New Strain Sal

Bushel of 14 lbs. $3.40 
Brome Grass is in bigger demand than ever before. Last year the pro- 
duction of domestic seed was rather drastically curtailed. This year you can 
again get the New Strain Brome and at a very reasonable cost. 
Read page 17 of our general catalogue for full description of this variety. 
This type of Brome can grow further south, seems to be easier to get a stand, 
makes a taller growth in sections from Iowa on south, and for those sections 
New Strain is highly recommended. From Northern Iowa on eis the others 
seem to do about equally well. 2 
We urge you to establish this very profitable, heavy-yielding drought re- 
sisting grass which is widely adapted and liked by all livestock. It is an 
excellent seeding for waterways where the ground is hot too wet. You can 
start growing it either in the Spring or in the Fall. Sow 20 pounds per acre . 
when you sow it alone; or combine it with other grasses or clovers or alfalfa 
as described below. \ 
Let us take care of you on Brome now. 


Canadian No. I Brome 
$21.00 per 100 Ibs.—$12.60 50 Ibs. 
Canadian No. 1 is heavy seed and far superior in weight, quality and 
#! germination to most of the southern strain seed that can be found this year. 
Our stock of Canadian No. 1 is practically on a par with the certified seed — 
and for practical results one should do as well as the other for you. Shipment 
is guaranteed satisfactory in every way.

Srome -Alfalfa Combination 
$28.00 per 100 Ibs.—$14.10 for 50 Ibs. : 
There are two special reasons for growing Brome Grass in combination 
with Alfalfa or other legumes. Some use Red and Ladino Clover but Alfalfa 
is most commonly used. It stands heat and drought about the same as Brome. 
Brome grass is a heavy feeder of nitrogen. If you grow it alone the yields go 
down rather rapidly unless you grow a. nitrogen gathering crop with it or 
apply nitrogen fertilizer. 


Alfalfa is one of the best nitrogen putterine Geers: Therefore it helps rou 
up the soil fertility. Thus Brome grows better and is higher in feeding value.. 
At the same time you have the value of the alfalfa crop itself in your hay 
or pasture. Alfalfa mixed ‘with Brome does not seem to bloat stock like Alfalfa 
alone may do when used as a pasture. 
An ‘excellent combination is 70% Brome and 30% alfalfa sown at the rate 
of about 20 pounds per acre. We have a combination on which.we ship seed 
like our World Brand Midwestern grown Lot Oak, Dakota 12 type Alfalfa and 
New Strain No. 1 Brome. The seed is shipped separately as it does not stay. 
properly mixed in shipping. Furthermore the seed is generally sown separ-_ 
ately. We consider the combination a very good one that gives you high | 
quality seed at reasonable cost. On an order for 50 lbs. you will receive 
35 lbs. of Brome and 15 lbs. of Alfalfa. You can save money on your seed 
needs at Berrys.
