HARDY GRASSES FOR HEALTHY PROFIT | 
SMOOTH BROMEGRASS—Outyields Bluegrass 2 to 1 
Most Palatable of all Pasture Grasses 
Smooth Bromegrass is a Giant Bluegrass—hardy and permanent and it roots 
deeply, sometimes 4 and 5 feet deep, making it stand dry and hot weather as 
well as the coldest winters. 
It is the first green grass in the spring and the last in the fall and keeps 
green all summer when other grasses are dried. 
All classes of livestock like it. Very palatable. It is important to seed it 
as early as the ground can be worked. Very little if any injury from frost. 
Plant 15 to 20 pounds per acre, where it is seeded alone. 
No. 1 seed, free from foul weeds. 
deeply—14 inch deep is sufficient.

CRESTED WHEATGRASS—The Miracle Grass 
Builds BEEF and MUTTON 
A drought resistant, long lived per- 
ennial bunch grass introduced by Pro- 
fessor Hansen of South Dakota State 
College, who found it in Siberia from 
where he also introduced Oossack 
Alfalfa, as nearly perfect balanced 
diet as can be found in a plant. 
Crested Wheatgrass becomes green 
in the spring earlier than other grasses 
and stays green later in the fall. It 
produces twice as much pasture and 
hay of high palatability and nutritive 
value as native grass. Produces twice 
as much beef, mutton, and wool and 
shows no bad effect from heavy graz- 
ing. Broadcast 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
For best results, plant some Alfalfa 
or Yellow Sweet Clover seed with it. 
This adds nitrogen to the soil which 
the Crested Wheatgrass needs. Did 
You Know that Crested Wheatgrass 
contains as much as 35 per cent 
Protein when it is a young plant? This 
explains the phenomenal gains on 
calves and lambs pasturing it... 
and why breeding cows and ewes do 
so extraordinarily well when allowed: 
to pasture it in the fall... . Plant 
and Profit by it.

Wheatgrass is not only the most profitable for beef cattle, but is also the best year ’round 
permanent pasture for production of wool and mutton on dry upland 
in west and southwest states
