Clovers 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER—Grows well on 
low, wet land where Red Clover does not thrive. 
Alsike being a perennial, will last for a good many 
years, either for hay or in pasture. It makes fine 
hay of high feeding value. It is very valuable in 
pastures, especially on wet or heavy soil. Sow 6 
to 10 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. 
Prices quoted on request, crop short. 
LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover)—Lespedeza grows on 
poor soils and increases the fertility as well as 
improves the physical condition of the soil. It is 
an annual but will reseed itself each year so that 
only one sowing is necessary for a permanent 
pasture. For pasture about 8 pounds of seed is 
required per acre. On tilled land for hay or for a 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Standard or Forage 
Strain)—It is a drought resistant, long-lived grass. 
It is equal or better, in feed value for hay or 
pasture to Brome Grass, Slender Wheat Grass, 
Western Wheat Grass and is relished by live- 
stock and yields as well or better. It is adapted to 
a wide range of soil types. It is easily plowed 
up and can be killed by plowing, even though it 
has an extensive root system. Should be sown 
on a well prepared soil, which contains a suffi- 
cient amount of moisture to give the crop a good 
start. The seed should be put in not over a half 
inch deep either with or without a nurse crop 
Best without a nurse crop. Sow seed at the rate 
of 10 lbs. per acre, either broadcasted or drilled in 
or from 4 to 5 pounds per acre when planted ip 
3-foot rows, to be cultivated and raised primarily 
for a seed crop. 
Postpaid (lb. 45c) (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50). 
seed crop 10 to 12 pounds per acre should be sown. 
Korean Lespedeza is palatable to all classes of 
live stock, particularly cattle. 
Postpaid (lb. 40c) (5 Ibs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.00). 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Fairway Strain)—This 
differs from the above in that it does not grow 
quite as tall and is more leafy and under most 
conditions will produce as much hay per acre as 
the Standard Strain. The Fairway has more uses 
and can be used in lawns, fairways, boulevards: 
school yards, parks, farm lawns and in areas 
where water is not readily available. 
Postpaid (Ib. 45c) (5 Ibs. $2.00) (10 Ibs. $3.50). 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER—Fits better into crop rota- 
tion than any other legume. It will increase the 
yield of succeeding crops besides furnishing many 
tons of hay of high protein content. It is a bi- 
ennial which means that it will grow for two sea- 
sons only and then must be reseeded. Requires 
medium rich well drained soil. Sow 8 to 12 lbs. 
per acre. 
Postpaid (1b. 50c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.25). 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER—Resembles Medium Red 
Clover but grows taller and the hay is coarser. It 
is hardy and valuable for fertilizing poor soil. 
Sow 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
’ Postpaid (Ib. 50c) (5 lbs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.25). 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER (Trifelium Fragiferum)— 
Is primarily a pasture crop. It thrives on wet, 
seepy ground, which may be crusty with alkali and 
is apparently more resistant to alkali than any 
other clover. It is capable of spreading and es- 
tablishing itself by its stout creeping runners. 
Three to five pounds will seed an acre. 
Postpaid (ib. $2.50). Supply Limited. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Blue. Stem)—Is a 
drought resistant, long-lived perennial grass. Pro- 
duces excellent forage for grazing and hay. 
Prices quoted on request, crop short. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS, for Pasture—One of the 
best grasses for pasture and lawns. It starts to 
grow very early in the spring and remains green 
late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry 
land or places that are quite moist. 
Postpaid (lb. 75e) (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $7.25). 
MBADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—Of 
great value for permanent pasture and for hay. 
Does best on strong land. Grows 2 feet high. Makes 
a finer and better quality of hay than Orchard 
Grass. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Postpaid (1b. 60c) (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. $5.25). 
LADINO CLOVER—Is regarded as a tall form of 
White Dutch Clover. It is a low growing, leafy 
plant with succulent and somewhat coarse stems.

For Hay and Pasture 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis)—Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay, and affords early and 
abundant pasture. It adapts itself to almost any 
condition of soil and climate and to any use to 
which grass may be put. The roots penetrate the 
soil deeply and form fresh plants on every side. 
It starts from two to three weeks earlier in the 
spring than native prairie grass, and keeps green 
in autumn longer than any of the useful grasses 
grown in the West. No amount of cold seems to 
affect it, and it surpasses all other grasses in 
resisting heat and drought. It equals timothy for 
hay, and is splendid to sow with alfalfa, clover, 
meadow fescue or orchard grass for pasture. 
Postpaid (lb. 50c) (5 lbs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
MOUNTAIN BROME (Bromus Marginatus)—Is a 
stout perennial bunch grass, with a wide range 
of soil adaptation, varying from moist loamy soils, 
to dry, gravelly soils. When young can be grazed 
closely by all classes of livestock. It also makes 
fine feed for horses and cattle when cut for hay. 
Sold Out. 
ALTA OR TALL FESCUE—Tall Fescue is rapidly 
gaining in popularity and has supplanted Meadow 
Fescue in many areas. It is somewhat coarse but 
is more drought-resistant, more productive, and 
more alkali-tolerant. Livestock find it fully as 
palatable. The growth period and other charac- 
teristics are the same except that Meadow Fescue 
is preferable on marshy lands. 
Postpaid (lb. 90c) (5 lbs. $4.25) (10 Ibs. $8.25). 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS—A desirable grass for pas- 
ture. It forms a heavy close sod and grows up 
quickly after being eaten or cut off. It is also a 
good grass for hay if cut when in bloom. It affords 
good pasture after the hay is cut. Does best on 
rather moist and heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 pounds 
of seed per acre. 
Postpaid (lb. 40c) (5 Ibs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.25). 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—A very valuable variety 
for permanent pasture. Succeeds well on almost 
any soil, but is particularly adapted to moderately 
moist or irrigated lands. Sow 30 to 40 pounds 
per acre in spring. 
Postpaid (lb. 55c) (5 Ibs. $2.50) (10 Ibs, $4.75). 
RED TOP (Solid Seed)—Valuable for low land, as 
it is not injured by water. It also grows well on 
high land. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, and makes very 
good hay. Finest recleaned seed. Sow 8 to 18 
pounds per acre.
