REED CANARY GRASS 
@ A Remarkable Perennial Grass Grows on Upland, 
and also on very wet land. 
This leafy palatable hay producing grass will yield 3 to 
5 tons of cured hay per acre in two cuttings. It will grow 
on land so wet that cattle would bog down on it, and yet 
make a sod so strong it would support a team and wagon. 
It grows from early spring till late fall. If not cut attains 
a height of 5 to 6 feet. It is one of the finest grasses that 
can be grown for soil erosion work, and makes a very dense 
sod. It is adapted to a wide area. It is grown from the 
Atlantic to the Pacific, as far south as eastern Tennessee. 
Fall seedings can be made along in August or early September. Some prepare 
a seed bed in the fall, and sow very late,-so the seed will not germinate until 
the next year. That generally is in the month of October, depending upon 
location. Around 6 to 8 pounds sows an acre. For a crop that will give you a 
big rich yield of hay on either wet land or under drouth conditions, there 
is no crop like Reeds Canary Grass.

CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
This is a very remarkable drouth resistant grass, and also 
extremely winter hardy. It has produced stands wnder almost 
unbelievable dry conditions, and it is almost impessible to kill 
it through winter damage. In extremely hot weather it becomes 
somewhat dormant, but it starts up again when cooler weather 
tevives it. It will be easier to establish it further south by sowing 
in the fall than in the spring. It is especially valuable as a 
pasture grass, but also makes high quality hay. Sow about 10 lbs. 
per acre. It is well adapted to fall seedings.

ORCHARD GRASS 
- $22.50 per 100 Ibs. 
Many people are overlooking the 
great value of this wonderful grass. 
It starts growing very early in the 
spring and grows late in the season. 
It wiil stand more shade than most 
grasses. It is very valuable to mix 
with other grasses for pasture pur- 
poses. The seed of this grass has been 
rather high and scarce, due to a 
tremendous demand from Europe, 
where it is very widely grown and in 
big demand. Sow 20 lbs. to the acre. 
We can take good care of you on 
Orchard Grass this fall

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Seed Supplies Again Short 
Unfavorable weather conditions cut the production of 
Blue Grass seed very sharply this year. The amount of 
seed produced, plus seed carried over im some sections, is 
not equal to a normal demand. There is not enough to go 
around. Prices advanced shanply during harvesting as seed 
houses bid up in order to get seed. . 
We were fortunate in being located in a section that had 
a good seed crop. Therefore our seed supplies are very nice, 
but supplies are short. It is our opinion that prices by next 
spring may be very much higher. Blue Grass is still cheap in comparison 
with other grasses and prices. 
Blue Grass is well adapted to fall seeding. Start new pastures or thicken 
up old ones this fall. Whether you use it this fall or next spring, buy your 
anaes now and we are positive you will make big savings. Our seed is high 
quality.

EXTRA FANCY RED TOP 
. If you have difficulty in getting a stand of grass, try Red Top, as it 
is almost certain to make a stand. There is no other grass that will grow 
under greater variety of conditions as Red Top. It will grow on very poor 
soil although it will respond well to increased soil fertility. 
Next to Reed Canary Grass, this is the best thing for wet 
land. It is also strongly drouth resistant. It thrives from 
Canada to the Gulf, New York to California. It forms a 
turf quickly. It is excellent for soil erosion work. If 
sown alone use around 10 lbs. to the acre, or mix it in with 
other grasses like Blue Grass, Timothy or Orchard Grass 
for pasture purposes. We have beautiful quality seed for 
you in our Extra Fancy grade. If you demand the best 
it will please you. 
LOT TIM 
Red Top with Timothy 
$19.50 per 100 lbs. 
Red Top and Timothy are very fre- 
quently grown together. In this Lot Top 
we have a lot of Red Top which con- 
tains some Timothy, the percentage will 
vary somewhat, but it will run in excess 
of 50% Red Top. Since the Red Top 
seeds are extremely small, that means a 
great many tore Red Top seeds than 
Timothy. 10 Ibs. per acre makes a full 
seeding. This popular value is used in 
large quantities by our trade. We believe 
that you will like it very much.
