NEBRASKA-KANSAS 
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 
farmers use Red or Sweet Clover with good re- 
sults although these latter two are not as 
persistent or long-lived. One widely ITEM

Seeding Suggestions 
Brome may be sown in the spring or 
fall. Beeause of the light weight and 
bulky size of the seed, it is rather diffi- 
cult to sow. Broadcasting by hand or 
with an Endgate seeder is probably the 
-most satisfactory method. Many farm- 
ers use cracked Corn or Oats with the 
Brome to give it sufficient weight to feed 
through the seeder uniformly. DO NOT GOVER 
BROME TOO DEEPLY. NEVER OVER % 
roadcasting is recommended. Companion legume 
There is very little difference between Canadian and our N ebraska-Kansas 
Brome. The new strains mentioned above, Fischer, Lincoln, and Achenbach, 
are considered by many as being superior because of their tolerance to long 
ITEM protracted dry periods. Canadian Brome is extremely resistant to cold being 
produced where long, severe winters are prevalent. It is better adapted to the 
GREEN northern States although it is used throughout the middlewest with good re- 
sults. Highly nutritious and heavy producing, it is best when used with Alfalfa. 
It produces a very leafy growth and may not be quite as aggressive in growth 
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 MiP 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 lbs. 
of Ammonium Nitrate or other nitrogenous fertilizer per acre. Our Canadian Brome is ex- 
cellent quality at new greatly reduced prices. Save money by ordering your brome from us,
