GRASSES 
We regret the price increase of grass seed this year. This is due to 
the extreme dry season. We have a good stock on hand at this time. 
The demand for grasses and legumes to plant surplus wheat acreage 
may deplete this stock early.

DESCRIPTION OF GRASSES: 
Manchar Brome—A tall erect leafy variety that has proven very 
satisfactory in the Northwest. Does not become sod bound as soon as 
the regular brome. 
Alta Fescue—An outstanding grass for either hay or pasture. Tol- 
erant of alkali, yet stands considerable drought and dry weather. Vigor- 
ous grower and very palatible. 
Tall Wheat Grass—Very alkali tolerant, and grows with as little 
as 10 inches rainfall. A tall, late maturing bunch grass, germinates 
readily, but slow in coming into full production. 
Intermediate Wheat Grass—This grass stays green three weeks or 
more longer than native or Crested Wheat. Stems large, coarse and 
leafy. Does well with about 15 inches of moisture, which is about aver- 
age rainfall in our part of the country. 
Modified Huntley Pasture Mixture—This is the original mixture 
recommended by the Huntley Experiment Station, changed to leave out 
the Kentucky Blue Grass so as to make it more suitable for hay meadow 
for the first cutting. It cantains 30% Brome, 30% Orchard Grass, 20% 
Meadow Fescue, and 15% Alsike and 5% White Dutch Clover. We have 
sold thousands of pounds of this mixture and there are many acres of 
fine meadow land in Sheridan County and the surrounding territory. 
Prices in above price list. 
Mountaineer Hay and Pasture Mixture—An excellent mixture mak- 
ing use of the Alta Fescue, a grass recently introduced. Contains 27% 
Brome Grass, 26% Orchard Grass, 27% Alta Fescue, and 15% Alsike 
and 5% White Dutch Clover. The low price of both Brome and Alta 
Fescue makes this mixture especially attractive this year for either hay 
ah a Sow at the rate of about 18 to 20 lbs. per acre. Prices in 
above list.
