Olds’ Grasses 
Timothy 
(Sow 10 to 15 pounds to the acre.) 
Timothy for years has been the standard and most widely 
grown hay grass. It is indispensable as a hay for horses. It 
is an easily grown low-cost crop and seed is cheap. Probably 
the most profitable grass to grow where conditions permit its 
cultivation. A short lived perennial usually lasting four or 
five years. It is satisfactory for pasturing just a short period. 
Timothy prefers a sweet soil and thrives best on rich moist 
bottom lands and heavy types of soil. It is a nitrogen feeding 
plant and should follow a legume crop. 
Our timothy seed is the purest and best that can be ob- 
tained. It is all thoroughly recleaned and free from noxious 
ayecds with high tests, most of it testing 99.6 per cent purity 
or better.

Crested Wheat Grass. 
Crested Wheat Grass 
FAIRWAY STRAIN 
(Sow fifteen pounds per acre.) 
A new grass especially suited for semi- 
arid conditions which will endure long 
periods of drought without injury. Growth 
begins very early in the spring and the 
grass thrives during the cool weather of 
spring and fall. The value for hay and 
pasture compares favorably with Brome 
Grass, averaging about 300 pounds more 
per acre in a season. Stands up well un- 
der close grazing and will provide excel- 
lent pasture at both ends of the season 
when it is most needed. Heavy root 
growth makes it splendid for controlling 
weeds. Seeding should be done on well 
prepared soil, preferably with a nurse 
erop especially on drier soils. Early and 
shallow planting are important. Excel- 
lent for lawns, golf course fairways, rural 
school grounds, etc., in dry regions or 
where artificial water is not available.

A 
61 
Field of Wisconsin Reed Canary Being Cut for Hay 
Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis) 
King of Pasture Grasses. 
A hardy perennial with strong growing 
root stalks which make a thick firm turf. 
Does exceedingly well on dry, loose soil. Its 
unusual drought-resisting powers recommend 
it for general cultivation. Produces a large 
yield of highly palatable and nutritious hay. 
It is slow to start and we advise to sow 
with a nurse crop when grown for hay. 
Best grass for permanent pastures, even bet- 
ter than blue grass. Plant with alfalfa on 
high land and Ladino Clover on low ground. 
Seed early in spring or late summer at the 
rate of 20 to 28 lbs. of seed to the acre.

Reed Canary Grass 
BRINGS LOW GROUND INTO 
PRODUCTION 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable new 
perennial hay and pasture crop especially 
desirable for low, marshy land. Nothing like 
it has been thus far produced as it puts land 
that is just dead waste into production of 
valuable forage. Continues to grow without 
eare or attention. Very highly recommended 
by the Wisconsin and Minnesota experiment 
stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing sea- 
son as it starts very early in the spring, and 
beginning before June Ist, will furnish an 
abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good 
quality hay better than timothy and far 
superior to wild hay. Ordinarily two or more 
cuttings can be made in a season. As high 
as seven tons of hay per acre have been pro- 
duced in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or 
with timothy, 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre 
broadcast, or 2 to 3 pounds with drill. Late 
summer and late fall seeding are also recom- 
mended. It makes a permanent grass when 
once established. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50,
