RECLEANED— GRASS SEEDS —TESTED 



TIMOTHY 



(PHLEVJI PRATEXSE.) 



The most widely grown and probably 



most valuable grass used for Hay in 



this country. It is a perennial, but runs 



out in a few years, and should be thick- 

 ened up annually with fresh sowings of 



Seed. It is often sown with Clover and 



Red Top and does best and has a higher 



feeding value when used in such 



bination. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 



and use only the best Seed obtainable. 

 Per lb. 20c: (by mail 27c) ; 10 ltos. 



$1.25; 45 lbs. (1 bu.) $4.95; 100 lbs. $11.00. 



Meadow Fescue; or English Blue Grass 

 (Festuca pratensls) — One of the best 

 of the natural or permanent im-;ulow 

 grasses. It is very hardy and suc- 

 ceeds 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. 45c (by 

 mail 55c); 10 lbs. $3.50; 100 lbs. $32.00. 



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. All kind's 

 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. 30c (by mail 40c); 10 

 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $23.00. 



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 3 cut- 

 tings per year, and is invaluable for early and late pas- 

 turage. 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 is highlv relished bv all 

 kinds of stock. Many farmers confound this with our wild 

 Foxtail or Squirrel Grass, which is a great mistake, as this 

 is really a valuable varietv. Per lb. 50c (by mail 60c)- 

 10 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $37.50. 



BROMUS INERMIS 



Pasture Grasses 



OR 

 AWNI.ESS BROME GRASS. 



An exceedingly valuable grass, suc- 

 ceeds and produces immense crops of 

 high nutritive value on the sterile and 

 arid plains of our AVestern States, grow- 

 ing luxuriantly on dry, sandy soils, 

 where other grasses would perish. It is 

 perennial, 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 pasturage; 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. 

 Sow broadcast at the rate of 20 lbs. per 

 acre (14 lbs. per bushel.) 



Per lb. 40c (by mail 50c); 10 lbs. 

 $3.00; 100 lbs. $28.00. 



Sudan Grass — Introduced in 1909 from 

 Sudan by the U. S. Dept. of Agricul- 

 ture. Where it can be sown early 

 enough it will yield two immense 



crops of Hay during a season, requir- 

 ing less than two months to come to the proper cutting 

 stage — just before heading out. Great for dry sections, but 

 will thrive anywhere and on any soil. For seed sow about 4 

 lbs. per acre in rows 3 feet apart. When broadcasted or 

 drilled in for hay or fodder 16 to 24 lbs. per acre are re- 

 quired. Per lb. 20c (by mail 30c) ; 10 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs. $13.00.
