Crested Wheat Grass. 
Crested Wheat Grass 
FAIRWAY STRAIN 
(Sow fifteen pounds per acre.) 
A new grass especially suited for semi- 
arid conditions which will endure long 
periods of drought without injury. Growth 
begins very early in the spring and the 
grass thrives during the cool weather of 
spring and fall. The value for hay and 
pasture compares favorably with Brome 
Grass, averaging about 300 pounds more 
per acre in a season. Stands up well un- 
der close grazing and will provide excel- 
lent pasture at both ends of the season 
when it is most needed. Heavy root 
growth makes it splendid for controlling 
weeds. Seeding should be done on well 
prepared soil, preferably with a nurse 
crop especially on drier soils. Early and 
shallow planting are important. Excel- 
lent for lawns, golf course fairways, rural 
school grounds, etc., in dry regions or 
where artificial water is not available. 
Prices: Certified Canadian No. 1, 1 Ib., 
45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. Write for 
prices on bulk quantities. 



A Seed Field of Brome Grass 
Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis) 
King of Fasture Grasses. 
A hardy perennial with strong growing 
root stalks which make a thick firm turf. 
Does exceedingly well on dry, loose soil. Its 
unusual drought-resisting powers recommend 
it for general cultivation. Produces a large 
yield of highly palatable and nutritious hay. 
It is slow to start and we advise to sow 
with a nurse crop when grown for hay. 
Best grass for permanent paStures, even bet- 
ter than blue grass. Plant with alfalfa on 
high land and

Reed Canary Grass 
BRINGS LOW GROUND INTO 
PRODUCTION 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable new 
perennial hay and pasture crop especially 
desirable for low, marshy land. Nothing like 
it has been thus far produced as it puts land 
that is just dead waste into production of 
valuable forage. Continues to grow without 
care or attention. Very highly recommended 
by the Wisconsin and Minnesota experiment 
stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing sea- 
son as it starts very early in the spring, and 
beginning before June Ist, will furnish an 
abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good 
quality hay better than timothy and far 
superior to wild hay. Ordinarily two or more 
cuttings can be made in a season. As high 
as seven tons of hay per acre have been pro- 
duced in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or 
with timothy, 4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre 
broadcast, or 2 to 8 pounds with drill. Late 
summer and late fall seeding are also recom- 
mended. It makes a permanent grass when 
once established.

10 Ibs., 
postpaid. By freight or express f.o.b, Madi-
