FIELD GRASS SEEDS 
Alta Fescue (Tall Fescue). Tall Fescue 
is rapidly gaining in popularity and 
has supplanted Meadow Fescue in many 
areas. It is somewhat coarser than 
Meadow Fescue, but is more drought- 
resistant, more productive, and more 
alkali-tolerant. Livestock find it fully 
as palatable. The growth period, and 
other characteristics are the same ex- 
cept that Meadow Fescue is probably 
preferable on wet lands. 
Reed Canary Grass. Adapted to wet, low 
lands. A coarser, tall-growing plant with 
stout, leafy stems. Grows in large 
bunches and spreads underground. Very 
palatable and relished by all livestock. 
Sow 8-10 pounds broadcast or 2-4 pounds 
in mixtures, 
Oregon Rye Grass. A rapid grower, very 
winter hardy, leaves and stems medium 
fine, stools heavily, has a bright green 
color. Excellent for pasture or for hay. 
Plant with Ladino Clover to prevent 
bloating. Sow 20 pounds per acre. 
Mountain Brome Grass. Will stand 
drought and produce heavy crops in dry 
sections and on poor soils where other 
grasses perish. It is one of the hardiest 
growers and succeeds on our dry hill- 
sides. Sow 385 pounds per acre. 
Orchard Grass. The greatest pasture and 
hay grass. A very vigorous grower and 
yields large crops of excellent and nutri- 
tious hay, as well as having special value 
as a pasture grass, furnishing good graz- 
ing from early spring until winter. It 
adapts itself to a variety of soils, pro- 
vided they are well drained, but succeeds 
best on loamy uplands or moderately 
stiff soils, although it does quite well on 
soils that are inclined to be sandy. A 
mixture of 15 pounds of Orchard Grass, 
and 8 pounds of Red or Alsike Clover 
HYBRID FIELD CORN 
has proved very satisfactory, is recom- 
mended for hay and pasture. When sown 
alone, plant 30 to 35 pounds per acre. 
In a mixture as above, sow 20 pounds 
per acre. 
Monarch Meadow Mixture. This is a 
combination of grasses and clover, ideal 
for permanent pasture or for hay. Com- 
bine the following grasses and clover 
in perfect proportions: English Rye 
Grass, Kentucky Blue Grass, Tall Fes- 
cue, Timothy, Alsike, Red and White 
Sweet Clover, and Orchard Grass. We 
have sold this blend for years and re- 
ceive many compliments on the mixture. 
Plant Monarch Meadow Mixture for a 
really fine pasture. 
English Rye Grass (Perennial). A quick 
grower and excellent for pasture or hay. 
Unlike Oregon Rye Grass, English Rye 
is a perennial which persists for years. 
It is a heavy yielder and of excellent 
quality as hay. English Rye Grass should 
be used in every pasture or meadow 
mixture, 
Sweet Sudan Grass. A wonderful, quick- 
growing Summer Hay Grass. An annual 
with short fibrous roots that are killed 
by frost. Because of this characteristic, 
Sudan Grass will never become a pest 
as will Johnson Grass. Its greatest value 
is for hay, which is well liked by stock 
—the entire plant, leaves, stems and 
heads, is eaten. Sow 5 to 6 pounds to 
the acre in 2-foot rows; 25 to 30 pounds 
by broadcast.

CHIPPEWA SEED POTATOES 
SEED POTATOES 
Chippewa. There are more people brag- 
ging about their crop of Chippewa po- 
tatoes, they are so large, so flavorsome, 
free of disease, so many in the hill, easy 
to grow, delicious in flavor and a good 
cooker. Also a good keeper. An early 
sort, heavy yielding, white skin and 
flesh. Good size and shape. It is likewise 
highly resistant to mild Mosaic disease 
which destroys many varieties. 
Early Bliss Triumph. The most popular 
pink potato. Very early. Tubers hand- 
some appearing, being almost round 
with only slightly depressed eyes, mostly 
at the seed end. Run very uniform as 
to size and shape. Heavy cropper and 
good flavor. We offer only certified seed 
as a protection against mild Mosaic dis- 
ease which often reduces yields 50%. 
Irish Cobbler. One of the older and best 
known varieties and still popular is Irish 
Cobbler. White skin, white meat, good 
cooker, fine flavor. Yields are compara- 
ble to the best field varieties. Early sort. 
Netted Gem. This is the most popular 
of the late potatoes. Known in some 
parts of the country as Russet, Buck- 
skin, and Gem. This is the potato that 
made Idaho famous. Very mealy, good 
keeper, fine yielder, excellent flavor. 





No. 416 
Idahybrid No. 416. A proved master hybrid. Ida- Call at 
hybrid No. 416 is still our favorite. We introduced 
it four years ago after trials proved it adaptable Our Store 
to our section and No. 416 hasn’t let us down. 
Proof of its high yieldings ability is shown in the for 
Oregon Extension Field Trials. It is a top pro- 
ducer. You are not experimenting when you plant 
Idahybrid No. 416.

No. 544 
Idahybrid No. 544 is a top-yielding corn which 
matures just a trifle earlier than No. 416. As far 
as yield is concerned, there is very little differ- 
ence. Our customers’ experience with No. 544 
leads us to conclude that it is probably better 
adapted to lighter soils than 416, although it does 
well on all types. As is the case with most all 
hybrids, No. 544 is ideal for silage, producing 
heavier yields of ensilage than open-pollenated 
sorts. 
No. 680 
Idahybrid No. 680 Silage Corn. If you are after 
maximum yields for silage plant No. 680. It out- 
yields all others in green growth and actual ears 
of grain. Does not lodge and is easily cut with 
binder. Grows to uniform height, resists cold, 
drought and heat.
