GROWN | ; 
Brome Grass is probably the most important Grass in 
midwestern agriculture. Widely adapted and highly nutri- 
tious, it is grown in practically every State where grassland 
farming is practiced. Our Nebraska-Kansas grown Brome 
includes the ‘‘New Strains’’ of Fischer, Lincoln and Achen- 
bach considered as the ‘‘Southern Type.’’ Experimental 
trials have definitely proven these types to be superior to the 
regional strains originating in the more northern States and 
Canada. Its fibrous root system penetrates deeply which en- 
ables it to stay green and succulent during.hot, dry periods 
when most Grasses become dormant. 
Best When Used with Legumes 
Because Brome Grass may become ‘‘sodbound’’ if 
seeded alone, we recommend seeding in combination 
with some legume. Alfalfa is preferable and is used 
more extensively with it than any other legume. : 
Ladino Clover is also an excellent crop and many aps ° 
farmers use Red or Sweet Clover with good re- von, Seeding Suggestions

There is very little difference between Canadian and our Nebraska-Kansas 
Brome. The new strains mentioned above, Fischer, Lincoln, and Achenbach, 
are considered by. many as being superior because of their tolerance to long

Alfalfa. It produces a very leafy growth and may not be quite as aggressive 
, in growth as the ‘‘Southern Strains.’ ; 
Growing Practices 
Canadian Brome is not difficult to grow. Any land that will grow Alfalfa will produce good 
yields of Brome. A firm, clean seed-bed is the first requirement. Once a stand is established 
it should be kept grazed down to a height of 4 to 6 inches. When cut for hay it should not 
be grazed until it has recovered to a height of 7 or 8 inches. Seeding requirements are the 
same as ‘‘Southern Brome.’’ Old stands can be made more productive by applying 150 Ibs. 
of Ammonium Nitrate or other nitrogenous fertilizer per acre. Our Canadian Brome is ex- 
cellent quality but supplies are extremely short. We suggest you place your order early.
