‘Hungarian Vetch. A fine stemmed an- 
nual making a semi-erect growth from 2% 
to 4 feet in length and somewhat hairy 
overall. The flowers are brownish white 
in color and are borne in groups of from 
2 to 8. Hungarian Vetch is quite winter 
hardy and is adapted to a wide range of 
soils; lands with poor drainage and lands 
that are heavy, sour and white will often 
produce crops of Hungarian Vetch while 
other crops have failed. 
Hairy Vetch, also known as Sand Vetch. 
The stems are slender, usually growing to 
an average length of 6 to 8 feet. The 
leaves are narrow, violet blue borne on 
long stems in dense one-sided clusters of 
about 30. Hairy vetch is quite winter 
hardy rarely winter killing if well estab- 
lished in the fall, adapted to a wide 
range of soils doing best on sandy or 
sandy loams but does not succeed in very 
wet soils. 
PASTURE GRASS SEED 
Brome Grass (Bromus Inermis). 20 pounds 
per acre. A long-lived Perennial with a 
creeping root-stock. These are much 
branched, roots at the joints and produces 
numerous upright stems, The stems are 
rather stout from 1 to 4 feet high, and 
carry many spreading, broad smooth 
leaves varying from light to dark green. 
The upright stems produced are scattered, 
therefore, the plants are not tufted but 
form loose mats. Brome Grass is adapted 
to regions of rather low rainfall, endures 
winter cold remarkably well and no 
other cultivated Perennial grass has 
shown a higher degree of drouth resist- 
ance, prefers rich loams and clay loams 
and has succeeded well in sandy soils. 
Cheat or Chess (Bromus Secalinus). A 
smooth annual grass from 1 to 3 feet tall 
with flat blades and open drooping 
panicles, sometimes grown as an annual 
hay crop, and should be cut when the 
seed is in the daugh stage. Adapted to 
the same soil conditions as wheat. The 
plants are similar to those of wheat and 
formerly the idea was held that cheat was 
a degenerative or changed form of wheat 
whence its name. 
Crested Wheat Grass (Agropyron Crista- 
tum). 15 pounds per acre. A _ hardy 
drouth-resistant Perennial bunch grass 
having an extensive root system, espe- 
cially adapted to regions where the 
temperatures are severe and the moisture 
supply is limited. The plants have a 
dense, dark green foliage during the 
early part of the season, after seeding the 
plants appear less leafy but the stems are 
fine and when harvested early makes hay 
of excellent quality, does well on prac- 
tically all soils ranging from light sandy 
loam to heavy clay. 
Fescue Alta (Festuca Elafor Var. Arun- 
dinacea). 12 to 14 pounds per acre. A 
deep-rooted long-lived perennial grass, 
having numerous dark green basal leaves. 
Attains heights of 3 to 4% feet. 
It has a wide range of climatic adapta- | 
tions and grows on a diversity of soils, 
preferring fertile, moist, rather heavy 
land, but will thrive on most Oregon 
type soils. It is very winter hardy and 
will tolerate poorly drained conditions, 
surviving in standing water for long 
periods during the winter when the 
plants are semi-dormant. 
Fescue Alta is an extremely popular grass 
because of its excellence in pastures, high 
yields of forage, deep root system and 
long growing season. 
It may be either fall or spring planted. 
Fall planting considered best for Western 
Oregon. 
Fescue Meadow (Festuca Elatoir). 920 
pounds per acre. A deep-rooted, long- 
lived Perennial. The stems are 18 to 24 
inches high, smooth, rather slender. Most 
of the leaves are produced by numerous 
sterile shoots from the root stock. The 
leaves are dark green, long and broad. 
Prefers rich moist or even wet soils, does 
not succeed well in sandy soils. Thrives 
as well as Orchard grass in shady places. 
It is better adapted for pastures than for 
meadows but may be used for both pur- 
poses. 
Mesquite (Holcus Lanatus). 20 pounds 
per acre. This plant is primarily adapted 
to moist cool climates and under such 
conditions is not particular as to soil. 
The plants form thick, rather high tussocks. 
The stems are erect, growing from 2 to 3 
feet high. The whole plant has a velvety 
appearance hence the name Velvet Grass
