* «Grown Brome 
Grows Anywhere—Very Winter Hardy—High Feeding 
Value. 
Brome is one of.the. most valuable grasses’ for the livestock farmer. It is a 
perennial and lasts several years. During a severe drought, pastures of Blue Grass 
and other native grasses usually fade out, but Brome Grass keeps green and right 
on growing.» Starts very early in. spring... Brome is more palatable than other 
grasses. Relished by all livestock. -Brome roots go down 4 or 5 feet, yet not diffi- 
cult to eradicate. The plants grow up 3 feet or more, depending on soil fertility. 
Stands severe winters. Does well on most.’any kind of soil. Shows good results 
on clay and sandy loams, if not too low in fertility. Is used for the prevention 
of soil erosion. 
‘Brome Is a Superior Grass and Money Maker 
It has about the _same percentage of nutritive elements as Alfalfa. The carry- 
ing capacity of Brome is ‘almost double that.of Blue Grass or other native grasses. 
Hasan extra long growing season. When Brome is sown with Alfalfa or Clover, 
it. is: more palatable than other grasses and is readily eaten by livestock, the same 
as the Alfalfa and Clover. If your land will not grow Alfalfa, sow 3 or 4 lbs. 
Red Clover or Alsike with the Brome. Some add one pound Ladine. per acre with 
the Brome. No danger of livestock bloating when Brome. is used. 
For a Good Stand 
fem Oe a good solid seed bed as you would for Alfalfa. 
and does not feed readily through a drill. Mixing some cracked corn, oats, or sand 
with the Brome and keeping it stirred act as an agitator in. working it through the 
drill or seeder. Some use an end gate seeder. Some sow by hand on a still day; 
Cover seed lightly, about % to %4 inch deep. If possible, roll after seeding. It is 
slow in starting and does not make a big showing the first year. Best results are 
obtained by sowing with some Alfalfa or Clover. This Brome free from quack grass.

BROME and ALFALFA MIXTURE 
Rich Mixture for Big Profits 
107% No. 1 Brome Grass—30% Hardy 
Alfalfa 
~This is a valuable combination. Brome and Alfalfa work 
mighty well in putting growth, fat and finish on livestock. 
Alfalfa feeds nitrogen to the Brome and prevents it from be- 
coming sod-bound. The deep fibrous Brome roots aid Alfalfa 
in holding the soil. Brome and Alfalfa seem to last longer 
when sown together. They produce 25 to 50% more hay than 
' Brome sown alone. i 
One Iowa farmer reports that after three years ‘of Brome- 
Alfalfa pasture, his yield of corn was 15 to 20 bu. -higher. Another farmer in the 
Corn Belt, who followed a five year rotation program with Brome and Alfalfa, 
produced 119 bu. of corn per acre on first veer sod. Also a yield of 100 bu. oats 
per acre. S 
~The mixture offered above is about the rete proportion. It is 70% No. 1 Brome, 
30 % hardy Alfalfa with a purity of 97% or better. Both have high germination. 
Brome seed is light, so we have to ship in prepagate bags. .They should be sown 
separately.

More Facts About 
Brome Grass 
Experiment stations of 
Illinois, Michigan and other 
states in thé Corn Belt; 
have been recommending 
Brome Grass as a valuable 
grass. They advise sowing 
Alfalfa or other legumes 
with Brome. They have 
found. by sowing 38 or 4 






































pounds of Alfalfa with i 
about 16 or 17 pounds of & 
Brome per acre, it increases 4 
the hay tonnage around =a 
25 percent over straight pe 


Brome Grass. When sown 
alone use 20 to 22 lbs. per 
acre. If you have the least 
doubt about this valuable 
erop, write your own State 
Experiment Station for a 

















tion. States from Nebraska 
to New York State, all rec- 
ommend Brome, and Brome 
and legumes mixed. 











Alfalfa and Brome silage 
is a life saver for the dairy- 
man. Records show an Il- 
linois dairy _farmer who 
feeds Alfalfa-Brome silage 
to his herd makes 40% more 
profit than an average dairy 
herd in his area He feeds 












coneentrates and grain. 
When putting this mixture- 
in silo, it is wise to mix in 
some ear corn to keep the 
silage in good condition. 











For a pasture some farm- 
ers add Sweet Clover to 
their mixture of Brome, 
Alfalfa and other Clovers. 
A Brome legume combina-. 
tion will care for more 
livestock per acre than any 
straight grass or mixture. 
Never any trouble with 
livestock bloating when a 
good percentage of Bro 
is in the pasture.
