 pounds per acre. Spring or fall. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
Excellent for wet and marshy land. May be 
seeded alone or in mixtures where 
tion is heavy. 
TALL FESCUE 
A very palatable grass, it is related closely 
to Meadow Fescue. Hardy perennial, adapted 
to pasture mixtures, especially on wet soils. 
Sow 25 pounds to the acre. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
This is a very valuable species for perma- 
nent grass lands and is relished by livestock 
both as hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre on well prepared soil. 
MESQUITE 
Used on burned over, virgin soils. No culti- 
vation necessary. Sow seed at the rate of 15 
pounds per acre. 
OAT GRASS, TALL MEADOW 
The earliest grass to start in the spring and 
holds well into the fall. Withstands rather dry, 
warm and cold conditions much better than 
many other grasses. A long-lived, deep rooted 
perennial. Grows equally well on bottom or 
upland. For pasture sow 20 to 30 pounds per 
acre. 
irriga- 
ORCHARD GRASS or 
COCKSFOOT 
Valuable if planted alone or mixed with 
other grasses. Very often mixed with Ladino 
clover, red clover and rye grass. Seed should 
be broadcast at the rate of 20 to 28 pounds 
per acre on well prepared soil. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
A strong growing, hardy perennial grass, 
noted for its nutritive qualities. It is equally 
valuable for both grazing and hay. For pas- 
ture sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. 

Ladino Clover 
WESTERN RYE GRASS 
A quick growing grass, attaining a height 
of 212 to 4 feet, desirable for temporary mead- 
ows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that are 
slightly moist and will even stand consider- 
able overflow. Grows easily and produces an 
abundance of excellent forage either as hay 
or pasture. Sow 25 pounds per acre. 
TIMOTHY 
This is a very valuable grass for hay. 
Thrives best on moist, loamy, soil. Sow early 
in the spring or fall at the rate of 8 to 10 
pounds per acre. 
DALLIS GRASS 
(PASPALUM DILATATUM) 
This strong rooted perennial grass is 
adapted to poor as well as good soils and 
is quite resistant to drought, reviving quickly 
when moisture becomes available. Grows in 
clumps or bunches 2 to 3 feet high, is deep 
rooted and supplies an abundance of nutri- 
tious green feed throughout the year if kept 
well irrigated. Sow 8 to 10 pounds of seed 
per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS 
An annual of the Sorghum family. Produces 
more forage per acre than any other annual 
crop. Sudan may be used as a hay crop but 
its principal use is for a quick summer forage 
in the warmer sections and where irrigation 
is available. Under good conditions this crop 
will grow 5 to 10 feet high and produce an 
abundance of green feed during the summer 
months. 
‘* RED TOP 
A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a 
good, permanent grass. It should be grazed 
close. It has been grown successfully on 
“alkali bottom lands, where other grasses 
failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 
10 to 15 pounds of clean seed to the acre. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
This is an excellent grass for pasture for all 
kinds of stock. It is very hardy. The roots 
form a tough sod. Blue Grass requires two 
years to get well started and for that reason 
is often sown in mixture with other grasses. 
From 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 

Crested Wheat Grass 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
This is a valuable plant for our Western 
country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. 
It is one of the best and surest hay grasses 
for these sections. It produces good crops of 
hay and makes excellent permanent pasture. 
It withstands drought and the cold winters. 
10 to 15 pounds of seed is usually sown to 
the acre. 
CLOVER 
LADINO CLOVER 
This giant variety. of White Dutch clover 
has been extensively planted in California 
during the last few years. Its luxuriant growth 
and adaptability to the poorer types of heavy 
lands makes this the most useful crop that 
has been introduced in California in many 
years. Grown by itself or in combination with 
other grasses it provides abundant pasturage 
for milk cows, stock and poultry. The plant is 
a perennial, making a growth of 8 to 15 inches. 
Can be grown successfully on a wide range of 
soils but has been found especially valuable 
on heavy adobe and shallow soils of the in- 
terior valleys. Pastures should be irrigated 
every ten days durina the growing season. 
Ladino may be seeded in the spring or fall 
and 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre is re- 
quired. We can supply California grown seed 
or Certified Oregon seed.
