NEW STRAIN and MOUNTAIN BROME 
See Item No. 139 on Price List 
The New Strains of 

There are different strains of Brome Grass. 
Southern Brome are Lincoln, Fisher and Achenbach. It is difficult to 
distinguish between them so we group them under the term, New 
Strain. These grow somewhat taller than Northern Brome and may 
yield more, especially if sown alone and well fertilized. They sup- 
posedly stand hot weather alittle better. 
This past year however, had very unfavorable conditions for seed 
production in the southern area. As a result this seed is very scarce 
and high in price. In order to stretch supplies as far as possible, and 
at the same time reduce seeding costs we are selling this mixture of 
approximately 60% New Strain Brome, and 40% Mountain Brome. 
The Mountain Brome is shorter lived than Smooth Brome but it 
grows faster. Therefore, the two should go well together. One to 
make the fast early growth, the other the more permanent seeding. 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre, 
You can sow Alfalfa with this seeding too. It should give. the Al- 
falfa more space for development as the Mountain Brome probably 
won't be as permanent as New Strain which is slower in getting es- 
tablished though. 
















An Astonishing Grower

Widely Adapted 
It is adapted from 
sowed Reed Canary grass in the 
winter and summer for a long period 
He also reported it made 
good hay and checked soil erosion very effectively, 
Grows 5 to 6 ft. High 
It is a very leafy grass. You almost have to see it to appreciate it. 
Yields up to 3 to 5 tons of cured hay per acre in two cuttings. 
Second crop is leafier but. not quite as tall. Tests shows 9.48% pro- 
tein in first crop; 11.76 in second. A seeding lasts many years. Starts 
growing early in the spring and stays on the job until in the fall. 
Makes a strong sod. On land so wet cattle would bog down in it, 
Reed Canary grass made a sod so strong it would support 
a team and wagon. Its long life is indicated by a field in 
Minnesota that was used for hay crops for 15 years and 
then 18 years as a pasture, It is not a pest and can easily 
be eradicated by cultivation. i 
While Reed Canary seed is rather hard to save there is 
real money in a good seed crop. ‘With yields of 100 to 400 
lbs. per-acre. you can get a big extra income. You can 
harvest the seed and then still immediately after that geta
