FIELD GRASS SEEDS 
Alta Fescue (Tall Fescue). Tall Fescue 
is rapidly gaining in popularity and 
has supplanted Meadow Fescue in 
many areas. It is somewhat coarser 
than Meadow Fescue, but is more 
droughtresistant, more productive, and 
more alkali-tolerant. Livestock find it 
fully as palatable. The growth period, 
and other characteristics are the same 
except that Meadow Fescue is probably 
preferable on wet lands. Lb. $1.00: 10 
lbs. $9.00, postpaid. Write for quantity 
prices. 
Red Top (Herds Grass). Sow 12 to 15 
pounds per acre. This is one of the 
most valuable and satisfactory grasses 
in all localities. Thrives on low ground, 
where water stands late in the season. 
Red Top should be included in all mix- 
tures intended for permanent pastures 
or hay. It makes excellent pasturage 
as well as ideal for hay. When well 
established it spreads and will sup- 
plant other grasses. Fine for hillsides, 
will prevent erosion. Matures at the 
same time as Meadow Fescue, Orchard 
Grass and Timothy. Lb. 55c; 10 lbs. 
$5.00, postpaid. 
Timothy. The Most Extensively Grown 
Hay Grass. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per 
acre. For hay, Timothy is the best 
known and most extensively grown of 
all grasses. A stand is easily estab- 
lished, it is inexpensive to sow, it 
starts quickly and yields its best crop 
the year after it is sown, but the fol- 
lowing year’s crop may be equally as 
heavy if liberally top-dressed with ma- 
nure. The yield on good land fre- 
quently runs from 1¥% to 3 tons per 
acre. Meadow Fescue or Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Red Top or Herds Grass and 
Ladino Clover all mature at the same 
time as Timothy, and are good grasses 
to sow with it for hay and pasture. A 
good mixture is 6 pounds Timothy, 5 
pounds Red Top, 7 pounds Meadow 
Fescue and 4 pounds Ladino Clover. 
Sow this mixture at the rate of 20 
pounds per acre. Price of Timothy is 
30c per lb., 10 Ibs. $2.75, postpaid.

Oregon Rye Grass. A rapid grower, 
very winter hardy, leaves and stems 
medium fine, stools heavily, has a 
bright green color. Excellent for pas- 
6 
ture or for hay. Plant with Ladino 
Clover to prevent bloating. Sow 20 
pounds per acre. Lb. 30c, 10 Ibs. $2.75, 
postpaid. 
Brome Grass. Will stand drought and 
produce heavy crops in dry sections 
and on poor soils where other grasses 
perish. It is one of the hardiest grow- 
ers and succeeds on our dry hillsides. 
Sow 85 pounds per acre. Lb. 60c, 10 
lbs. $5.50, postpaid. 
Orchard Grass. The greatest pasture and 
hay grass. A very vigorous grower 
and yields large crops of excellent and 
nutritious hay, as well as having spe- 
cial value as a pasture grass, furnish- 
ing good grazing from early spring 
until winter. It adapts itself to a va- 
riety of soils, provided they are well 
drained, but succeeds best on loamy 
uplands or moderately stiff soils, al- 
though it does quite well on soils that 
are inclined to be sandy. A mixture of 
15 pounds of Orchard Grass, and 8 
pounds of Red or Alsike Clover has 
proved very satisfactory, is recom- 
mended for hay and pasture. When 
sown alone, plant 30 to 35 pounds per 
acre. In a mixture as above, sow 20 
pounds per acre. Lb. 50c, 10 Ibs. $4.50, 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices.

combination of grasses and clover, ideal 

as will Johnson Grass.

many compliments on the mixture. 
Plant Monarch Meadow Mixture for a 
real fine pasture. Lb, 50c, 10 Ibs. $4.50, 
postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
English Rye Grass (Perennial), A quick 
grower and excellent for pasture or hay. 
Unlike Oregon Rye Grass, English Rye 
is a perennial which persists for years. 
It is a heavy yielder and of excellent 
quality as hay. English Rye Grass 
should be used in every pasture or 
meadow mixture. Postpaid, small lots 
price, lb. 40c: 10 Ibs. $3.50. Write for 
quantity price. 
Sudan Grass. A wonderful quick-grow- 
ing Summer Hay Grass. An annual 
with short fibrous roots that are killed 
by frost. Because of this characteristic, 
Sudan Grass will never become a pest 
Its greatest 
value is for hay, which is well liked 
by stock—the entire plant, leaves, stems 
and heads, is eaten. Sow 5 to 6 pounds 
to the acre in 2-foot rows; 20 to 25 
pounds broadcast. By mail postpaid, 
Ib. 35c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. Write for quantity 
prices.
