MANNS' SUPERIOR FARM SEEDS 



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. 



Our 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. 



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. 



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 

 carload. (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. IV2 to 2 bushels per acre. (Bushel 14 pounds.) 

 RHODE ISLAND BENT GRASS. (Agrostis canina.) Valu- 

 able for lawns. Sow 3 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 3 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 IV2 

 bushels per acre. (Bushel 24 lbs.) 



MEADOW FESCUE. (Festuca pratensis.) Thrives in all 

 soil; excellent for permanent pastures; starts early; very 

 productive. Sow 1 to IY2 bushels per acre. 



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.
