Bromegrass 
It is long-lived, perennial, more cold- and drought-resistant than most 
grasses and adapted to a wide range of soil types and climatic conditions. 
It grows about as tall as Timothy, is very leafy, palatable, and highly 
nutritious even when well-matured and seeds have formed. 
It should always be seeded with a legume such as Ladino Clover or 
Alfalfa and is exceptionally palatable to all classes of livestock over a 
wide range of maturity, either as pasture or as hay. 
Bromegrass keeps growing in the summer months and continues to 
have green leaves even when the heads have matured seed in mid-July. — 
Following grazing or mowing for hay, it recovers quickly, making de- 
sirable second, third and fourth crops during a single season. 
The usual rate of seeding is 8 to 10 lbs. of Bromegrass with an equal 
quantity of Alfalfa or 1 or 2 lbs. of Ladino Clover. Seeding can be done 
in early spring or in late July or August, whenever the soil moisture is 
favorable. Even later summer seeding is satisfactory. 
Have a firm seed bed, seed shallow and firm the soil after seeding.

Ladino Clover 
This is regarded as a giant form of the common White Dutch Clover, 
and like the latter is a long-lived perennial. Its growth, however, is 
more luxuriant. Makes excellent hay, yet roots are shallow enough to 
permit plowing up when desired. Needs moisture, especially on starting, 
but succeeds on soils too moist for alfalfa. Best sown mixed with other 
grasses or clover, about 2 to 3 pounds per acre. We predict that within 
5 or 10 years, dairymen will be growing this clover almost 100 per cent.
