Grass Seeds 
For Hay and Pasture 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis) 
Yields enormous crops of splendid hay, and af- 
fords early and abundant pasture. It adapts itself 
to almost any condition of soil and climate and 
to any use to which grass may be put. The roots 
penetrate the soil deeply and form fresh plants 
on every side. It starts, from two to three weeks 
earlier in the spring than native prairie grass, 
and keeps green in autumn longer than any of 
the useful grasses grown in the West. No amount 
of cold seems to affect it, and it surpasses all 
other grasses in resisting heat and drought. It 
equals timothy for hay, and is splendid to sow 
with alfalfa clover, meadow fescue or orchard 
grass for pasture.

resistant, more productive, and more alkali-tol- 
erant. Livestock find it fully as palatable, The 
growth period and other characteristics are the 
same except that Meadow Fescue is preferable 
on marshy lands.

heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 pounds of seed per acre.

SUDAN GRASS (For Hay and Pasture) 
Sudan Grass is strictly an annual, and dies each 
year like millet. Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a 
height of from 7 to 9 feet. The stems are small 
and are rarely larger than a lead pencil. The 
plant stcols wonderfully and produces, under 
favorable conditions, as many as 100 stalks from 
a single root. 
(ASK FOR PRICES) 
SWEET SUDAN 
A greatly improved Sudan Grass from a hybri- 
dization of Leota Red Sorghum on Common Su- 
dan. It has great palatability, livestock eating it 
to the ground before touching common sudan or 
other forage sorghums. Sweet Sudan has broader 
leaves, larger stems and makes taller growth, 
stooling heavier than common Sudan. It is a truly 
great improvement over common Sudan and in our 
opinion will completely replace common Sudan. 
We recommend that every farmer put in at least 
a few rows to prove to himself the many advant- 
ages for both hay and grazing over common Su- 
dan.
