An Astonishing Grower 
This is a grass you can grow on exceed- 
ingly wet land and it is also a great 
drought resister. In one of the driest 
years we had in Iowa, Reed Canary grass 
stood out like an oasis in a desert. It 
yielded 3 tons per acre when it was so dry 
Sudan only made half a crop. Produces 2 
to 3 cuttings per year. It is a great crop 
It is good for hay or pasture. 
Grows 5 to 6 Ft. High 
It is a very leafy grass. You almost have to see it to appreciate 
it. Yields up to 3 to 5 tons of cured hay per acre in two cuttings. 
Second crop is leafier but not quite as tall. Tests show 9.43% pro- 
tein in first crop; 11.76 in second. A seeding lasts many years. Starts 
growing early in the spring and stays on the job until in the fall. 
Makes a strong sod. On land so wet cattle would bog down in it, 
Reed Canary grass made a sod so strong it would support a team and 
wagon. Its long life is indicated by a field in Minnesota that was 
used for hay crops for 15 years and then 18 years as a pasture. It is 
not a pest and can easily be eradicated by cultivation. 
While Reed Canary seed is rather hard to save, there is real money 
in a good seed crop. With yields of 100 to 400 lbs. per acre you can 
get a big extra income. You can harvest the seed and then still im- 
mediately after that get a good hay crop or a lot of pasture. This 
a , is a real money making crop.

Grass that tells how to grow it.

Dear Sir: 
I was very pleased with the seed I bought from you. 
It’s more than satisfactory and has given me some of 
the best crops I have ever grown. 
Yours truly,

A Remarkable Permanent Grass of Very Great Value 
are totally different. Spring seedings are 
practiced where winters are apt to be se- 
vere. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre alone or 8 
to 10 pounds in mixtures. All of these 
grasses of course come in the Gro-Coated 
Brand only. Postpaid prices 2 lbs. 80e; 5 
lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
Widely Adapted 
You may ask, “Can I grow Reed Canary Grass?” It is adapted from 
the Atlantic to the Pacific in the entire northern half of the United 
States and as far south as eastern Tennessee. Fall seeding is per- 
haps best in southern states, Frank Litchske of near Enid, Okla- 
homa, sowed Reed Canary grass in the fall. It has grown continually 
winter and summer for a long period of years. He grazed 20 head 
of Hereford cattle on 4 acres for 60 days continually and there was 
still plenty left. He also reported it made good hay and checked soil 
erosion very effectively in that wheat country. 
Gordon Arbischer of Chilton, Wis., says he gets 1 to 3 loads per 
acre per cutting. Ordinarily 4 tons per acre in two cuttings. Seed 
yields range up to 450 lbs. per acre. Some of the land he has it on is 
subject to overflow for as long as 6 months. The stand has been 
Kept for years. 
A Big Money Maker 
You can get hay and seed and pasture all in one year. First a 
seed crop which grows on tall stems. Then the leaves can be cut for 
hay and there will be plenty of growth for pasture and often a 
second hay crop. It will change worthless wet land to valuable 
acres. It will make money on good lands and it will save soils from 
washing. 
Sow around 8 pounds per acre on a firm seed bed. Early spring 
seedings are most common, excepting in the south. Be sure to write 
for our Free Circular on Reed Canary Grass. Small 
lots, Postpaid: 1 Ib., 65e; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.25.
