fielgianc's "Sdd ftrand" 'Clever and imaa deed 



IS THE STANDARD OF PURITY. 



1122. Meadow Fesctue, Randall or English Blue Grass.— It makes a 



most excellent hay and pasturage grass, and is particularly valuable for fall 



and winter pasturage, as it remains green throughout the winter. It 



is also a splendid spring and summer grass, and usually makes more and 



thicker leafage thanany other grass. It succeeds well in nearly all sections 



of the South, and should be very largely used in pasturage and hay mixtures, 



being specially suitable for sowing with Red Top and Timothy for hay, or 



with these and Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat for permanent pasturage. 



Sow either in the spring or fall at the rate of two bushels to the acre, if sown 



by itself. When sown with Red Top and Timothy, sow one bushel (14 lbs.) 



Meadow Fesque, 5 lbs. Fancy Clean Red Top and 6 lbs. Timothy per acre. 



Sown for a grazing mixture with Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, add 



half a b ishel each of these two grasses. Price, "Gold" Brand. Lb. 15c. 



Bus. of 14 Lbs. about $1.40. 



1118. KentucKy Blue Grass.--An excellent pasturage and lawn grass, succeeding best on lime 



stone land, but does well on stiff or clay medium soils. It is rather sensitive to heat, but not so to 



cold weather, and on this account does its best in the fall, winter and spring. It grows slowly at 



first, forms a compact turf, making a fine pasturage when once established. It is best, however, 



to combine other grasses with it for either lawn or pasturage. Sow in the fall or spring at the rate 



of two to three bushels per acre. "Gold Brand" Seed, Lb. 15c. Bus. of 14 Lbs. $1.90. 



Special prices in quantity. 



1120. Native or Canada Blue Grass. — At theMaryland Experiment Station this grass remained 

 a luxuriant green during the hottest summer when other grasses were materially affected by the 

 heat. Being a grass of Canadian growth it will stand the cold weather admirably. Canada Blue 

 Grass should be tried by everyone not familiar with its excellent qualities. It is particularly well 

 suited for mixtures. "Gold Brand" seed. Lb. 15c. Bus. of 14 Lbs. $1.25. 



1171. Creeping' Bent Grass. — This grass somewhat resembles the Red Top or Herd's Grass in 

 growth and appearance, and is considered by many practical men as fully equal, or even superior, 

 to that grass. It is certainly a splendid grass, and should be largely used in lawn and pasturage 

 mixtures. It has creeping or stoloniferous roots, and spreads and holds to the soil in a very 

 tenacious way; at same time, iteasily eradicated if desired. Lb. 25c. 10 lbs. and over 20c per Lb. 

 1111. Red Top, or Herd's Grass. — This grass makes excellent pasturage and good crop of fine 

 quality hay, and succeeds on a greater variety of soils than any other grass in general use, giving 

 very good results on light soils, and the very best results on heavier, moist or low-ground soils. 

 It is rather late in starting in the spring, and matures its crop at the same time as Timothy. Is 

 excellently adopted for seeding with Timothy for hay, and furnishes excellent pasturage afterward. 

 When it gets well established it spreads, and will gradually supplant other grasses. Our Gold 

 Brand of the Fancy Clean Red Top is of extra fine quality, and carefully cleaned from impurities. 

 We can also furnish the Choice and Prime Fancy Clean Red Top as usually sold. It requires about 

 8 to 10 pounds to seed an acre of the Fancy Clean seed. When sowing with Timothy, sow 5 ponnds 

 of the Fancy Clean seed and 8 pounds of Timothy per acre. It can be sown either in the spring or 

 fall. "Gold Brand" Fancy Seed, Lb. 10c. 100 Lbs. $9.00. Choice grade, 100 Lbs. $8.50. 

 Prices fluctuate ; quoted upon application. 



1170. Chaff Red Top.— Bus. of 10 lbs. 25c. Sacks of 50 lbs. 60c. 10 SacKs, $5.00. 



1121. English Rye Grass. — A nutritious, permanent grass for meadows, pastures and tnixini' 

 with others for lawns. "Gold Brand." Lb. 15c. 10 lbs. or over at 8c per lb. Write for 

 special prices in quantity. 



1172. Italian Rye Grass.— "Gold Brand." Lb. 12c. Bus. of 14 lbs. $1.00. 



1150. Spring Vetches or Tares. — Closely associated with Peas in character. Highly valuable for 

 soiling or for green manuring. Sometimes grown with oats, for mowing and feeding to stock. 

 Use 2 or 3 bus. to acre broadcast, or 1 to 2 bus. in drills. Sow in Spring, while the ground is cool 

 and moist, or in early Auiumn. "Gold Brand." Lb. 10c. bu. of 60 lbs. $3.75. 100 lbs. $6 00. 

 1149. Sand or Winter Vetch. (Vicia Villossa.)— VICIA VILI^OSSA succeeds and produces 

 good crops on poor sandy soils as as on good land; grows to a height of 4 or 5 feet. It is perfectly 

 hardy throughout the United States, remaining green all winter, and should be sown in the spring, 

 mixed with oat-;, spring rye or barley ; or during August and September, with winter rye, which 

 serves as a support for the plants. It is the earliest crop for cutting, being hardier and nearly a 

 month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for planting 

 spring crops. Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States should have a field of it, and 

 if you try it once, you wilt never be a season without it. It is exceedingly nutritious, eaten with 

 relish, and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. per acre with % bu. of 

 rye, oats or barley. Gold Brand, lb. 15c. Bus. of 60 lbs. $6.00. 100 lbs. $9.00. If by mail, 

 add 8c per Lb. 



1127 T)WARF FSSFX RAPF Valuable For Cattle Sheep and Hog's.— Under the favor- 



u vv rvivi LOkJl^/Y liftl L. able conditions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle 

 with in six weeks from the time of sowing, and .. an average one acre will carry from 12 to 15 sheep 

 six weeks to two months. When on the Rape they should at all times have access to salt; but water 

 is not necessary. As it thrives best in cool weather it should not be sown in the Southern States 

 until September or October for winter pasture. Its fattening properties are probably twice as good 

 as those of Clover, and for sheep the feeding value of Rape excells all other plants we know of. 

 Sow 4 lbs. per acre broadcast, 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. 10c lb. $2.50 bushel of 50 lbs. 100 

 lbs. $5.50. If by mail, add 8c per lb. 



1117 T" I |\/l f^^P LJ V Of Hay Grasses Timothy is one of the most 

 i I a VI V^ I I I I popular, nutritious and salable. On clay or 

 hervy loams, lowlands or in mountainous districts provided there is an 

 abundance of moisture, it produces the very best results. On sandy or light 

 loamy ground, it does not do as well as Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat or Red 

 Top Grass. If grazed or cut too close, the stand of Timothy will be seriously 

 injured besides it does not form as good grazing as many other grasses. 

 From 1% to 3 tons of fine hay to the acre. A splendid mixture is 6 lbs. 

 Timothy, 4 lbs. Clover (either Mammoth Clover or Alsike Clover preferred 

 as they mature at the same time as Timothy) 4 lbs. Fancy Red Top, % bu. 

 Meadow Fesque. Together, these willl produce most excellent hay, also 

 nutritious and abundant pasture in good loamy, clay or low ground soils. 

 Use 8 lbs. of Timothy and 6 lbs. of Clover when only these two are used. 

 "Gold" Brand. 8c. Lb. Bu. of 45 Lbs. $2.25. Market fluctuations.

1125. GERMAN MILLET. 



German Millet, Choice Southern Grown.— Makes a large yielding and most 

 nutritious hay crop, quick growing and easily cured. It should be seeded thickly, 

 one bushel per acre, and should be harvested while in bloom. If the seeus is allowed 

 to form, the stalks get hard and it does not make near so good a hay. Should be 

 sown any time between the middle of May until the end of June. It matures a crop 

 in six to eight weeks after seeding. Our Southern grown Millet makes much 

 better growth than western or northern grown seed "Gold" Brand Southern 

 Grown Millet. $1.25 per Bus. of 50 lbs. 



1126. Hungarian Millet Grass. — For good low ground or rich soils, this makes even 

 a more valuable crop than German Millet. It is considered equal in nutritive value to 

 Timothy hay. On uplands or light soils, German Millet makes larger yields than 

 Hungarian. Hungarian Millet should be sown from the first of May to the end of 

 July, at the rate of one bushel per acre. "Gold" Brand, $1.25 per Bus. 

 1173. Teosinte. — A most valuable and enormous yielding, continuous cutting 

 forage crop. Produces a continuous daily supply of most nutritious green food for 

 horses and all kinds of cattle all through the summer. It also makes splendid dry 

 fodder, yielding enormously and is more nutritious and even better relished than 

 corn fodder. Resembles Indian Corn, but the leaves are much larger and broader 

 and the stalks contain sweeter sap. As'many as 45 stalks, very thickly covered with 

 leaves have been grown from a single seed. It stalks out enormously after being 

 cut when it is 2 to 8 feet high. Sow in May or June at the rate of 2 to 3 pounds per 

 acre, in drills 3% to 4 feet apart. Oz. 10c. 1/4 lb. 20c. Lb. 50c. Special price in 

 Quantity. 



1124. Red or Creeping Fesctue. (Festucra Rubra.)— Forms a close, rich sod and 

 is valuable in lawns and pastures. "Gold" Brand. Lb. 15c. Bu. of 14 lbs. $1.50. 

 1116. AWNLESS BLOOM GRASS OR BROMUS INERMIS.-Both for grazing and 

 for hay it is of especial value in mixtures with other grasses. Cattle graze on it 

 with relish. Sow seed in the Spring or Fall 25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Price, "Gold" 

 Brand" 15c lb. Bus. (14 lbs.) $1.50.
