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 unexcelled. 
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 lbs. 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 “26 be nearly enough seed to meet the demand. Order your 
requirements early while stocks are complete.

"Rates the Qualify Tops” 
Jeffersonville, Ohio. 
I have purchased field seed from the American Field 
Seed Co. for a long time. I rate the quality of the seed 
sent me and the integrity of the American Field Seed 
Co. as tops.

Red Top is valuable for use in pasture and hay mix- 
tures or as a lawn grass. It will thrive on practically 
any type soil and will sometimes be productive on land 
too low in fertility to grow other grasses. It does ex- 
ceptionally well on low, wet ground and sometimes 
grows to a height of 2 to 2% feet on soil of this type. 
It is excellent for waterways and for controlling erosion 
as it develops a thick sod when well established. 
ECONOMICAL TO SOW 
If seeded alone, 10 lbs. per acre 
is ample when used in combination 


ITEM with other grass, 3 or 4 Ibs. should 
NO. 127° «be enough. Because of fine tex- 
GREEN ture and luxurious appearance 
PRICE LIST Red Top is used very exten- 
sively for lawns. One pound 
per 200 square feet is the 
accepted rate of seeding 
for this purpose.

Milford, Indiana. 
I always buy Pinnacle Brand seed and thus feel sure 
of the best. Save considerable money and am well 
pleased with the quality of seed bought from American
