WIDELY ADAPTED—LONG-LIVED PERENNIAL 
Many acres of low, wet, practically worthless land have 
been turned into highly productive and profitable acres 
after establishing this widely adapted Grass. It is usually 
grown on low lying, poorly drained lands on which water 
often stands in the spring and for short periods at other 
times. It also produces well on well drained soils of prac- 
tically all types and seems to be extremely drought resistant. It 
is rather slow in becoming established and it should not be grazed 
until the second year. It spreads rapidly and will eventually form a heavy 
sod. Reed Canary Grass starts growing early in the spring and remains green until late 
in the fall, and is relished by all live stock. It is possible to graze it in the spring, take a seed 
crop in July, and a hay crop after the seed is harvested. For erosion control, Reed Canary Grass 
is uhexcelled. ; 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS ; 
Spring planting is recommended; however, early fall seedings are often very successful. A well- 
prepared seea bed is desirable. If possible, rolling or culti-packing before and after planting. Seven to 10 Ibs. of seed 
per acre, broadcast or drilled, should produce a satisfactory stand. Seeding while the ground is frozen is best for areas 
that are ordinarily under water in the spring. Seed should not. be covered over % to 1 inch deep. 
If weeds are troublesome in new seedings they should be clipped back—this retards the weeds and does not materially 
injure the seedlings. 
The smallest crop of Reed Canary Grass seed in many years was harvested this 
year. There will not be nearly enough seed to meet the demand. Order, your 


requirements early while stocks are complete.

Red Top -is valuable for use in pasture and 
hay mixtures or as a lawn grass. It will thrive 
ITEM on practically any type soil'and will sometimes 
No. 127 be productive on land too low in fertility to 
GREEN grow other grasses. It does exceptionally well 
PRICE on low, wet ground and sometimes grows to a 
List height of 2 to 2% feet on soil of this type. It is 
excellent for waterways and for controlling ero- 
sion as it develops a thick sod when well estab- 
lished.

While the Timothy crop was very small again 
this year, it is still one of the most economical 
Grasses you can grow. It has long been one of 
the most widely used hay and pasture Grasses 
and is recommended highly for use with legumes 
such as Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Tre- 
foil, and Ladino Clover: Timothy can be seeded in 
the spring or fall. If seeded alone, 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre should be used. It is fast-growing: and is fine 
for erosion control on hilly land of medium to light fertility. 
* It is widely adapted and grows on all types of soil. 
It is exceedingly nutritious and is readily eaten by all 
elasses of livestock, either as cured hay or pasture. Prof- 
itable seed crops can be taken practically anywhere that 
Timothy is grown. Decreased 
acreages of Timothy and other 
Grasses indicate seed production 





ITEM will be highly profitable for 
several years. Our seed is 
No. 79 thoroughly tested, high in 
GREEN purity and germination.
