20 NORTHERN SEED COMPANY 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—One of the best pasture grasses, but not 
so good for hay. This year the crop is extremely short and the | 
price high. Not recommended for farm use at present prices. Blue 
grass comes into most meadows of its own accord in this country, 
as it is widely scattered on our irrigated lands. 

MEADOW FESCUE-—Also known as English Blue Grass. Similar to — 
Kentucky Blue Grass, but is somewhat larger and coarser. Much 
better for hay and desirable in pasture mixtures. Will stand con- 
scorer drought and is a good lawn grass where irrigation is not 
available 
RED TOP—The chief use of this grass is for pasture or meadow in 
ground too wet to stand other grasses. Mix with Alsike Clover 
for seeding low, swampy spots. Very good quality feed. Stands 
eae well, and can be. sown in timber, or used in Shady Lawn 
ixture. 
TIMOTH Y—Mixed with a small amount of Alsike or Red Clover, this 
will produce more hay in one crop than almost any crop. Its true 
feed value is as a hay crop cut and cured at the proper time (be- 
fore it is too ripe). Ideal for feeding range cattle and perhaps 
the best horse hay there is. 
HUNTLEY PASTURE MIXTURE—Originally put out according to a 
formula of the Huntley (Montana) Station. The true Huntley 
Mixture contains 20% each of Brome, Orchard, Meadow Fescue 
and Kentucky Blue Grass, and 10% each of Alsike and White 
Dutch Clover. An excellent mixture that will provide pasture from 
early spring throughout the season. We do not recommend this 
mixture this year on account of the extreme high price of Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass, and will mix it only on special order. 
MODIFIED HUNTLEY MIXTURE—Due to the fact that many of our 
ranchers want to use mixtures of grasses and clover for a crop 
of hay after using the meadow for early pasture, and then again 
for fall pasture, we offer the following modification of the original 
Huntley mixture: 30% Brome, 30% Orchard, 20% Meadow Fescue, 
15% Alsike, 5% White Dutch Clover. This mixture makes more 
hay on account of the larger percentage of taller grasses and Alsike 
Clover. By pasturing early, stock hold back the early grasses, and 
cause the growth to be more uniform at haying time. 
NOTE: There is one thing to always keep in mind when 
planting mixtures for either hay or pasture: Legumes are not 
only valuable for their feeding value, but also for the plant 
food they furnish the grass by putting nitrates into the soil. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS—Very similar to Western Wheat and other 
native “Blue Stem” grasses. Ideal for good dry land for either 
summer or winter grazing. Not recommended for light or poor 
soils. Will make excellent hay, and more of it than most native 
grasses with a fair amount of moisture. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—Hardiest and most drought resistant of 
the cultivated grasses. Makes an excellent dry land hay crop, and 
also good summer pasture. Stockmen do not consider it a good 
winter range grass. 
IT GREATLY ENHANCES BOTH THE YIELD AND THE FEEDING 
QUALITY OF THE FEED TO USE TREBLE SUPERPHOSPHATE ON 
YOUR IRRIGATED ALFALFA AND YOUR HAY MEADOWS OR 
PASTURES.
