Wonderful Yielder—Superior Quality— 
Big Crops 
Up to 50% more pasture and hay. 
Easier to get stands. Larger growth—More Profit 
This is the kind of Brome Grass seed to sow if 
you live in sections having climatic conditions like Iowa, 
Fi Nebraska and states to east and south. Each year this New Strain 
Brome is playing a more and more important part in the nation’s pasture and 
hay program. In our opinion it is the most important and valuable of all grasses. There is an 
enormous enthusiastic demand for this New Strain Brome. Experiments and trials in many sec- 
tions show conclusively that special new strains are far more productive in states like Iowa, 
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and east as well as Nebraska, Kentucky, Oklahoma, etc. Northern seed 
like our Canadian stock is good for northern states. 
New Crop Recleaned Seed—Priced Low 
Some of the Advantages 
Kentucky reports such seed produced 50% more than 
the northern seed. Illinois says it is decidedly supe- 
rior in ‘yield especially in the southern half of the 
state and further that farmers are much more success- 
ful in getting stands. Reports from Iowa, Kansas and 
Nebraska show a much taller growth and all experi- 
ment stations find this greatly superior to northern 
seed. Ohio reports the new strain distinctly superior 
throughout the state. Some find in trials that the new 
strains last longer. The evidence clearly indicates it 
has greater resistance to hot weather. Therein is per- 
haps the main reason for its great superiority in yield. 
New Strain Makes Big Money 
A farmer near Lawrence, Kansas, is reported to have 
received this past year $1900.00 for the seed from 16 
acres of Brome plus $435.00 for the hay, making a 
return of practically $146.00 per acre. 
Extra big yields are obtained when Brome and AI- 
falfa are grown together. -In a Kansas experiment 
Brome alone produced 5860 lbs. of hay per acre the 
first year which Weclined to 2588 in the sixth year. 
When grown with alfalfa it yielded 6600 pounds per 
acre the first year and 8460 the sixth year. 
A Liberty, Nebraska, farmer has 100 acres of Brome- 
Alfalfa mixture on which he pastured 700 hogs with 
excellent results, reducing his protein concentrate sup- 
plement 50%. Another Burchard, Nebraska, farmer 
considers his pasture worth $50.00 to $60.00 an acre as 
it carries a lot of stock and decreases the need of pro- 
tein supplement. At Wisner, Nebraska, a large cattle 
feeder is increasing his acreage of New Strain Brome 
and Alfalfa because he says an acre of this will pro- 
duce more beef than an acre of corn and cuts his pro- 
tein requirements in half. He feeds 2000 to 3000 cat- 
tle and has no trouble with bloat. Iowa finds new 
strain Brome far superior to Blue Grass because it pro- 
vides earlier grazing in the spring and a shorter period 
of dormaney in midsummer. 
New Strain Superior 
In practically every instance when you will check 
the production of Brome in the area outlined above you 
will find the new strain Brome of Iowa, Nebraska and 
Kansas production to be by far the most profitable to 
use. This is emphasized by reports from farmers as 
well as experiment stations. This is causing acreage

Quantity prices below 
of Brome to be rapidly increased. In one Nebraska 
county there was practically no Brome 5 years ago— 
now 90% of the farmers are growing Brome or Brome 
and Alfalfa combination. This increase in Brome acre- 
age is spreading throughout all states to the east and 
to the south at least as far as Oklahoma and Kentucky. 
Very Palatable | 
Feeding tests have shown Brome to be more palatable 
than other grasses. The leaves retain their green color 
and palatability even after seed is ripe. Thus seed can 
be combined and still have hay or pasture. It starts 
growing early in the spring. Does far better than 
other grasses during dry summer weather. Keeps on 
growing until late in the fall. Experiments with Al- 
falfa mixed with Brome and used as pasture show that 
Brome and Alfalfa are both eaten readily while if other 
grasses are used the stock will often eat only the Al- 
falfa and thus cause it to kill out quickly. Brome and 
Alfalfa mixed will last longer than any other combi- 
nation,» 
Widely Adapted 
It is adapted to a wide range of soils from sands to 
peats. It wants a good supply of nitrogen in the soil. 
That is why Alfalfa or Clover is such a good combina- 
tion. This Brome is also fine for ditch banks or wher- 
ever you want to keep soils from washing. It forms a 
dense sod and lasts for years, yet it is easy to eradi- 
cate. 
Start This Year 
Get New Strain Brome started on your farm this year 
and grow one of the most highly profitable grasses. Get 
fine quality, palatable, high feeding value and big yields 
of hay and pasture. 
The best quality and largest yields are secured from 
mixed seedings. This is true of both hay and pasture. 
See page 22 for an ideal combination of Alfalfa and 
New Strain Brome. Sow about 15-20 lbs. per acre. If 
your land will not grow alfalfa you can use 5 or 6 lbs. 
of Red Clover per acre with 10 to 15 lbs. of Brome. 
Some like a pound of Ladino Clover mixed in for pas- 
ture. 
Berry’s New Strain Brome is the best developed to 
date we know about. Our seed is recleaned and ship- 
ment is guaranteed to please you in every respect.
