FED GANARY GRass 




























THE MIRACLE GRASS 
This grass is a perennial and lasts several 
years. It will establish a heavy sod on land too 
wet for other crops. It is easy to eradicate. 
This grass is best adapted for low wet land, al- 
though it has been found to produce paying 
crops on drained land and up land. It roots fairly deep. It is a wonderful 
drought resister. During a dry season when other grasses and forage crops 
were practically a failure, Reed’s Canary Grass produced 3 tons of hay per 
acre. 
Seeding and Soil Requirements 
It can be successfully grown most anywhere in the northern 
half of the U. S. Thrives on sour soil. Grows standing in 
water. Reed’s Canary Grass can be sown in spring or fall. 
Spring seeding is most common. Can be sown real early in the 
spring. "Sow it alone or with a very light seeding of grain. For a 
seed crop sow about 3 lb. per acre in rows about 18 inches apart. 
Should be cultivated once or twice. For hay or pasture sow 6 to 8 
Ib. per acre. Only cover the seed lightly. About 144 inch is plenty. 
You can sow broadcast and go over with a roller if soil is loose. 
Practically all our seed comes from Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our 
seed is clean and has good germination. . 
Profitable Crop 
Grows 4 to 6 feet high. Yields 3 to 5 tons per acre. The hay hag high 
feeding value. All livestock will eat it, Under average conditions two or three 
cuttings per acre are obtained. You can cut off the heads for seed and still 
get a full crop of fine quality of hay from the stand. Produces 100 to 175 Ib. 
of seed per acre. This is a fine grass for pasture. It can be pastured 
from early spring until late in the fall. Has pastured four mature cows 
per acre for a period of seven months.
