1947 SPRING CATALOG I) 
ALFALFA AND CLOVERS 
With the removal of ceiling prices for seeds, the price of some 
items advanced quite sharply. This was especially true of the North- 
‘ern Grown seed produced and planted in our section of the country. 
In spite of nation-wide shortages in these seeds, we believe we will 
have ample stocks to take care of requirements in the territory we serve.

ALFALFA—Most popular of the legumes in Wyoming for many years. 
Quality of alfalfa seed we have set aside for our retail trade is 
very good, but limited to Grimm and Common varieties. Offering's 
of additional seed from growers is very slow, so we will probably 
be navle to purchase much more this year. Secure your supplies 
early. 
RED CLOVER—Valuable legume crop, usually grown in mixture with 
Timothy. Becoming more popular each year, as it is not bothered 
by weevil. We should mention too, that Red Clover is a very 
profitable crop to grow for seed here. Our stock is all local grown 
seed. 
ALSIKE—A clover that is valuable in mixtures for either hay or pas- 
tures. While it does well in ordinary soils, it will thrive in soils 
too wet for either red clover or alfalfa. It will not bloat stock. 
SWEET CLOVER—While some consider sweet clover a nuisance, it 
has proven itself one of the best soil builders ever cultivated. Very 
useful planted with dry land grasses for pasture, as it will provide 
feed before the slow starting grasses become established. We 
have both White and Yellow Blossom. 
GRASS SEEDS 
Know your grasses that you may determine which are best adapted 
to the soil and moisture condition you have. Native grasses are be- 
yond doubt the hardiest grasses grown. But with the greater number 
of cattle and sheep being produced today we are confronted with the 
problem of sowing domestic grasses and legumes in selected places 
which will give a greater return in tonnage than natural native grass. 
The proper mixture of grasses and legumes will often double or even 
treble the amount of stock feed, either in hay or pasture, that would 
otherwise be produced. Many of our customers have profited by the 
help we are able to give them in making the proper selection of grass _ 
seed. We are very much interested that you get results when buying 
MOUNTAINEER BRAND SEEDS.

BROME GRASS—Noted for its. ability to make a good growth early 
in the season when weather is still too cold for many other grasses 
to start. Splendid to pasture early before moving stock to moun- 
tain range. Cattle relish it more than sheep. Valuable to mix with 
alfalfa as it helps keep down bloat, keeps cheat out, and makes 
much better fall pasture than straight alfalfa. Drought resistant. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Excellent in pasture mixture and exceptionally 
good to mix with alfalfa for hay as it is early maturing and ready 
to cut with first cutting alfalfa, and comes back fast to make a 
good increase in tonnage for second crop. In years past the high 
price of orchard has kept some from using it, but this year’s prices 
make it a really good buy, and many ranchers will want to use 
more of this grass,
