  Kentucky

  horses 
  

   and 
  its 
  Blue

  a

   Grass 
  Pasture 
  of 
  greenest 
  verdure 
  which 
  will 
  give 
  very 
  profitable 
  returns. 
  This 
  grass 
  

   is 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  start 
  up 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  and 
  remains 
  green 
  until 
  snow 
  flies 
  in 
  the 
  fall. 
  It 
  

   is 
  very 
  hardy 
  and 
  is 
  uninjured 
  by 
  cold 
  or 
  dry 
  weather, 
  hot 
  sun 
  or 
  tramping 
  of 
  hoofs. 
  

   The 
  roots 
  are 
  so 
  thick 
  and 
  stout 
  that 
  they 
  form 
  a 
  tough 
  sod. 
  Blue

  requires 
  

   about 
  two 
  years 
  to 
  get 
  well 
  started 
  and

  it
