SEEDS 
SUBCLOVER—Gets its name because of its 
seeding habit; seed produced in small burs 
on slender stalks which turn downward and 
bury the bur. Will produce big tonnages of 
fine clover forage on light, hill soils where 
other covers give negligible results. Used 
principally for non-irrigated seedings west 
of the Cascades. Quite drouth resistant. 
KENLAND RED CLOVER — Better foliage, 
more disease resistant, more winter hardy 
and more drought resistant than the old 
common Red Clover. This is a better strain 
of clover for the progressive farmer. It 
grows under the same conditions as com- 
mon Red Clover. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL (Lotus Corniculatus) 
and BIG TREFOIL (Lotus Major)—These two 
legumes are becoming increasingly popu- 
lar. They both make fine hay and pasturage 
and are especially good in mixtures of 
grass. WILL NOT BLOAT. 
Birdsfoot Trefoil has wide adaptation of soil 
conditions (is even alkali tolerant) and will 
grow luxuriantly from rich bottom land to 
sandy hill land. 
LILLY’S ALTA No. 144—A superior strain of 
Alta Fescue that is darker green in color, 
which roots more deeply, and has a softer, 
more palatable leaf for succulent pasturage. 
Regular Alta Fescue has a tendency to de- 
velop a wiry edge if not pastured down. 
Lilly's Alta has the soft leaf that is more 
satisfying to stock. Truly a superior grass. 
Don't ask for ‘Alta Fescue’’—ask for Lilly's 
Alta No, 144 Fescue. 
INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS—One of the 
best grasses for seeding range lands. A late 
maturing grass. Stays green 3 to 6 weeks 
longer than native grasses. An especially 
valuable feature where summers are rain- 
less. Best adapted at elevations ranging 
from 1,000 to 3,500 ft. but has done well at 
elevations up to 6,000 ft. 
MANCHAR SMOOTH BROME—tThe finest 
Brome available for Pacific Northwest. A 
superb forage producer of more leafy, suc- 
* culent grass. Is winter hardy and drought 
resistant. 
conditions. 
Will do well even in very dry 
ete 
Big Trefoil adaptable to marshy conditions. 
Soil must be kept moist at all times for best 
growth. Not drouth-resistant. Withstands 
more acidity than most plants, but not alkali. 
Valuable for controlling bracken fern. 
YELLOW MADRID SWEET CLOVER—Intro- 
duced from Spain by the USDA. Lower 
growing and makes fewer stems and more 
leafy growth than the common variety. One 
of the most alkali-tolerant plants. Drouth- 
resistant. Valued for its ability to thrive 
on sandy soils. 
LILLY’S BEST WHITE CLOVER—An excel- 
lent plant for lawns and pastures and in 
some sections a valuable seed crop. For 
best growth, it requires a rather consistent 
supply of moisture and a fertile soil. The 
seed germinates quickly, makes a fast start 
and has rapid recovery after cutting or 
pasturing. Thrives best on lands contain- 
ing an abundance of lime. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER—The most alkali- 
tolerant Clover. Requires considerable mois- 
ture, but will survive short period of drouth. 
Not a heavy producer but useful in seeding 
low spots where it is too wet or too alkaline 
for other clovers. 
FORAGE GRASSES 
MEADOW FOXTAIL — For moist, low 
ground. The very earliest grass in the 
spring. It will give an added two or three 
weeks pasturing. The grass is very suc- 
culent and well liked by stock. Works well 
with Ladino Clover on low, wet soils and 
irrigated land. 
ORCHARD GRASS AKAROA —The New 
Zealand government selected strain—very 
similar to S-143—is tremendously more suc- 
cessful than ordinary Orchard Grass. Its 
finer, more abundant foliage is more pleas- 
ing to livestock and produces more meat 
and more milk. 
COMMON ORCHARD GRASS (Danish)—A 
good strain of Orchard Grass that is earlier 
than §-143 and Okaroa. Perhaps a little 
more “'stemmy” but its early growth is very 
beneficial. 
ORCHARD GRASS S-143—A relatively new 
strain selected in Wales. More leafy—better 
producer—more palatable—stays green into 
summer. Ask for 8-143 Orchard Grass— 
costs more—worth more. 
SUDAN GRASS IN ROWS FOR SEED PRODUCTION 
TUALATIN OAT GRASS 
PUBESCENT WHEATGRASS—Similar io In- 
termediate Wheatgrass except that the foli- 
age is somewhat hairy. Used for the same 
purpose but has a wider adaptability to 
soils, more alkali-tolerant, and has greater 
possibilities for pasture and hay. 
TIMOTHY — One of the most universally 
known and cultivated grasses especially 
adapted to cool, moist soils. The seed is 
usually low in price and of high germina- 
tion making it a favorite with farmers. It is 
a standard grass for hay in all parts of the 
country. 
TUALATIN OATGRASS—Another Dr. H. A. 
Schoth of the U. S. Department of Agri- 
culture development. A big improvement 
over the old Tall Meadow Oatgrass. A won- 
derful forage producer. Unlike the old Oat- 
grass, this new strain has ‘‘de-awned”’ 
seeds that will work in mixtures and will 
pour readily through a seeder.
