RED CLOVER 
LADINO CLOVER—Similar to White Dutch 
Clover but spreads by runners and grows 
much taller. The runners throw up leafy 
stalks and the leaves resemble Red Clover in 
size and shape. It grows more rapidly and 
furnishes more months in the year than 
any other true clover. It is best adapted 
to fertile land. Ladino is usually sown with 
a combination of Rye Grass, Alta Fescue, 
Ky. No. 31, Orchard Grass or Lespedeza. 
1% to 2 lbs. of Ladino per acre in mixtures. 
Certified Seed $2.35 per ib., postpaid. Ask 
for quantity prices. 
YELLOW HOP CLOVER—Used to supplement 
permanent pastures, especially Bermuda, 
Dallis, Lespedeza, ete., as it starts growing 
in mid-winter and makes a rapid growth in 
early spring. Reseeds abundantly. Hop 
Clover will do well on most soils except 
extremely wet. Sow 2 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
Yellow Hop Clover, 75¢ per Ib., postpaid. 
Big: yellow Hop Clover, $1.65 per Ib., post- 
paid. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA—Outstanding for its 
many uses; hay, seed, pasture and soil im- 
provement. Korean is highly drought re- 
sistant, and thrives on poor, worn out soils 
where alfalfa and clovers would fail. When 
planted with oats, wheat, barley or rye, it 
helps to increase their yield. In feeding 
value it is almost equal to alfalfa; has no 
woody stem, holds its leaves well and pro- 
_ duces a full crop the first season. Plant in 
early spring, 25 lbs. per acre. 
KOBE LESPEDEZA—Kobe has tall, spreading 
plants with larger leaves than other varieties. 
Matures later than Korean and for this 
reason furnishes better fall pasture. Kobe 
is very drought resistant. 
SERICEA LESPEDEZA—Perennial. It grows on 
poor acid soil as well as on better soils. It 
is a great drought resister with an enormous 
root system. It enriches the soil and gives 
from 2 to 3 cuttings a season. Sow 12 to 15 
Ibs. of hulled and scarified seed per acre. 
ALFALFA—Oklahoma Approved Alfalfa. The 
seed is from inspected and approved fields by 
the Oklahoma Crop Improvement Associa- 
tion. 
ALSIKE CLOVER—Thrives in low, wet soils 
where other clovers will not grow. It is 
more leafy and finer stemmed than Red 
Clover. Alsike is very hardy. Sow 6 to 8 
lbs. per acre. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER—Highly desirable 
because of its earliness, about two weeks 
earlier than the white blossom. It is a 
biennial, just like the white, but does not 
grow quite as tall. Produces good quality 
hay and a wonderful soil builder. Sow 15 
lbs. per acre. 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER—Sweet Clover is a 
crop that is hardy, defies wet and drought, 
never winter kills and will grow on land 
that will not produce alfalfa. Sweet clover 
has long, deep roots that permit water and 
air to penetrate to the lower levels of the 
soil and thus greatly aids the mechanical 
condition of the soil. Wheat, corn or alfal- 
fa grown on a field following sweet clover 
are greatly improved. Sow 20 lbs. hulled 
seed per acre. 
RED CLOVER—The most important and best 
known of all clovers, being used for pasture, 
hay and enrichment of the land. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER—For lawn purposes, 
this is very desirable on account of its 
creeping stems. One planting lasts many 
years as it reseeds itself as well as coming 
back from the roots. Very hardy. In per- 
manent pastures is of considerable value. 
CRIMSON CLOVER—A winter annual. Espe- 
cially valuable for improving the soil, mak- 
ing a quick, and very fine crop for soiling. 
May be sown in corn and cotton at the 
last cultivation and will afford a dense mat 
for plowing under in the spring. Sow 25 to 
a Ibs. per acre during September or Oc- 
tober. 
RESEEDING CRIMSON CLOVER—Makes excel- 
lent winter grazing. Makes more growth 
during winter months than legumes more 
commonly used. Adaptability to soils—best 
results on well drained, sandy soils, but it is 
growing on almost all soils of the south. 
Properly controlled grazing will aid in seed 
harvesting and will not reduce seed yield. 
Seeding rate—drill 10 to 15 pounds, broad- 
cast 15 to 20 pounds. Plant after a good 
rain on a firm seed bed. Cover lightly 
about 4% to % inches by use of cultipacker 
or weeder or drag. Plant during September 
or late enough to insure good inoculation 
and favorable moisture conditions. Ask for 
prices. 
PERENNIAL SHADE BLEND—This is a blend of 
the best perennial grasses. It is recom- 
mended for sowing under large trees and 
other heavily shaded places where ordinary 
grasses will not thrive. Sow 1 pound per 
150 square feet. 
1 Ib. 95¢ potspaid. 
SHADY LAWN MIXTURE—Special mixture for 
shade and quick germination. Good bright 
green color. Sow 1 lb. per 100 square feet. 
1 Ib. 75¢ potspaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS—Hulled. We offer this ex- 
tra fancy Bermuda grass seed with the 
hulls removed which gives much quicker 
germination. Under favorable moisture 
and soil conditions, hulled Bermuda will 
germinate in 8 to 10 days. The hulled seed 
is very tender and should not be planted un- 
til the ground is warm. May, June and July 
are the best months for planting. One 
pound of seed will plant 400 square feet. 
Lb. 95c postpaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS—Unhulled. Slower to ger- 
minate than the hulled. 20 to 30 days. 
Plant April to August at the rate of one 
half pound per 100 square feet. 
1 Ib. 75¢ potspaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Thrives best on nat- 
urally alkaline soils or those that have been 
limed. The leaves are narrow and deep 
green in color. Grows slowly at first, mak- 
ing a thick compact turf. Suited to shady 
areas. 
1 Ib. 95¢ postpaid. 
MEADOW FESCUE (English Blue Grass)—Pro- 
duces a fairly good sod and withstands 
pasturing very well. It is best adapted to 
fertile and moist soils, rather than poor up- 
lands, and does fairly well in the shade. 
Used mostly in mixtures, and is valuable for 
supplying pasturages while slower species 
are becoming established. 
1 Ib. 75¢ npostvaid. 
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of the most 
reliable grasses for hay or pasture, making 
a quick, vigorous and continuous growtk 
from early spring until winter. Does well 
on most soils especially on soil that is in- 
clined to be sandy. 
TIMOTHY—It thrives best on heavy, moist 
soils, but does not do well on thin, light dry 
land. Makes an excellent hay that is very 
nutritious. Not recommended for pasture as 
it is injured by close cutting or grazing. 
Field Seed prices fluctuate considerably and 
for this reason we do not quote prices in our 
catalog. We issue a field seed price list 
throughout the planting season with lowest 
market prices and we will be glad to mail 
list on request. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS—Is a quick growing 
annual, which does not have root-stalks nor 
stolons and does not form a compact sod. 
Being such a fast growing grass it makes 
fine pasture. If planted in August or Sep- 
tember, with the proper amount of mois- 
ture, it will make pasture during the fall, 
winter and spring, maturing its seed during 
June. It is also used extensively on Ber- 
muda sod for winter lawns. For pasture, 
sow 30 lbs. per acre. For lawns, 1 lb. per 
100 square feet. 
1 Ib. 30c; 10 Ibs. for $2.50, postpaid. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—Certified. Oregon 
grown. Similar in growth, adaptation and 
use to the annual Rye Grass, but lasts 
longer. 
1 Ib. 50¢ postpaid. 
KENTUCKY FESCUE No. 31—It is adapted to 
acid upland and requires no lime. It will 
grow on poor soil, in the shade, and is 
adapted to wet areas. Due to its dense root 
system and moisture conserving habits, it is 
one of the most drought resisting of grasses. 
1 Ib. 90c postpaid. 
ALTA FESCUE—Alta Fescue is a _ perennial 
grass especially adapted to all type of soils 
and long growing season. Fine for pasture. 
Recommended for sowing in your grass and 
clover mixtures. Helps control erosion on 
steep slopes. 
1 Ib. 85c¢ postpaid. 
SEASIDE BENT (Agrostis maritima)—Is pro- 
ducing along the sea coast in Oregon in the 
low swampy lands. Is known as _ Coos 
County Bent, Cocoos Bent, and Coos Bent. 
Is fine leaved, bright green in color, and 
creeps both below and above the ground. It 
requires frequent cutting. 
1 Ib. $1.25 postpaid. 
HIGHLAND BENT—TIs a type of Colonial Creep- 
ing Bent grown in the uplands of Oregon. 
It is very hardy, a vigorous grower and will 
withstand more dry weather than other 
strains of Bent Grasses. 
1 Ib. $1.15 postpaid. 
BROME GRASS—A vigorous growing grass 
than most grasses. Well suited for hay or 
well suited for dry soils as it roots deeper 
pasture, often used with alfalfa. Sow 15 to 
25 lbs. per acre. 
RED TOP GRASS—Belongs to the Bent family. 
It grows and thrives where Blue Grass fails. 
It is well adapted to wet or moist soil, low 
in fertility and on acid lands for hay. 
SPECIAL DIRECTIONS ABOUT SOWING 
Nearly all grass seeds are very small and 
will not come up satisfactorily unless put in 
properly, and again, most planters will not 
use enough seed to the acre. The soil should 
be thoroughly prepared by deep breaking and 
thorough harrowing until a smooth bed is 
made, and the ground should be settled before 
sowing. After sowing the seed, very little 
covering should be given with a brush or 
harrow that will cover it lightly. If the 
weather is likely to be dry, the ground should 
be pressed over the seed, so as to bring the 
seed in close contact with the soil to hold the 
moisture until the seeds get a good start.
