1117. Timothy. Of Hay Grasses Timothy is one of the most popular, nutritious and salable. 
On clay or heavy 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 so 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 114 to3 
tons of fine hay to the acre. Timothy alone a peck (11 lbs.) to the acre or with clover 101bs. Timothy 
and 6 lbs. Clover. A splendid mixture is Slbs. Timothy, 6 lbs. Clover (either Mammoth Clover or 
Alsike Clover preferred, as they mature at the same time as Timothy), 6 !bs. Fancy Red Top, 1% bu. 
Meadow Fescue. Together these will produce most excellent hay, also nutritious and abundant 
pasture in good loamy clay or low ground soils; 8 Ibs. Timothy and 6 Ibs. Clover when sown together.

1118. Kentucky Blue Grass. This Grass is not only the best for lawn purposes but makes the 
sweetest and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. Kentucky has long been famous for its 
high bred horses and its Blue Grass pastures. It is now possible to establish on most any farm a Blue 
Grass Pasture of greenest verdure wuich 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. Itis 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 Grass requires about two years to get well started and for that reason it is 
often sown in mixture with other Grasses. Jt will do well on almost any land. Sow in the Fall or 
Spring at the rate of two or three bushels per acre. Price, *‘Gold’’ Brand Seed Lb. 20c. Pk. 50c.

1120. Canada Blue Grass. Resembles somewhat the Kentucky Blue Grass. It will thrive 
even on hard clay soil, and having an excellent root development forms a heavy turf. At the Maryland 
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 stands the cold 
weather admirably. It is particularly well suited for mixtures. Price, ‘‘Gold’’ Brand Seed Lb. 20c.

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 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 Spring and matures its crop the same time as Timothy. Is excellently adapted for 
seeding with Timothy for hay, and furnishes excellent pasturage afterward. When it gets well estab- 
lished 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 alsofurnish the Choice 
and Prime Fancy Red Top as usually sold. It requires about S to 10 pounds to seed an acre of the 
Faney Clean seed. When sowing with Timothy, sow 6 pounds of the Fancy Clean seed and 8 pounds {| i 
Timothy per acre. It can be sown either in the Spring or Fall. Crop extremely short. Price, “* Gold”

1122. Meadow Fescue, Randall or Engiish 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 3feet high, but notin 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 penetrate 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 pasturage. 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 Ibs. Fancy Clean Red Top and 6 Ibs. Timothy per acre. Sown 
for a grazing mixture with Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, add half a bushel each of these two Grasses. Price, ‘‘Gold” Brand Lb. 20c. Pk. $1.00. 
Bu. of 24 lbs. about $3.50. 
1227. Giant Spurry. Makes one of the best feeds for cattle, especially Dairy Cattle, for 
it furnishes young green fodder at a time when green fodder is scarce, namely between the first and 
second cuttings of various Clovers and when the freshness of the first young Grass 1s worn off. It 
greatly improves the production and the quality of the milk. Grows best on lighter soils. Lb.
