Sour BROME GRASS this fall 
_* Berry 
One of the most successful ways to get started with Brome Grass 
is to sow it in the early fall, about the time that you would normally 
sow Alfalfa. You can then sow the Brome Grass alone if you wish 
although the addition of Alfalfa is generally recommended. The 
Alfalfa keeps up the nitragen content of the soil, therefore the Brome 
will last longer and will be higher feeding value. 
You should prepare the seed bed by discing your land thoroughly. Discing 
is preferable to plowing. A thorough discing and harrowing is good. In sowing 
the Brome Grass or Brome and Alfalfa mixed be sure not to cover the seed too 
deeply. If you cover it too deep it will be slow in coming and some of the seed 
will not come at all. Seed that is covered lightly and sown on a good well pre- 
pared fine but firm seed bed will come fairly rapidly. Make it a practice to roll 
the ground, if at all possible, after seeding. When Brome is sown with a drill it 
takes about a half a bushel of Oats per acre with the Brome to help it feed 
through the drill. In this latitude sowing the latter part of August or first part 
of September gives satisfactory results. 
TIMOTHY 
World Brand *4°° per bu. 
Grasses may come and grasses may go, but Timothy goes on torever. 
For years this has been the backbone of the ‘ay grasses throughout the 
Corn-Belt. New grasses have come and been accepted like the Brome 
Grass, but the acreage of Timothy still runs at high levels. It is econom- 
ical to sow. It is a very easy grass to get started, It will grow on a very 
wide-range of soils, It adapts itself very well to rotation. You will find 
it an excellent combination with various Clovers, such as Red Clover and 
Alsike. You can sow Timothy in the fall and top seed Clover on it next 
spring and get wonderful results that way. We carry Timothy in different 
grades. The World Brand represents the very finest of Iowa Timothy, 
thoroughly recleaned, bright, heavy seed, generally tests 99.50 purity. We 
challenge the world on values with our World Brand Timothy at our 
present price. If you demand the best our World Brand is sure to please

New Low Prices on High Grade Brome 
Various types of Brome Grass are available. The Canadian 
Brome has been used for many years. The southern grown 
strains now rank higher in popular favor. They seem to 
stand hot weather better and yield materially more. Since 
this southern seed has become available the acreage on 
Brome Grass has expanded rapidly. The various new strains, 
we list simply as New Strain. The Domestic is largely Ne- 








_ will stand both wet and drouth. 




One of the Most Valuable Grasses 
You Can Grow 
Brome Grass is very palatable and very heavy in production. It will grow 
on a wide range of soils excepting we do not recommend it for wet land. It is 
grown mostly in the northern half of the U. S. but seems to be working its way 
south. Fall seedings permit the crop to get started during cooler growing 
weather and when thus established seem to stand the heat condition remarkably 
well. It can be used for pasture either alone or with Alfalfa. We do not recom- 
‘mend pasturing it too closely when grown in a mixture as that tends to kill 
out the Alfalfa. Stands of Brome can be maintained for many, many years 
gtown with Alfalfa or if fertilized periodically when grown alone. Sow 20 
pounds to the acre alone or 12 pounds of Brome and 8 pounds of Alfalfa makes 
a very good seeding. You can use any grade or variety of Alfalfa that you wish.

Master Mixture 
A Combination of Grasses Only 
This mixture is one of the most popular ones that we sell. Many of our 
mixtures contain clovers, and they are quite extensively used for spring seeding. 
For fall seeding however, or where the farmer has his own clover that he wants 
to mix in with the grasses, this Mixture is ideal. 
Grasses are hardier than clovers, and therefore can be sown quite late in the 
fall. Some grasses like Timothy for example are sown as late as Winter Wheat. 
We recommend a little earlier seeding where possible. You can use this next year 
as a straight permanent pasture or as stated, sow some clovers on top early next 
spring. : 
Our Master Mixture contains seeds of Brome Grass, Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Reed Canary Grass, Timothy, Red Top and Crested Wheat Grass. This 
gives-you a variety of seed. Livestock seems to like a variety. They are all peren- 
nials, some start earlier in the spring, and grasses like Brome will stand heat and 
drouth exceptionally well. Red Top grows most anywhere. Reed Canary Grass 
Timothy fills in well for

established. Prepare your seed bed as suggested above for 
Brome Grass and sow 18 to 20 lbs. per acre if you are making a 
new seeding, and 10 to 12 pounds if you are discing this in an 
old stand to thicken it up. We use good seed in this Mixture 
and mix it as thoroughly as we can, according to a definite 
form. We guarantee shipments to please you and the price to
