culatus. Recommended particularly for the coastal regions. 
Does well under a variety of soil conditions. Fall or spring 
planting. 4 lbs. to 6 lbs. per acre. 
Subterranean Clover. A new, popular winter annual legume 
for pastures, named because of its habit of bearing and de- 
veloping seed heads in the soil. Plant in mixtures for forage 
in fall or spring. 2 lbs. to 3 lbs. in combination with other 
grasses. 10 lbs. to 15 lbs. per acre, straight. We carry two 
strains Mt. Barker, mid-season strain, and Tallarook, a late

ALFALFA 
(12 to 15 Ibs. per acre). 
Domestic Alfalfa. Fancy Domestic High Altitude Seed. Hardy 
anywhere, high purity and germination. 
Grimm Alfalfa. State Sealed and Certified Seed. Grimm 
Alfalfa is the hardiest of the hardy Alfalfas and differs from 
the domestic or common variety in that it has a spreading 
root system instead of the long tap root which is sometimes 
broken when the ground bulges, during the spring freezes 
thus causing the plant to die. Highest grade seed. 
GRASSES 
Bromus Inermis (Awnless Brome Grass). The best grass we 
have for the semi-arid regions of the Northwest. Grows lux- 
uriantly, is freely eaten dry or green by cattle. Sow 25 to 30 
pounds per acre. Spring or fall. 
Meadow Fescue (Festuca Pratensis). This is a very valuable 
species for permanent grass lands and is relished by livestock 
both in hay and pasture. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre on well 
prepared soil. 
Alta or Tall Fescue. A grass rapidly gaining popularity in the 
Pacific Northwest. Very palatable for pastures. It is often 
combined with Subterranean Clover. It is more drought re- 
sistant and productive than Meadow Fescue. 8 lbs. to 10 Ibs. 
per acre in mixtures, 
Meadow Foxtail. Sometimes called Moistland Meadow Grass. 
It is planted for permanent palatable pastures on wet land. 
12 lbs. to 14 Ibs. per acre straight. 3 lbs. to 6 lbs. in mixtures. 
Oat Grass, Tall Meadow. The earliest grass to start in the 
spring and the last to die in the fall. Withstands drouth, heat 
and cold much better than other grasses. A long-lived, deep 
rooted perennial. Grows equally on bottom or upland. Pas- 
ture, 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Tualatin Grass. An improved Tall Meadow Oats. Used for pas- 
ture and hay. A recent introduction in the Pacific Northwest 
and rapidly gaining popularity. Fall or spring planting. 10 
lbs. to 15 lbs. per acre. 
Orchard Grass or Cocksfoot (Dactylis Glomerata). Valuable 
if planted alone or mixed with other grasses. Very often mixed 
with White Clover, Red Clover and Rye Grass. Seed should be 
broadcast at the rate of 30 pounds per acre on well prepared 
soil. : 
English Rye Grass (Lolium Perenne). A strong growing, hardy 
perennial grass, noted for its nutritive qualities. It is equally 
valuable for both grazing and hay. Pasture, 30 pounds per 
acre. 
Oregon Rye Grass. The finest rye grass grown, far superior 
to.imported. Pasture, 30 pounds per acre. 
Timothy (Phleum Fratense). This is the most valuable of all 
grasses for hay. Thrives best on moist, loamy soil. Sow early 
in the spring or fall. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Winter Blue Grass or Poa Bulbous, is seeded 15 to 20 lbs. 
per acre. It is used principaliy for winter pasture and hay. 
_Grows 8 to 16 inches, liking a well-drained location. Dormant 
in summer. 
Pasture Mixture for Burned-over Land. A blend of grasses 
for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splendid value and 
very economical for such purposes. Highland or lowland.

stock relish it. Drills. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre. Broadcast, 
16 to 20 pounds. 
Red Top (Agrostis Vulgaris). A valuable grass for most soils. 
It is a good, permanent grass. It should be fed close, ioye Ibe 
allowed to grow up to,seed, the cattle refuse it. It has been 
grown successfully on “alkali”? bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 15 to 20 
pounds of clean seed to the acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This makes the best, sweetest and most 
nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. It is very hardy and 
is uninjured by cold or dry weather, hot sun or tramping 
hoofs The roots are so thick and stout that they form a tough 
sod. Blue Grass requires two years to get well started and for 
that reason is often sown in mixture with other grasses. From 
20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
Crested Wheat Grass. This is the valuable plant that grows 
wild over our Western country and thrives well in semi-arid 
sections. It is the famous bunch grass of the Canadian North- 
west. It is one of the best and is the surest hay grass for these 
sections. It produces large quantities of hay and makes excel- 
lent permanent pasture. It withstands drought and the cold 
winters. As a mixture it does fine with Brome grass. 15 lbs. 
of seed is usually sown to the acre. 
Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is an extremely 
hardy perennial which successfully grows, produces hay and 
pasture on land too wet for common farm crops. It will not 
thrive on land covered by stagnant water, but will provide hay 
and pasture crop on land where the water table is practically 
at the surface of the soil all of the time and above the surface 
part of the time. Sow 4 to 6 pounds per acre broadcast. 
EARLY AMBER CANE

late in the spring, the crop requires warm weather and is 
drought-resistant. Should be planted in rows and cultivated 
like corn. 
MILLETS 
20 to 30 Ibs. per acre. 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec- 
tions. 
German or Golden (Panicum Germanicum). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 40 
to 60 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and pouitry. Also a good green fodder plant. 
Hog or Broomcorn. The seed is large for a Millet and is a rich 
food. The name ‘‘hog millet’’ is used to emphasize the use for 
which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs as well as 
for birds and poultry. 
OATS 
75 to 100 Ibs. per acre. 
Gray Winter Oats. Used as fall or winter. 
the spring for hay in coast sections. 
Spring White Oats. 
FIELD PEAS 
100 Ibs. per acre, or 80 Ibs. with 35 Ibs. oats. 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas will out- 
yield vetches 2 to 1. The vines and pods are almost as large 
and heavy as garden peas. The vines, like all legumes, are 
relished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas may be planted 
in cold weather and furnish a most valuable cover crop. 
RAPE 
3 Ibs. per acre drill—5 Ibs. per acre broadcast. 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas- 
turage for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutri- 
tious pasturage within six or eight weeks from the time of 
sowing. It also makes splendid green feed for poultry. 
RYE 
70 to 100 lbs. per acre. 
Spring Rye is an excellent soiler and can be produced on poor, 
worn out land under dry conditions where other grains would 
fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradi- 
cating wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut and 
cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing, thus making it a 
biennial. 
SOYBEANS 
35 to 50 Ibs. per acre. 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow, are excellent as a summer catch 
crop and splendid soil builders. Soybean hay is one of the best 
roughages and when mixed with corn they make splendid 
May be sown in 
ensilage. When harvested for seed, they should no: be cut 
until pods are fully matured and the beans hard. Plant in 
rows. 
SUNFLOWER 
California Gray Stripe. 
VETCH
