BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL—{Lotus Cornicu- 
latus) and BIG TREFOIL (Lotus Major)— 
These two legumes are becoming in- 
creasingly popular. They both make 
fine hay and pasturage and are es- 
pecially good in mixtures of grass. 
Birdsfoot Trefoil has much wider adap- 
tation of soil conditions (is even alkali 
tolerant) and will grow luxuriantly from 
rich bottom land to sandy hill land. 
Big Trefoil has its best growth in low 
wet. soils, 
LILLY’S BEST. WHITE CLOVER—An ex- 
cellent plant for lawns and pastures and 
in some sections a valuable seed crop. 
For best growth, it requires a rather 
consistent supply of moisture and a 
fertile soil, The seed germinates quick- 
ly makes a: fast start and has rapid 
recovery after cutting or pasturing. 
Thrives best on lands containing an 
abundance of lime. 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER—A strong, tap- 
rooted plant growing 4 to 6 feet in 
+ 
height on practically all soils, Used 
principally as a pasture plant and for 
green manure. 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER—Similar in 
growing characteristics to White Sweet 
Clover but about two weeks earlier. 
Also shorter plants than White Sweet 
Clover therefore fits in better for orchard 
cover crops. 
YELLOW MADRID SWEET CLOVER—A 
big improvement over the Yellow and 
White Sweet Clover. Produces finer 
foilage, heavier production and excep- 
tionally deep roots makes this strain 
really outstanding. 
ALTA FESCUE—Rated as the tinest 
overall forage grass ever developed 
anywhere, Selected in Oregon by Dr. 
H. A. Schoth of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture. Ideally adapted to a 
wide variety of conditions. Deep roots 
for late summer pasture. A genuine 
soil builder that even eradicates noxious 
weeds. 
Profitable pasture management 
BEGINS WITH “LILLY'S BEST” 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXES 
Lilly’s scientists in agriculture have gathered data through 
hundreds of trial-ground tests of various experimental mix- 
tures to give you TODAY’S 
iia 
just-right” blend for greener 
pastures through the dry months and earlier growth to allow 
pasiuring several weeks earlier in the spring. Available in 
“lowland” and “upland” mixtures. You'll find LILLY'S is the 
BEST Permanent Pasture Mix. Only the choicest lots of clov- 
ers and grasses are selected after rigid tests for purity and 
germination - assurance 
of uniform high quality 
and production. 
White Clover 
SMOOTH BROME GRASS—A hardy, 
smooth, erect, drought-resisting, peren- 
nial grass. Forms an excellent sod for 
pasturage. Resistant to extreme cold 
and heat. A fine “upland” grass. 
_ MOUNTAIN BROME GRASS—Similar to 
Smooth Brome Grass in every respect 
except that it grows more upright and 
is therefore better in hay mixtures. 
ORCHARD GRASS—A long-lived peren- 
nial especially suited to rather rough 
lands or well-drained uplands, It makes 
a very good growth in the open and 
makes a better growth under shaded 
conditions than most other grasses. As 
a pasture grass produces a large quan- 
tity of forage. It should be cut for hay 
at the beginning of the bloom stage. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS — Oi 
rapid, luxuriant growth. Matures exactly 
with Orchard Grass and Red Clover. 
Stands pasturing well, remaining green 
in the late fall. Thrives on both up 
land and well-drained bottoms. 
TUALATIN OATGRASS—Another Dr. 
Schoth development, A big improve- 
ment over the old Tall Meadow Oat 
Grass. A wonderful forage producer. 
Unlike the old Oat Grass, this new 
strain has “de-awned” seeds that will 
work in mixtures and will pour readily 
through a seeder, 
TIMOTHY—One of the most universally 
known and cultivated grasses especially 
adapted to cool, moist soils. The seed 
is usually low in price and of high 
germination making it a favorite with 
farmers, It is a standard grass for hay 
in all parts of the country.
