ROSWELL SEED COMPANY 
23 
FIELD SEEDS (Continued) 
Will mature in 110 days or following an 
oat or barley crop. Plant 8 pounds of 
seed per acre in 36 inch rows. Late plant- 
ing preferred but not later than early 
July. 
HEGARI—Arizona Certified. The same 
as the above with some contention that 
it matures sooner on a slightly shorter 
stalk. Very uniform in grain and stalk. 
JAPANESE HONEY DRIP CANE—De- 
sirable for sorghum molasses and ensil- 
age. Matures in 125 to 140 days. The 
tall heavy stalk makes it a heavy produc- 
er of fodder. Stalks are sweet with many 
joints. 
RED TOP or SUMAC CANE—This has 
long been a favorite fodder crop of the 
Southwest. It will mature in 100 to 105 
days and on very little moisture. 
Barley 
CLUB MARIOUTT—A large kernel and 
a heavy producer on a short stalk. If 
planted in February it will mature in 
time to be followed by hegari. 
CONWAY—A heavy yielding spring bar- 
ley, developed by our own A. & M. Col- 
lege. 
TREBI—A proven crop and good produc- 
er in the Southwest, may be planted in 
spring or fall. 
NEW MEXICO WINTER—Developed in 
our state. Excellent for fall and winter 
pasture, one of our heaviest grain yield- 
ers. Plant from middle August through 
November, using 70 to 100 lbs. seed per 
acre. 
Rye 
WINTER—Stools and grows well in cold 
weather, making it one of the best for 
fall and winter pasture. This crop can be 
produced on poor soil with little moist- 
ure and is often turned under for soil 
building. Plant 60 to 90 lbs. per acre in 
the middle of August for the best fall 
pasture. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS—A hard red, spring wheat. 
Standard for Western irrigated soils. 
Beardless and short stiff straw. 
TURKEY RED WINTER — The most 
popular beard variety in the Southwest. 
Desired by millers. 
Oats 
FERGUSON RED NO. 922—This variety 
has produced some of our best yields, 
often 100 busheis per acre of large heavy 
red grain, around 40 lbs. per bushel. 
Stools more than others. Plant in August 
and September or March and April using 
100 lbs. seed per acre. 
TEXAS RED RUST PROOF—For years 
this has been a standard in the Pecos 
Valley where it is still a good producer. 
Not recommended for altitudes above 
6000 feet, where it will mildew. 
Pasture Grasses 
SUDAN GRASS—A fast growing annual 
which produces an abundance of summer 
pasture. Often cut for hay or will make 
silage. Requires irrigation in the Pecos 
Valley. The rain fall of eastern New Mex- 
ico and Western Texas is sufficient for 
this crop during most seasons. Plant af- 
ter danger of frost, using 5 lbs. seed per 
acre in 36 inch rows. Sometimes broad- 
cast with 20 to 50 lbs. per acre. 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS—This develop- 
ment, from the above, has a sweet stalk 
and is recommended as a heavy yielder 
of fodder. A comparison in the Pecos 
Valley has not been made to our satis- 
faction. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—(Standard 
Strain)—A perennial bunch grass that 
does well in high altitudes. Among the 
first to start growing in the spring. The 
fine stem and leaf makes a good pasture. 
Drought resisting. May be planted in the 
spring or fall. 6 to 10 lbs. seed per acre, 
often used in mixtures. 
JOHNSON GRASS—A perennial classed 
as noxious in many states and constantly 
fought by Southern farmers but is valu- 
able to the semi-arid sections that have 
land subject to periodical overflow where 
it will provide good pasture and hay. Re- 
sponds to cultivation. 
MIXTURES—We can supply those seeds 
desired for mixtures, such as: Orchard 
Grass, Alta Fescue, Brome Grass, Mea- 
dow Fescue, Perennial English Rye, Do- 
mestic Rye and clovers, such as: Straw- 
berry, Alsike, Ladino. Your inqiries ap- 
preciated. 
Millets 
BIG GERMAN—tThe small stems and 
narrow leaves make good hay or pasture, 
quickly grown in summer months. Long 
tight heads produce abundance of grain. 
HOG MILLET or PROSO—The quickest 
making catch crop. Will mature grain in 
45 to 50 days. Low growing sprangled 
heads. Grain is larger than Big German 
and makes excellent poultry feed. Often 
sown for pasture and hay.
