Orchard Grass.— This is a well known and 
- valuable grass, either for hayorpasture. It succeeds 
well on most soils, but does best on loamy or mod- 
erately stiff soils, but not very wet. It comes early 
in the Spring, and continues well into Winter. It is 
of quick growth, and relished by stock, especially 
when young, and bears close grazing. It makes ex- 
cellent hay, and does well mixed and grown with 
Red Clover, which ripens at the same time. It 
should be cut when in biossom, as the hay is injured 
if the seed ripens. It can be sown in the Spring or 
Fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bushels 
_ per acre if by itself; or one bushel Orchard Grass 
and ten pounds of Clover make a fine mixture. 
Per pound, 15c. Per bushel of 14 ]bs., about $1.50

Red Top, or Herd’s Grass. — An excellent 
grass, indigenous to moist soils, and does well on 
either upiands or lowlands. It is hardy and yields 
about a ton and a half per acre of fine hay of excel- 
lent quality. The stalks are weak and leaves fine. 
It starts to grow rather late and is suitable to grow 
with Timothy, as it flowers at the same time, and is 
adapted to the same kind of soil, though it will 
thrive in wetter land than Timothy. It is a good 
grazing grass and can be pastured during most of the 
year. After being cut it yields good grazing and 
when it gets established will exterminate most other 
grasses. Sow twelve pounds per acre of the Fancy 
Clean Seed. The Fancy Clean Seed is much the 
best and most satisfactory to sow. When sown with 
Timothy, sow six pounds of the Fancy Clean Seed, 
and eight pounds Timothy, per acre. Sow in the 
Spring or Fall.

Fancy. Cleaned Kentucky Blue Grass 
Seed suits almost any soil. It makes a compact 
turf, retains its verdure during the hottest summers 
and makes its most iuxuriant growth in Spring and 
Autumn, and is indispensable as a pasture grass. At 
first it 1s a little tardy about starting, but is always a 
reliable and satisfactory grass. Fancy Kentucky 
Blue Grass Seed is clean of weeds and chaff and 
should have first preference, When the Fancy Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass Seed is used by itself, sow twenty 
pounds to the acre; when sown with Timothy use 
twelve pound Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass and ten 
_pounds Timothy. Pound, lic. Bushcei, 14 lbs., $1.50 
Timothy.—This grass is most commonly culti- — 
vated for hay and for that purpose probably sur- 
passes all other grasses in cultivation. It makes the 
best hay for horses and market on the entire list;and 
being early grass, is well adapted for Spring graz- 
ing. It is a perennial and if the meadow is kept in 
good fertility by surface dressing it will bear crops 
indefinitely. Pound,10c. Bushel, 45 lbs., $1.60. 
German or Golden Millets. 
The Millet is a very valuable forage crop and has 
become very popular with all planters. The German 
or Golden is decidedly the best variety to grow pro- 
ducing large crop of fine grass, ranging in growth 
from four and one-half to six feet high, according to 
strength of soil, which can be cut green or made into 
hay and is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. Its 
yield is from one and one-half to two and one-half 
tons to the acre. It requires a bushel to sow one 
acre. Lowest market price.
