THE MIRACLE GRASS 
Also Known As Phalaris 
This grass is a perennial and lasts several 
years. It will establish a heavy sod on land too 
wet for other crops. It is easy to eradicate. 
This grass is best adapted for low wet land, al- 
; though it has been found to produce paying 
crops on drained land and up land. It roots fairly deep. It is a wonderful 
drought resister. During a dry season when other grasses and forage crops 
were practically a failure, Reed’s Canary Grass produced 3 tons of hay per 
acre. 
' Seeding and Soil Requirements

half of the U. S. Thrives on sour soil. Grows standing in 
water. Reed’s Canary Grass can be sown in spring or fall.
