TIMOTHY—As a crop of hay Timothy is probably ENGLISH BLUE GRASS OR MEADOW FESCUE— 
unsurpassed by any other kind of grass. Makes 
excellent spring and summer grazing and is usually 
sown at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
When Red Clover is sown with it at the rate of 
6 pounds per acre with 8 pounds of Timothy it 
makes an excellent combination. 
This is one of the best combinations for permanent 
pasture that we know of and have found that it 
adapts itself to different soils and conditions very 
readily. It gives a large amount of early and late 
pasture and does not freeze out or winter kill. 
It is very drought resistant. Usually sown 15 to 7A5) 
pounds per acre. 
RED TOP GRASS—Is a perennial turf forming grass. It is well adapted to 
wet or moist soil, low in fertility and on acid lands for hay. Red Top is of 
great value for sowing in gullies or in soils which are inclined to wash 
from heavy rains. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Does well on all kinds of soil and more especially on 
soil that is inclined to be sandy. 
BROME GRASS—lIs gaining popularity each year on account of its good 
quality pasture during the dry, hot summer months. It is rather difficult 
to get a stand of Brome and the seed needs to be hand sown and covered 
very lightly. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS—Sown in the fall will make an abundance of 
pasture the first season. When used with Korean Lespedeza you have an 
unbeatet'> combination. It is not definitely necessary to have a prepared 
seed be” but results have shown that you will get a better stand by so 
doing. When sown at the rate of one pound to 100 sq. ft. in your lawn, 
you will have a beautiful lawn throughout the winter. 
Red Top Grass 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—The standard grass for lawns and pastures all over America for the past 
century. It is winter hardy and turf forming. a 
BERMUDA—Without a doubt the most dependable turf forming grass yet to be found. Unsurpassed ‘for 
lawns and pastures. Does exceptionally well under dry sunny conditions. Good din mixtures with other 
lawn and pasture grasses, such as common rye grass, White Dutch Clover, Lespedeza and Hop Clover. 
It can be purchased both hulled and unhulled. We recommend the hulled as it germinates much quicker 
than the unhulled. However, the unhulled can be planted a few weeks earlier than the hulled. 
BLUE GRAMA is secondary in abundance to buffalo grass in western half of Kansas. This grass is equal to 
if not a little higher in palatability and nutritive content than buffalo grass, but, as is true of buffalo grass, 
its weak point is its low productivity. It will stand extreme drought, reviving and making rapid growth 
when favorable conditions return. Blue grama reproduces only by seed which in most years is of fairly 
good quality. The seed can be collected at a reasonable cost and good stands have been obtained where 
the seed has been planted. It is one of the most promising grasses to use on revegetating land in western 
Kansas. This grass will not stand so close grazing as buffalo grass. Blue Grama cures in the fall and 
early winter, if excessive moisture is not received during this period, retaining most of its nutritive 
properties. 
QUICK GREEN LAWN GRASS : 
MIXTURE—A mixture that has oe 
proven itself over and over. We . 
believe that it is better than 
straight blue grass. It is made 
up principally of blue grass 
and Rye Grass and other grasses 
that will grow rapidly and make 
a good showing immediately. For 
a nice, thick lawn sow one pound 
to 100 square feet.
