The Famous Fescue Grasses 
These grasses have such great merit that we want to emphasize their importance. They should be in pasture on many farms. 
Missouri is now giving strong recommendation to these because they withstood 1953 drought best of all.

Better Stands 
This is a superb new Strain of Alta Fescue. The leaves are 
darker green, softer and smoother. They remain palatable for 
a longer period. Live stock like its lush, green growth. Hven 
as it gets older it still retains this soft texture. You can readily 
see why there is such a tremendous demand for this new grass. 
It has an extremely long growing season. Where winters are 
not too severe it will stay on the job year around. It ig even 
deeper rooted than the regular Alta or Ky. 31. The plant can 
use deep soil moisture throughout the summer. It will thrive 
on most any soil excepting light land. It will stand a lot of 
overflow and quite wet conditions in general, yet it is also a 
good drouth resistant grass. It has the same heavy root system 
described in the Alta Fescue above. It helps to put a lot of 
humus in the soil. In Alta 144 Fescue you get everything that 
regular Alta or Ky. 31 can give you plus the softer leaf.

The Finest Certified Seed 
The demand for Alta 144 Fescue last year exceeded our 
supply. We are better fixed this year. We have arranged for 
a good supply of finest quality certified seed. It’s a beautiful 
Blue Tag grade. You can’t buy it any nicer. We couldn’t 
arrange to have it Gro-Coated in the production area so we 
had to break the seals when the seed came to us in order to 
Gro-Coat it. While there will be no state seals attached it will 
be the genuine article and every pound Gro-Coated to give you 
greater assurance of getting better stands. Price postpaid: 2 
lbs., $1.15; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.75. See Item 144 on 
our price list. 
Bertrand, Nebr. 
Gentlemen: 
I have always found your seed to be of good quality 
and have had consistently fine results with it. 
Very truly yours, 
Swenson Brothers,
