ALTA FESCUE 
BROME GRASS—One of our most drouth and cold resistant 
grasses. Roots may penetrate soil to 5 or 6 feet providing 
a large area from which to draw moisture and plant food. 
It has a tendency to become sod bound after 3 or 4 years, but 
if the soil is lightly plowed in the early spring or fall it breaks 
up this sod and the yield is greatly increased. 
LINCOLN (Southern Type)—This strain originated from sev- 
eral old fields in Nebraska and manifests uniform type, 
excellent yield and strong productivity. The general type is 
difficult to distinguish from Achenbach. 
Postpaid—S5 Ibs. $3.50, 10. Ibs. $6.75. 
NORTHERN TYPE—Was introduced from Siberia and has 
been found well adapted to Canada and northern great plains. 
Differs only in heights of stalks and color of leaves from 
southern type. 
Postpaid—5 ibs. $3.50, 10 Ibs. $6.75. 
BURNET—Belongs to Rose family. Considerable success has 
been secured in dry land planting. Maintains green growth 
into late summer if any moisture available, for sheep pasture. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 Ibs. $13.50. 
ALTA or TALL FESCUE—A selection from Meadow Fescue 
by Oregon Agricultural Exp. station. Could be pastured 
when leaves are young and succulent. If allowed to mature 
and become coarse it should be mowed to remove coarse 
stems. Does best when planted with a legume. 
Postpaid—5 ibs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.50. 
MEADOW FESCUE—Usually starts slowly. Once established 
maintains itself for many years. Difficult to seed by drill. In 
areas where seasonal flooding is detrimental to most good 
forage crops this plant will make excellent growth. Produces 
abundance of feed when grown in wet soils. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.75. 
BLUE GRAMA-—Is a perennial tufted grass adapted for the 
dry plains region; plants grow from 1 to 3 feet tall, used for 
reseeding range lands. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 Ibs. $13.50. 
SAND DROP SEED — Best on sandy or semi-sandy soils. A 
native dryland grass good for binding soil and very palatable. 
Seed is small and inexpensive. In mixtures with wheat grasses 
and bromes, Sand Drop will provide abundant forage while 
the slower growers are establishing themselves. Sow two to 
five pounds per. acre. 
Postpald—5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Derives name from ability to grow in shade 
of trees. Of special importance is its ability to grow both 
early in the spring and late in the fall. The main stems have 
a tendency to become tough and woody if allowed to mature. 
Livestock often avoid these stems and it is advisable to mow 
the field to rid it of coarse bunches. 
Postpaid—sS Ibs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.75, 
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 pene- 
trating 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 nu- 
tritious of the range grasses. It is easily established from 
seed and volunteers aggressively. Use one pound per acre, 
covering seed to a depth of %4 inch.

RANGE and PASTURE GRASSES 
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. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $6.25, 10 Ibs. $12.00. 
REED CANARY GRASS—Has achieved considerable import- 
ance in areas that are subject to periodic overflow. It will 
withstand a great deal of pasturing if not pastured too close. 
Not recommended for extremely hot areas. 
Postpaid—sS lbs. $5.00, 10 Ibs. $9.75. 
ANNUAL DOMESTIC RYE GRASS—Due to its ability to pro- 
duce a quick heavy stand it is often used in combination 
with slower starting perennial forage mixtures. It produces 
a quick feed and at the same time holds weeds in check until 
slower starting perennials can grow. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $2.25, 10 Ibs. $4.00. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—Has all advantages of Domestic 
Rye Grass except in areas where rust is present. High palat- 
ability makes it extremely popular as an ingredient in per- 
manent pasture mixtures. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $2.75, 10 Ibs. $5.25. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS — Stands pasturing well and 
produces an abundance of forage from early spring until 
late fall. Do not plant in shade. 
Postpaid—S5 Ibs. $6.25, 10 Ibs. $11.50. 
TIMOTHY—One of the most popular grasses for hay and 
pasture. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $3.75, 10 Ibs. $7.25. 
CRESTED WHEAT—Clipping or pasturing the grass in the 
spring apparently stimulates growth, which causes it to 
remain green longer in the summer and green up earlier 
in the fall. Usually two years before fully established.

FAIRWAY STRAIN—See Page 43 for description. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $4.25, 10 Ibs. $8.00. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Blue Stem)—Is a drought resist- 
ant, long-lived perennial grass. Produces excellent forage 
for grazing and hay. 
Postpaid—5 ibs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.50. 
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. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $4.25, 10 Ibs. $8.00. 
INTERMEDIATE WHEAT GRASS—This is a tall, cool season 
grass, which spreads from moderately vignrous 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. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $6.25, 10 Ibs. $12.00. 
PUBESCENT WHEATGRASS (Stiff Hair Grass)—A long lived 
alkali-tolerant grass more drought resistant than Interme- 
diate but adapted to the same kinds of soil. Tall growing, 
large seeded, rather coarse seed with hairy foliage. Sod 
forming, heavy root producing grass. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $7.50, 10 Ibs. $14.00. 
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 favorably 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. 
Postpaid—5 Ibs. $5.00, 10 Ibs. $9.50. . 
RUSSIAN WILD RYE—A long-lived, drouth-resistant perennial 
which is tolerant of low-fertility soils. It is a densely tufted 
bunch grass with an extensive, fibrous root system which 
starts growth later in the spring than Crested Wheat and 
matures about three weeks later. The leaves remain green 
throughout the summer and fall and the plant has good 
recovery growth. The seedlings are weak and slow to estab- 
lish. Once established the plants are vigorous and will with- 
stand heavy utilization.
