very hot weather. Starts up again with

good weed fighter when well established. 
The grass is not difficult to eradicate. It 
does not tend to get “sod bound” as quick- 
ly as most grasses. While grown mostly in 
northern and western states, it gives indi- 
cation of being adapted to a much wider 
area east and south. Sow 10 pounds per 
acre. Seed is scarce this year. Please order

VERY PRODUCTIVE 
Highly Palatable 
While a new grass in this country, it has long 
been used in Northern Europe. It produces a 
higher percentage of basil leaves, than most 
grasses, the flowering stems are erect and usually 
about 3 foot tall. Cattle and sheep will graze 
this grass in preference to other grasses. They 
will eat both stems and the leaves which contain 
more sugar than most other grasses. It is not a 
real sweet grass like Sorghum, but very palatable. 
How and When to Sow 
In most of the Northern and Northeastern States, 
spring seedings are preferable to fall seedings. In 
milder climates, fall seedings are good. 6 or 7 lbs. 
per acre will make a sufficient seeding if you have 
a good seed bed. It can be sown with a drill, cov- 
ered lightly, at the most not over an inch, and roll- 
ing after seeding gives best results. Seed bed 
should be fine, but firm, and as clean as possible.

wonderful pasture and it really made good quality hay 
that is easy to cure. 
a * is therefore a good grass to use in mix- 
tures. It prefers land of medium to high 
fertility. It can use quite a lot of water 
but is not a wet land grass like Meadow 
Foxtail or Reed Canary. Plants grow 1% 
to 2 ft. high. Do not confuse these Rye 
Grasses with ordinary Winter Rye. They 
are totally different. Spring seedings are 
practiced where winters are apt to be se- 
vere. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre alone or 8 
to 10 pounds in mixtures. All of these 
grasses of course come in the Gro-Coated 
Brand only. Postpaid prices 2 Ibs. 80e; 5

NUTRITIOUS 
AND 
A long season, perennial grass 
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FOXTAIL MILLET 
_ This is one of the earliest cultivated grasses to start grow- 
ing in the spring, It can be grown anywhere in the northern 
half of the United States. It does well where summer tem- 
peratures may reach 100 and winter well below zero. It is a 
tremendously heavy producing grass as the accompanying 
photograph will show. A Minnesota field has stood for 25 
years. It works fine in mixtures with grasses and_clovers: 
Great for Wet Lands 
Like Reed Canary Grass, it will stand long periods of over-flow. Good 
stands have been obtained on low wet lands that are quite alkali, It 
is much easier to start than Reed Canary grass, that is why many 
prefer it as a grass for such conditions. 
Good for Uplands 
Although naturally a wet or moist land grass, it ean give good returns 
on well drained soil of medium fertility, that are fairly well supplied 
with moisture for winter and early summer growth, It is good to use in 
waterways. The pasture season generally extends from shortly after the 
last heavy spring frost to early heavy freezes in the fall, 
Grows Well in the Shade 
Like most grasses, Meadow Foxtail makes good growth in shady 
places. In this respect it is similar to Orchard Grass, but will stand 
much more wet soil. There are many places where this grass will 
prove itself one of the best money makers you can possibly use.
