MANNS’ SUPERIOR FARM SEEDS 
[37] 
Our fair dealing and conservative methods have resulted in an enormous increase in the volume of our field seed busi- 
ness, and we are thoroughly convinced that high quality seed at a reasonable price will make many more pleased customers 
during this year. 
Gur experience in this line and our equipment protect you from the many losses which must result from the planting 
of inferior seed, which is expensive at any price. 
All seeds offered must strictly conform to our high standards, and pur- 
chasers may depend upon our best efforts to supply only seed which is fresh, pure and free from weeds. 
Continual market fluctuations make it impossible to quote firm prices here; changes are made almost daily. We shall, 
therefore, appreciate the opportunity to mail samples and quote the very latest price on any quantity. 
When comparing quotations, consider both purity and germination. 
GRASS SEEDS 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. June Grass. (Poa pratensis.) 
Universally known; desirable for pastures and lawns. Sow 
in fall or spring at rate of 2 or 3 bushels per acre. Fancy 
clean seed. 
RED TOP GRASS. (Agrostis vulgaris.) Thrives well in 
any soil, but best on low land; produces a firm sod. Sow 1 
to 2 bushels per acre. 
TIMOTHY. (Phleum pratense.) Well known variety. When 
ready to buy write for latest prices, whether a bag or a 
earload. (Bushel 45 pounds.) 
ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis glomerata.) Extremely hardy 
and widely known. One of the earliest to start in spring; 
grows rapidly; furnishes an abundance of pasture the entire 
season. 1% to 2 bushels per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) 
RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS. (Agrostis canina.) Valu- 
able for lawns. Sow 8 to 4 bushels per acre for lawn. 1% 
to 3 bushels for pasture. (Bushel 12 pounds.) 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS. (Avena elatior.) Used for 
soiling. Succeeds well in sandy lands, and owing to its long, 
fibrous roots, stands cold and drought well. Sow 8 bushels 
per acre. (Bushel 10 pounds.) 
SWEET VERNAL. (Anthoxanthum odoratum.) Very frag- 
rant, especially when bruised or cut. Mixed with other 
grasses for pasture it is quite valuable, as it starts early 
in the spring and grows until late in the fall. (Bushel 10 
pounds.) 
CREEPING BENT GRASS. (Agrostis stolonifera.) Excel- 
lent for pasture when mixed with other grasses; succeeds 
well in most situations and thrives in moist land. Sow 40 
pounds per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) 
WOOD MEADOW GRASS. (Poa nemoralis.) Recommended 
especially for low, wet pasture, or for lawns in damp, wet 
situations. It starts early in the spring and produces a 
beautiful green turf, which lasts a long time. (Bushel 14 
pounds.) 
DROUGHT RESISTING GRASSES 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne.) Very nutri- 
tious; valuable for meadows or permanent pastures; rapid 
grower; most prominent grass in England. Sow 1 to 1% 
bushels per acre. (Bushel 24 lbs.)

Thrives in all 
starts early; very 
Sow 1 to 1% bushels per acre. 
SHEEP’S FESCUE. (Festuca ovina.) Grows naturally on 
light, dry, sandy soils and mountain pastures; considered 
quite valuable mixed with other grasses for permanent early . 
spring pasture. (About 12 pounds.) 
HARD FESCUE. (Festuca duriuscula.) Not very produc- 
tive, but it is of a very fine quality, and thrives well in dry 
situations where many other grasses would fail, thus mak- 
ing a desirable pasture variety. 
MILLET 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET. True Southern grown 
German Millet Seed is far superior to Western grown seed. 
HUNGARIAN GRASS. A very valuable forage plant of the 
Millet family, but not so coarse. Two to three weeks earlier 
than German Millet.
