Here’s the grass that is coming 
to be more popular every year 
throughout the Northwest. During 
the months of August and Septem- 
ber, you will find ideal for plant- 
ing Reed Canary grass. It is fine 
for waterway plantings, along 
ditches and waterways in contour 
planting and it doesn’t mind wet 
feet. It can stand the low wet spots 
where other grasses or clovers 
would fail. 
This fine perennial grass will 
last for years after it becomes 
established. It makes good pas- 
ture or hay either one, planted by 
itself or along with other grass 
crops if you prefer.

mine to mow it!”
