Supplies of Timothy 
is Shortest in History 
We have been in the seed business for a long time, but never has 
the situation in Timothy been as drastic as it is this year. This 
naturally has its effect on prices. However, it still remains one of 
the most economical grasses to sow. Practically all grass seed 
supplies are short, the prices ranging higher than ever before. Tim- 
othy is one of the surest grasses to make a stand. It is adapted to 
a wide range of soil, and it has a great deal of value: A few years 
back there were some who discredited Timothy, but most of these 
opinions now are being reversed. It is recognized as one of the 
best grasses and is extremely popular in the eastern part of the 
corn belt. Iowa still remains the chief seed producing state and 
from here on east it is a very good grass. 10 to 12 pounds of seed 
sows an acre. We are not sure we will have enough seed for the 
season, so we do urge you to buy early. Also, read about our clover 
and grass combination on pages 19, 20 and 24.

Some Important Points on Timothy 
Years ago a number of tests were made on Timothy as compared 
with ten other grasses. Over an average of a 16 year period Timothy 
outyielded all other grasses. A yield of 5309 pounds to the acre, the 
next nearest grass 1000 pounds less and some yielding as low as 2464 
pounds per acre. Timothy can be sown either in the spring or in the 
fall. Spring seedings use 10 pounds to the acre; for fall seedings five 
pounds is enough. Timothy combines admirably with Red Clover and 
Alsike Clover. When you combine Timothy with clover you get a 
bigger yield than sowing either of them separately. You will get 
the best quality of Timothy hay by cutting it when the plants are 
beginning to head. You will get the biggest yields if you cut it when 
the seed heads are straw colored, before they are ripe. 
Like any other grass Timothy will respond to: 
fertilizer applications and will 
greatly increase its 
yield on good land.
