TIMOTHY 
(PHLEUM PRATENSE.) 
The most widely grown and probably 
most valuable grass used for Hay in this 
country. It i 1 perennial, but runs out 
in a few years, and should be thickened 
up annually with fresh sowings of Seed. 
It is often sown with Clover and Red 
Top and does best and has a higher feed- 
ing value when used in such combina- 
tion. Most satisfactory crops are secured 
on rich, rather heavy soils, as it is not 
as well adapted to light soils. Sow 15 to 
20 lbs. per acre, and use only the best 
Seed obtainable. Our stock is Wisconsin 
grown and thoroughly recleaned. 
Per lb. 25c (by mail 32c); 10 lbs. $1.60; 
45 lbs. (1 bu.) $6.75; 100 lbs. $14.50. 
Fescue, or English Blue Glass 
BROMUS INERMIS 
OR 
AWNLESS BROME GRASS, 
An exceedingly valuable grass, suc- 
ceds 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 per- 
ennial, and once sown down will stand 
for 10 years. A good Hay crop can be 
had the first season, followed afterwards 
by an immense amount of succulent pas- 
turage; two crops a ye ear 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

Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)—lIs 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 perfection on strong, moist 
and clay lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 35c 
(by mail 45c); 10 lbs. $3.00; 100 Ibs. $29.00. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior)—It is the first grass 
to show itself in spring and grows rapidly in good soil, 
showing a height of 4 feet by ‘June. It should be cut for 
Hay just as coming into bloom, will furnish 2 and 8 cut- 
tings per year, and is invaluable for early and late pas- 
turage, furnishing a nice, sweet and tender herbage. Sow 
20 to 25 lbs. per acre. (10 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 45c 
(by mail 55c); 10 lbs. $3.75; 100 lbs. $35.00. 
Meadow Foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis)—-Closely resembles 
Timothy, but flowers much earlier and thrives in all soils 
excepting dry sand or gravel. It succeeds best in strong, 
moist, rich soils. It is highly relished by all kinds of 
stock, endures close cropping, and forms a luxuriant after-

Sudan Grass—Introduced in 1909 from Sudan by the U. S. Dept. 
of Agriculture and destined, as some authorities believe, 
to supplant Millet. Where it can be sown early enough 
it will yield two immense crops of Hay during a season, 
requiring less than two months to come to the proper cut- 
ting stage—just before heading out. Great for dry sec- 
tions, but though preferring a ‘rich loam will thrive any- 
where and on any soil. For seed sow about 4 lbs. per
