ORCHARD—A very nutritious and valuable grass. Excellent in a pas- 
ture mixture, also planted with alfalfa as it matures early and_ 
makes best hay cut as early as first cutting alfalfa. Also comes 
back fast to make a good second growth with second cutting alfalfa 
on irrigated land. . 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—With plenty of water during the hot 
months of July and August, no grass will pasture as much stock 
as this. Excellent in pasture mixtures for this purpose. Blue 
grass tends to become sodbound, keeping moisture from going 
through to the base of the root system. Light cultivation will in- 
erease its productiveness. 
RED TOP—Adapted to soils too wet for most grasses. 
TIMOTHY—Perhaps the largest producing perennial grass grown for 
hay in Wyoming. Timothy, with a small percentage of Alsike or 
Red Clover added makes an abundance of hay relished by stock. 
Ideal to take range stock through bad storms. One advantage of 
timothy is that range stock will eat it, and still eat dry range grass 
as part of their ration. 
MEADOW FESCUE—Also known as English Blue Grass. Similar to 
Kentucky Blue Grass, but grows larger and coarser, making it more 
desirable for hay. Desirable in pasture mixtures as well as for 
meadows. Hardy and stands drought well. Can be used for lawns 
where water is not available for thorough irrigation or watering. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—The hardiest and most drought ‘resistant 
of the cultivated grasses. Makes excellent hay or pasture, and will 
grow in places other grasses will fail. 
~ SLENDER WHEAT GRASS Two slightly different types of “na- 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS tive” grass, sometimes known as “Blue 
Stem.” Ideal for good dry land for both summer and winter graz- 
ing, but not recommended for light or poor soil. With a little 
extra water, makes excellent hay and_a very good yield. 
ORIGINAL HUNTLEY PASTURE MIXTURE—So named because first 
introduced by Huntley (Montana) Experiment Station. Contains 
20% each of Brome, Orchard, Meadow Fescue and Kentucky Blue 
Grass, and 10% each of Alsike and White Dutch Clover. An ex- 
cellent pasture mixture that wi!l provide maximum pasture from 
early spring throughout the season. 
Note our outside cover, also the story about it on Page 1. 
MODIFIED HUNTLEY PASTURE MIXTURE—Many ranchers want 
to use a mixture for one cutting of hay in addition to early spring 
and late fall pasture. To meet this need we sell large quantities 
of “Modified Huntley Mixture.” This contains: 30% Brome, 30% 
Orchard, 20% Meadow Fescue, 15% Alsike and 5% White Dutch 
Clover. This mixture makes more hay on account of the larger 
persentage 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. | 
ALTA FESCUE—A strain of tall fescue, developed at Corvallis, Ore- 
gon. It is a long lived, bunch type grass, that has proven very 
heavy yielding at experiment stations throughout the country. It 
is said to stand more drought, more water or more alkali than ~ 
almost any common cultivated grass. Can be used either for pas- 
ture or for hay. Comes back quickly after cutting, and also grows 
well in cool weather, making it good for early spring or late fall 
pasture. So far as we know, Alta Fescue has not been grown in 
Wyoming, but from all we can learn it is well worth a good try-out.
