Where a grass or grasses is desired for laying down for a period of 10 er 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—so much so that in Kansas English Blue Grass is 
being grown to the exclusion of all others. 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. 
A trial of these varieties will pay you. — 
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 
eroe can be had the first season, followed afterwards by an immense amount of succulent pastur- 
age; on and after the first ;eason two crops a year can be had from it, often running over 5 tons 
cured Hay per acre.

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass (Festuca pratensis) 
—One of the best of the so-called natural or permanent 
meadow grasses, and has so well adapted itself to our 
Northern and Western States as to have become invalu- 
able, in facet it thrives over as wide a range as any of 
Our grasses, succeeding as far South as Tennessee. It 
is greedily eaten by all kinds of stock, is very fattening, 
and makes excellent Hay. 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 ib. 10¢; per bushel $2.10; per 100. lbs. .$9.00 
Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)—-The most widely 
known of all our grasses. It is of exceptional value for 
permanent pastures and-for Hay crops. It is very early, 
coming in ahead of all the other grasses, recovers quick- 
ly 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. If allowed to 
stand, however, it becomes hard and pithy. On this ac- 
count it should never be sown with Timothy. Thrives 
well on all soils and attains its greatest perfection on 
strong, moist and clay lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.)

Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior)—The earliest of 
all the grasses and one that has naturalized itself all 
through the Western States. 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 3 
cuttings per year and is invaluable for early and late 
pasturage, furnishing a nice sweet and tender herbage.

Meadow Foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis)—This grass close- 
ly resembles Timothy, but flowers much earlier, and 
thrives in all soils excepting dry sands or gravel. It 
succeeds best in strong, moist, rich soils. Being of 
‘early and rapid growth, it is particularly valuable for 
permanent pasture. It is highly relished by all kinds of 
stock, endures close cropping, and forms a luxuriant af- 
termath. Many farmers confound this with our wild 
Foxtail or Squirrel grass, which is a great mistake, as 
this is really a valuable variety on account of its per- 
manent nature, _(10-1bs. per bushel.) Per lb..30¢e; per
