ALTA "144° FESCUE 
You will find Alta 144 Fescue good for heavy land 
Its root system can penetrate dense subsoil. It 
This is a superb new strain of Alta Fescue. The leaves 
are darker green. They are softer and smoother. They too. 
remain palatable for a longer period. Livestock like its 
lush green growth. Even as it gets older it still retains this 
softer texture. 
You can readily see why there is such a tremendous 
demand for this new grass. It has an extremely long 
growing season. Where winters are not too severe it will 
stay on the job the year around. It is even deeper rooted 
than regular Alta or Ky. 31. This allows the plant to 
use the deep soil moisture throughout the summer. It 
will thrive on most any soil excepting very light land. 
Like the other Fescues it will stand overflow and quite 
opens up the soil beneath the plow depth. The partial 
renewal of the root system each year helps to store a lot 
of humus in the ground. 
You get in Alta 144 everything that regular Alta and 
Ky. 31 can give you plus a softer leaf, even higher palat- 
ability and beautiful color. Because of its texture and 
lush green color it is used as a lawn grass in some areas. 
It is truly a superior grass. The seed is still searce but 
we urge you to be sure and try some. You'll thank us 
later for getting you started with Alta 144 Fescue.

ship without «tags anyhow. Therefore we have decided to ship it all as Gro-

No other grass will grow under as great a variety of conditions 
as Red Top. It will grow on soils so poor in lime that most other 
grasses will fail. Next to Reed Canary grass and Meadow Foxtail 
it is best for wet land. It is also very drought resistant. You will 
find this fine to sow for quick pasture, to prevent soil erosion, or in 
waterways. Red Top is almost certain to make a stand. It is easy 
to get started. It seldom fails. Red Top is second only to Blue Grass 
as a pasture plant in the northeastern part of our country and will 
grow where Blue Grass often fails. : 
Red Top is adapted to the entire country. It thrives from Canada 
to the Gulf, New York to California. It is a vigorous grower and 
quickly forms a turf. When used with Timothy it generally increases 
the yield and matures about the same time. It 
is a perennial grass. Seedings last for many 
years. Supplies of Red Top seed are very short 
this year. Be sure to place your order early to 
get your requirements. Red Top is a very small

This is a grass that is very widely adapated. It is a crop that can 
be used both for hay and for pasture purposes. It yields around two 
tons of hay per acre on the average land. The grass grows to a 
height of 15 to 20 inches, depending a good deal upon the conditions. 
It is a very valuable grass to use in pastures, because it comes on 
early in the spring and keeps on the job until late in the fall. The 
value of the grass is greater early and later, rather than in midsum- 
mer. It is a fine grass, however, in the territory to which it is adapted. 
Meadow Fescue. will grow well from Kansas and Nebraska 
east to the Atlantic coast. It has been grown from Canada to the 
Gulf. This takes in most of the eastern part of the United States. 
It may not do too well in the extreme south. 
This grass is not critical as to soils. It is very 
well adapted to wet lands. It is like Red Top and 
Reed Canary grass*in that respect. It is a long 
lived grass. It will last longer than Timothy and 
seed and when sown alone 10 Ibs. per acre is suf- 
ficient. When mixed 4 lbs. per acre is very good. 
You can use it as a top seeding on thin stands of 
hay or pasture land. Sow it in early spring or 
late Summer,
