36 The J. Bolgiano Seed Co., Baltimore, Md. 
A Field of Bolgiano’s ‘‘ Gold’ Brand Red Clover Intermingled with Timothy 
Medium Red Clover 
This is regarded as the most valuable of the Clover family and is largely used for pasturage 
Clover adds greatly to the fertility of the land on which it is grown. 
The first is usually cut when it is in blossom for hay. 
For hay, it is particularly well adapted for sowing with Orchard and 
Tall Meadow Grass, as it ripens at the same time, and sowing these three grasses together will give larger yields and better quality 
hay than sowing either alone. It is also largely sown with other grasses, both for hay and pasturage. Information as to quantities 
required per acre when sown in combination with other grasses will be found under the heading of Orchard Grass, Tall Meadow 
When sown by itself, sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre, either in the Spring or Fall or at the last working

Mammoth or Sapling Clover 
1131. Mammoth or Sapling Clover. Is similar to Red Clover in 
appearance of seeds and habits of growth, the difference being larger growth 
and later maturing. It is often used for hog pastures. As a soil improver 
to plow under it is considered supérior on account of its extra growth. It is 
a good variety for thin soils or to seed with Timothy, Meadow Fescue, Herd’s 
Grass or Red Top, as it matures about the same time as these grasses. Sow 
10 to 12 lbs. to the acre when sown alone. When sown with Timothy use 
6 Ibs. Sapling Clover and 8 lbs. Timothy to the acre. Price: ‘‘ Gold”

1132. Alsike Clover. Alsike Clover grows thicker and is finer in 
growth than Red Clover, making better hay and probably more and better 
grazing. It is also hardier, resisting extremes of heat and drought and also 
severely cold weather to a remarkable extent. It is perennial and does not 
Winter kill. It succeeds on a variety of soils, light upland loamy lands as 
well as stiff bottom lands. It will do better on moist land than any other 
Clover. It is surer to give a good stand and make good crops than either 
the Red or Mammoth Clover, and in sections where these Clovers have been 
uncertain Alsike is superseding them altogether. When sown with other 
‘Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
1123. Tall Meadow Oat. Evergreen Grass. Yielding twice as 
much hay as Timothy or Orchard Grass, early as Orchard Grass with more 
leaf and affording better grazing, it is not strange that this grass is becom- 
ing so popular. It will keep green all Winter and all Summer; the drought 
of Midsummers or the cold of Winter does not injure it. It starts growing 
very early in the Spring, can be cut twice for hay, would yield good grazing 
until late in the Fall. It contains more flesh and muscle-forming material 
than Timothy, but it is not so fattening. For hay it should be cut while in 
bloom. Tall Meadow Oat Grass is best adapted foi rather light and dry 
loamy uplands, but gives excellent results on nearly all soils and better 
results than any other grass on light, medium or sandy soils. Sown alone 
use 2 to 3 bushels to the acre, either Spring or Fall. Sown in mixture, use 
1 bushel (11 Ibs.) Tall Meadow Oat Grass, 1 bushel (14 Ibs.) Orchard Grass 
and 8 Ibs. Red Clover. It gives the very best results when sown with Clover. 
By adding 6 lbs. of Red Top or Herd’s Grass to the mixture the grazing 
will be materially increased. Price: ‘‘ Gold” Brand Fancy, Lb. 35c.

1122. Meadow Fescue, 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 than any other Grass. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in 
tufts like Orchard Grass. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive on 
it whether dry or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as the roots pene- — 
trate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes extremely dry weather to affect 
it. It succeeds well in nearly all sections of the South, and should be very 
largely used for pasturage and hay mixture, being specially suitable for 
sowing with Red Top and Timothy for hay, or with these and Orchard and 
Tall Meadow Oat for permanent pasture. Sow either in the Spring or Fall 
at the rate of 2 bushels to the acre if sown by itself. When sown with Red 
Top or Timothy sow 1 bushel (14 Ibs.) Meadow Fescue, 5 lbs. Fancy Clean 
Red Top and 6 lbs. Timothy per acre. Sown for grazing mixture with 
Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, add half a bushel each of these two 
Grasses. Write for lowest prices. 
Orchard Grass 
1114. Orchard Grass. One of the best and most reliable grasses for 
the Middle and Southern States, either for hay or pasture. It is a very 
vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and most nutritious hay 
and will last for years in increasing value with proper treatment. It is 
succulent and nutritious and when moved requires only a few days of 
seasonable weather to start it growing again and usually two good crops 
of hay can be cut in a season. It succeeds well on nearly all soils, but does 
best on uplands, loamy or moderate stiff soils. Although it will succeed 
very well even on soils that are inclined to be of a sandy texture. It also 
succeeds in shady places better than other grasses, especially in orchards. 
It starts early in the Spring and continues well into Winter. It is of quick 
growth, and is relished by stock, especially when young and bears close 
grazing. It makes excellent hay. and gives the very best results mixed and 
grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. It should be cut when 
in blossom, as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed to ripen. It can be 
sown in the Spring or Fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bushels 
per acre if sown alone, or with Red Clover, one and one-half bushels of 
Orchard Grass and eight pounds of Clover are the quantities usually sown.
