HAY, PASTURE AND RANGE GRASS SEEDS 
BROME, Smooth. A _ long-lived perennial which spreads by 
under ground root stalks, forming a dense sod. Highly palat- 
able. Does well up to 9300 elevation. Should be in all irri- 
gated pastures and does fairly well on dry land. Will form 
a good sod for ditch banks. Lincoln Brome yields more than 
common Brome. Sow 20 pounds per acre on irrigated ground; 
pods on dry land. Fertilize Brome with Ammonium 
itrate. 
BROME, Mountain. Short-lived perennial bunch grass. Starts 
early in spring and stays green late in fall. Has excellent 
reseeding habits. Does well in timberlands. Sow 20 pounds 
per acre. 
ACHENBACHER BROME. A selection by Kansas Experi- 
mental Station. This and Lincoln Brome produce more hay 
and pasture than Canadian Brome. 
LINCOLN BROME. Smooth Brome selected by Nebraska Ex- 
perimental Station for its abundance of foliage. 
CRESTED WHEAT. The leading dry land grass in the north- 
ern section of the West. Crested Wheat Grass is a _ long- 
lived perennial of the bunch grass type but tillers profusely. 
It also does well when irrigated, grows in both light sandy 
loams and hedvy clay soils. Best results, however, are ob- 
tained on soils of medium texture. Crested is slightly toler- 
ant to Alkali. It does well up to 8,000 feet elevation and 
late reports are showing that it is doing good down in Texas. 
Crested Wheat is palatable to live stock. If cut for hay, it 
should be cut shortly after heading of just after blooming but 
before seeds have formed. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre in 
late fall or early spring at a depth of % to 1 inch. Crested 
Wheat furnishes early and late grazing. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. Fairway Strain. Grows shorter 
than the Standard strain, has more and finer leaves and 
produces about the same amount of hay. Can be used for 
lawns in dry sections. 
INTERMEDIATE WHEAT GRASS. _ A tall bluish-green sod 
forming perennial grass that produces a heavy growth of 
basal leaves. Growth starts early in the spring, and con- 
tinues on into the summer; greens up in fall after short 
dormant period. Highly nutritious. Does well on dry land 
and under irrigation. Drill seed % to % inch deep in heavy 
soils and 1% inches deep in sandy land. Plant 7 to 10 
pounds per acre for solid stands, and 4 pounds per acre for 
seed production in 40 inch rows. 
SLENDER WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum tenerum.) Another 
good perennial with drought-resisting habits. _ Produces 1% 
tons of hay per acre, which is well liked by livestock. 
PUBESCENT or STIFF HAIR WHEAT GRASS. An excellent 
drought resistant wheat grass. Grows taller than Crested and 
stands more dry weather than Intermediate. Sow 8 to 10 
pounds per acre. 
BLUE GRAMA GRASS. Valuable for reseeding ranges. Resis- 
tant to over grazing. Sow 12 pounds per acre in March or 
April not to exceed % to 1 inch deep. 
NATIVE RYE GRASS. A quick growing grass, half annual and 
half perennial. Excellent for lawns when used with Kentucky 
Blue Grass, as it grows fast and protects the blue grass. 
Sow 30 per cent native rye and 70 per cent blue grass. 
MEADOW FESCUE or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Festuca 
Pratensis). Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Suc- 
ceeds on poor soils, makes good hay earlier than other var- 
jeties, cattle thrive on it whether in dry or green state. 
Withstands dry weather and freezing, and produces an 
abundant crop of seed. Sow 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata). Withstands droughts, 
grows well in the shade, flourishes in wet or poor ground. 
Good pasture for cows. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
RED TOP GRASS. One of our best native grasses. Especially 
valuable for sowing on sour or acid soils, swampy or meadow 
lands, liable to overflow, and on soils that are not rich enough 
for Timothy and other grasses. Mixed with Alsike Clover 
makes fine crop of hay or excellent pasture. Fourteen pounds 
of solid seed to the acre. Should be cut when in full flower. 
More easily cured than any other grass. 
REED CANARY GRASS. A perennial that will do well in very 
moist places. Makes good hay and pasture. Sow six pounds 
per acre. Smothers out weeds. 
SAND DROP SEED. A native dry land grass, good for binding 
soil and very palatable. Seed is very small and inexpensive. 
Plant 2 to 3 pounds per acre. 
SAND LOVE GRASS. A lush growing, fine stemmed, medium 
tall bunch grass which produces a high yield of excellent 
forage. A real beef producer; adapted to most sandy areas 
in the Great Plains region. Plant 1 to 2 pounds per acre, 
preferably in the spring. Advisable to mix with Grama where 
patches of heavy soils are apparent. 
SUDAN. Used for hay and temporary pasture. Plant 20 to 
30 pounds on dry land and 40 to 50 pounds on irrigated. Sweet 
Sudan has sweeter stalk and is more palatable to livestock. 
Sudan that has been frosted or damaged by drought or that 
contains cane-hybrids is dangerous to stock on pasture. 
SWEET SUDAN. This was produced by crossing standard 
Sudan with Leoti Red Sorghum. The result is a hardy variety 
with heavy, wide leaves and a sweet juicy stalk. It is resis- 
tant to drought and foliage diseases. Live stock feeders pre- 
fer it to standard Sudan. Give it a try. 
TALL OR ALTA FESCUE. Somewhat coarser than Meadow 
Fescue and more drought resistant, more productive and 
more alkali tolerant. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. A tall, long-lived, deep-rooted 
perennial that is winter hardy. Height 3 to 5 feet. Requires 
well-drained, light soils, with medium moisture. Used for 
hay and pasture. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense.) Well adapted to spring and 
summer grazing, greatly relished by all kinds of stock, es- 
pecially horses. Excellent hay crop. Sow 10 to 12 pounds 
to the acre. 
TIMOTHY AND ALSIKE (Mixed). Used extensively in the 
mountain area. We can supply mixtures containing 10 per 
cent, 20 per cent, 30 per cent, and 40 per cent Alsike. 
WEEPING LOVE GRASS. A high producing grass from South 
Africa that supports more cattle per acre than most grasses, 
but not so much gain per head. Not very.palatable and not 
long-lived. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Agropyrum Smithii). Grows 
taller than Crested Wheat Grass and produces more hay per 
acre, but does not provide as much pasturage. A good drought 
resister and perennial. 
TALL WHEAT GRASS.. A tall perennial bunch grass. Shows 
great promise for hay and pastures under wet, seepy, al- 
kaline conditions, high altitude areas, and more limited use in 
semi-arid areas. Starts growth in early spring and continues 
late into summer. Greens up in fall after short dormant 
period. Very nutritious. Use as a hay or pasture grass in 
alkaline or wet areas where other wrasses do not produce; 
in connection with other pastures to extend grazing season 
because of late maturity; in mixture in low wet ends of water- 
ways; or in low areas subject to flooding or standing water. 
Plant 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
BUFFALO GRASS. A long-lived perennial which spreads by 
runners. Highly drought resistant. For pastures use 3 
pounds per acre mixed with 6 pounds of Grama. For dry 
land lawns plant one pound to 400 sq. ft. Treated seed hastens 
germination.
