Where a grass or grasses is desired for laying down for a period of 10 or more years we would 

 earnestly draw the farmers' attention to the first 7 mentioned grasses which have proven them- 

 selves as thoroughly adapted to the Northwest and Western States, and as they become better 

 known their cultivation is rapidly increasing. They do well in mixture with clover and should 

 be sown at the rate of 25 pounds per acre, four-fifths grasses to one-fifth clover seed. 



BROMUS INERMIS, OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 



An exceedingly valuable grass, succeeds and produces immense crops of high nutritive value 

 on the sterile and arid plains of our Western States, growing luxuriantly on dry, sandy soils, where 

 other grasses would perish. It is perennial, and once sown down will stand for 10 years. It is one 

 of the surest to obtain a catch from establishing itself very rapidly, so much so that a good Hay 

 crop can be had the first season, followed afterwards by an immense amount of succulent pastur- 

 age; two crops a year can be had from it, often running over 5 tons cured Hay per acre. When 

 fully grown the plant stands from 4 to 5 feet in height and stools out freely; it is ready to cut the 

 latter part of June. This is the Russian Grass or Russian Brome Grass of some writers. 



Sow broadcast at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre (14 lbs. per bushel). Per lb. 15c; per bushel $1.50; 

 per 100 lbs. $10.00. Beware of adulterations. 



AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 



Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass (Festuca pratensis) 

 — One of the best of the natural or permanent meadow 

 grasses. It is very hardy and succeeds in almost all 

 soils, but attains its greatest perfection in moist, rich 

 land, coming into use very early and again late in the 

 fall. It should form a prominent part in all permanent 

 pasture and meadow mixtures. (22 lbs. to the bushel.) 

 Per lb. 12c; per bushel $2.25; per 100 lbs $10.00 



Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata) — Is of exceptional 

 value for permanent pastures and for Hay crops. It is 

 very early, coming in ahead of all the other grasses, 

 recovers quickly after being cut, and endures close 

 cropping by cattle. All kinds of stock relish it greatly, 

 and if cut when it comes into flower makes excellent 

 Hay. Thrives well on all soils and attains its greatest

 early and late pasturage, furnishing a nice, sweet and

 uriant aftermath. Many farmers confound this with our 

 wild Foxtail or Squirrel Grass, which is a great mistake,
