GRASS SEEDS FOR HAY AND PASTURE 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis) (Lincoln)—Yields enormous 
crops of splendid hay, and affords early and abundant pas- 
ture. It adapts itself to almost ahy 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. 
MOUNTAIN BROME—This stout perennial bunch grass does 
well between the altitudes of five to ten thousand feet. It 
has a very wide range of soil adaptations, varying from fairly 
moist loamy soils where the best growth is made, to fairly 
dry, gravelly soils. Makes a fine pasture and where it can 
be cut for hay, it makes a very fine feed for horses and 
cattle. Good stands may be obtained by. broadcasting on 
areas where seed bed preparation is not possible. Sow either 
spring or fall at the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS (Western Rye Grass)—Grows in 
tall erect bunches which sometimes cover a space of one foot 
in diameter. It is a perennial, resistant to both drought and 
cold. Has ability to grow in alkali land and.-is very palatable 
to cattle and horses. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Standard or Forage Strain)—It is 
a drought resistant, long-lived grass. It is equal or better, in 
feed value for hay or pasture to Brome Grass, Slender Wheat 
Grass, Western Wheat Grass and is relished by livestock and 
yields as well or better. Sow seed at the rate of 10 lbs. per 
acre, either broadcasted or drilled in or from 4 to 5 pounds 
per acre when planted in 3-foot rows, to be cultivated and 
raised primarily for a seed crop. 
FAIRWAY STRAIN—See Page 43. 
KOCHIA—This hardy annual has recently been recommended 
as an excellent dry land forage crop, produces two crops of 
hay per season that is well liked by cattle, sheep and horses. 
The foliage is similar in appearance to that of Juniper Ever- 
greens but is soft and very palatable, grows 15 to 24 inches 
high, very bushy producing an abundance of feed. Kochia 
is extremely drought resistant and will grow on any type of 
soil. It usually reseeds itself and maintains a good stand 
of plants for several years. Sow at the rate of 2 to 3 
pounds per acre. Postpaid (Ib. $1.50). 
INTERMEDIATE WHEAT GRASS—tThis is a tall cool season 
grass, which spreads from moderately vigorous underground 
root stalks to produce a sod. At Fort Collins this grass starts 
growth in late February or early March and attains a height 
of 6 inches, between April 10th and 20th. It makes a lush 
growth of leaves in early spring, heads during July and 
matures in August. With good fall moisture regrowth takes 
place and % to % the normal forage production may again 
be produced. The leafage growth before heading is quite 
palatable as the leaves are broad and soft like Smooth Brome 
Grass. The seed is large and clean and can be drilled with 
an ordinary grain drill. 
TALL OR GIANT WHEAT GRASS (Agropyron Elongatum)— 
This is a special use grass needed for problem areas, on 
ground that has irrigation seepage, high water table or wet 
alkaline condition. The Grass is somewhat coarse, erect 
perennial with a bunch-type growth, an abundance of long 
basal and stem leaves make it a high forage producer com- 
paring favorable with the rest of the wheat grass. Like other 
cool season grasses, Tall Wheat Grass does most of its grow- 
ing in the early spring and fall. Seed is ready to harvest 
in August and even at this time foliage is green. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Blue Stem)—Is a drought resist- 
ant, long-lived perennial grass. Produces excellent forage 
for grazing and hay. 
RED TOP (Solid Seed)—Valuable for low land, as it is not in- 
jured by water. It also grows well on high land. Grows 2 to 3 
feet high, and makes very good hay. Finest recleaned seed. 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
TIMOTHY—One of the most popular grasses for hay and pas- 
ture. Sow 9 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. Fancy re- 
cleaned seed. 
BUFFALO GRASS—See write-up on page 43. 
Postpaid (Ib. $1.75) (5 Ibs. $8.25) (10 Ibs. $16.00). 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS—A long-lived, deep rooted and 
drougth-resistant perennial grass. It produces an abundance 
of very palatable forage. This grass has proven to be one of 
the most desirable from the standpoint of productivity and 
palatability; comparing very favorably with Smooth Brome. 
Tall Meadow gives best results for pasture when sown in a 
mixture with other grasses and clover. It stands grazing 
well, furnishing an abundance of early spring pasturage 
and remains productive until late autumn. 
ORCHARD GRASS—A strong growing, rather coarse, grass, 
good for pasture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. 
Grows in tufts so should be sown with other early flowering 
grasses. Orchard grass makes a very rapid growth after being 
cut and affords good pasture within a week or ten days after 
cutting. Stands drought well as the roots extend deep into the 
soil. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. 
ALTA OR TALL FESCUE—Tall Fescue is rapidly gaining in 
popularity and has supplanted Meadow Fescue in many areas. 
It is somewhat coarse but is more drought-resistant, more 
productive, and more alkali-tolerant. Livestock find it fully 
as palatable. The growth period and other characteristics are 
the same except that Meadow Fescue is preferable on marshy 
lands. 
REED CANARY GRASS—Is one perennial grass that will 
thrive in marshy places, stands under water for weeks with- 
out injury, yields enormous tonnage of hay with feed value 
equal to wheat bran. Sow any time before June 20th at the 
rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre, broadcast. It forms a sod 
rapidly through the spreading of underground roots. Makes 
your low lands grow profitable crops. 
GRAMA GRASS—Is a perennial tufted grass adapted for the 
dry plains region; plants grow from 1 to 8 feet tall, used for 
reseeding range lands. Limited quantity of seed available this 
season. : 
SAND DROP SEED—Best on sandy or semi-sandy soils. In 
mixture with Wheat Grasses and Bromes. Sand drop will 
provide abundant forage while the slower growers are estab- 
lishing themselves. Sow two to five pounds 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 stools 
wonderfully and produces, under favorable conditions, as 
many as 100 stalks from a single root. 
SWEET SUDAN—A greatly improved’ Sudan Grass from a 
hybridization of Leota Red Sorghum on Common Sudan. It: 
has great palatability, livestock eating it to the ground be- 
fore 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 recom- 
mend that every farmer put in at least a few rows to prove to 
himself the many advantages for both hay and grazing over 
common Sudan. 
WEEPING LOVE GRASS—A perennial bunch grass from 
South Africa that is especially well adapted to all well 
drained soils in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and 
Colorado. Its uses for pasture hay and erosion control holds 
great promise for many areas. Grows 5 to 6 ft. tall, with 
luxuriant basal growth of extremely long, slender leaves. 
One of the earliest grasses in the spring and last to turn 
brown in the fall, high in protein. April seems best for 
planting the seed, using one pound of clean seed to the 
acre, covering seed to a depth of %4 inch. 
SAND LOVE GRASS—A vigorous long lived native bunch 
grass, thriving on sandy soils of the great plains. Grows 3 
to 6 ft. tall, with slightly hairy leaf blades about 12 inches 
long with a distinctive purple cast. Leafy foliage, primarily 
basal, is abundant, roots are vigorous, spreading and deeply 
penetrating and therefor of value in conservation. Plants 
begin growth very early in spring and remain green until 
late fall. It is generally considered one of the most palatable 
and nutritious of the range grasses. It is easily established 
from seed and volunteers aggressively. Use one pound per 
acre, covering seed to a depth of % inch.
