PASTURE GRASS SEEDS (Cont’d) 
RED TOP GRASS. One of our best native grasses. Hs- 
pecially valuable for sowing on sour or acid soils, 
swampy or meadow lands, liable to overflow, and on 
soils that are not rich enough for Timothy and other 
grasses. Mixed with Alsike Clover makes fine crop of 
hay or excellent pasture. Fourteen pounds of solid seed 
to the acre. Should be cut when in full flower. More 
easily cured than any other grass. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum cristatum.) A 
perennial with fibrous root system and bunching tend- 
ency, especially well adapted to dry land areas. It re- 
sponds quickly to small amounts of moisture, starts 
earlier in the spring and grows later in the fall than 
other grasses. Good for hay or pasture. Sow 1-inch 
deep, 6 to 10 lbs. per acre in close drills. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum tenerum.) An- 
other good perennial with drought-resisting habits. Pro- 
duces 114 tons of hay per acre, which is well liked by 
live stock. 
REED CANARY GRASS. A perennial that will do well 
in very moist places. Makes good hay and pasture. 
Sow six pounds per acre. Smothers out weeds. 
LADINO CLOVER. A giant form of White Clover, grow- 
ing 2 to 4 times as large. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. A tall, long-lived, drop- 
rooted perennial that is winter hardy. Height 8 to 5 
feet. Requires well-drained, light soils, with medium 
moisture. Used for hay and pasture. 
TALL FESCUE. Somewhat coarser than Meadow Fescue 
and more drought resistant, more productive, more al- 
kali tolerant and fully as palatable. 
BLUE GRAMA GRASS. Valuable for reseeding ranges. 
Resistant to over grazing. Sow 12 pounds per acre in 
March or April not to exceed % to 1 inch deep. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS —Fairway Strain. Grows 
shorter than the Standard strain, has more and finer 
leaves and produces about the same amount of hay. 
Can be used for lawns in dry sections. 
INTERMEDIATE WHEAT GRASS. Also called Rea 
Grass. Does well on dry land. Is better than crested 
on sandy type soils. 
NATIVE RYE GRASS. A quick growing grass, half an- 
nual and half perennial. Excellent for lawns when used 
with Kentucky Blue Grass, as it grows fast and protects 
the blue grass. Sow 30% native rye and 70% blue grass. 

TESTED SEED CORN 
There are a good many factors that determine the yield of corn per 
acre. Some of these are beyond the control of the grower, but there 
is one very important factor that every grower can control, and that 
is the quality of the seed that you plant. Treat It With Semesan Jr.

MINNESOTA No. 13. The king of 
Colorado Grown Corns. Early 
maturing, yellow, fair-sized ears 
and a good yielder. Stalks are 
about six feet high and are ex- 
cellent for silage. 
COLORADO YELLOW DENT. An 
early Yellow-grained var iety 
which matures almost with the 
flints. Can be grown in almost 
any locality. Stalks of our strains 
are large with broad leaves. Ears 
are 8 to 10 inches with 16 rows. 
WHITE AUSTRALIAN. The earli- 
est and surest variety we have 
for our dry weather and short 
seasons. It is a flint corn, pro- 
ducing large, long ears. 
GEHU FLINT. Similar to White 
Australian except that it is a 
yellow corn. Does well on dry 
land and is grown extensively in 
southeast Wyoming. 

BLUE SQUAW CORN. This variety grows very dwarf 
and is one of the best for resisting drought. Kernels 
are blue and white. 
COLORADO No. 13. A re-selection and practically the 
same as Minnesota 13. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT. An old standby that makes ex- 
cellent ensilage corn. 
RED COB ENSILAGE. A white dent with a red cob. 
Produces lots of tonnage for ensilage. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE. A white corn, produced in the 
South, our seed coming from Virginia. Produces most 
tonnage for ensilage, but will not produce ears in this 
locality. 
IOWA SILVER MINE. A pure white corn that does well 
in Colorado. We have Colorado-grown corn for matur- 
ing grain and eastern-grown corn for ensilage purposes. 
IMPROVED LEAMING. A good ensilage corn. Stalks are 
10 to 12 feet high with plenty of leaf. 
IOWA GOLD MINE. A yellow corn for ensilage purposes 
and a good one. 
SEMESAN JR. for field and sweet corn. Protects it from 
rotting in cold, wet soil, controls seedling blight. See
