 1186. Sheep 'FesQtte.-A densely tufted perennial grass, roots deeply, 

 and forms dense short turf, suitable for lawns and pleasure grounds. It 

 furnishes excellent grazing, and is well adapted both for lawn and pastur- 

 age mixtures. Sow 2 to 3 bushels per acre, if sown by itself. Sow about 25

T^l j-|— l^-v+'l— I •«»• Of Hay Grasses Timothy is one of the most popular, nutritious 

 * M * A ■ *— * HI y 3ij(j salable. On clay or heavy loams, lowlands or in mountain- 

 ous 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, V2 bu. 

 Meadow Fesque._ Together, these will produce most excellent hay, also nutritious and 

 abundant pasture in good loamy, clay or low ground soils. 8 lb. Timothy and 6 lb. Clover when 

 sown together. "Gold" Brand, 10c Lb. But. of 45 Lbs. $2.25. Market fluctuates. 

 1118. KentncUy 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. 18c« 

 Bu. of 14 Lbs. $1.50. Special prices in quantity. 



1120. Native or Canada Blue Grass.— At the Maryland Experiment Station this grass re- 

 mained a luxuriant green during the hotest summer when other grasses were materially 

 affected by the heat. Beiug a grass of Canadian growth it will stand the cold weather admir. 

 ably. 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.t5c. Bu.of 14Lbi.$t.50^ 

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

 growth and appearance, and is considered by many practical men as 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, spreads and holds to the soil in a very tena- 

 cious way; at same time is easily eradicated if desired. Lb. 30c. Special prices in quantity, 

 llll. 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, giv- 

 ing 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 adapted 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 pounds of the Fancy Clean seed and 8poundsof Timothy per acre. 

 It can be sown either in the spring or fall. "Gold" Brand Fancy Seed, Lb. 20c. 10 Lbs. 

 or over 18c Lb. Silver Choice, 10 Lbs.or over (ojISc. Prices fluctuate;quoted upon application^ 

 1122. Meadow Fesqae, Randall or English Blue Grass.— It makesamostexcellenthay and 

 pasturage grass, and is particularly valuable for fall and winter pasturage, and 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. 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 bushel each of these two 

 grasses. Price, "Gold Brand, Lb. 25c. Bus. of 14 Lbs. about $3.00. 



1187. Hard Fesque. — Thrives well in dry situations, where many other 

 grasses fail; 30 lbs to the acre. Lb. 20c. Bu. of 14 Lbs. $1.75. 



1125. 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 seeds are allowed to form, the stalks get hard and it does not 

 make near so good a hay. Should be sovra any time between the middle of 

 May until the end of June. It matures a crop in six to eight weeks after 

 feeding. Our Southern grown Millet makes much better growth than west- 

 ern or northern grown seed. "Gold" Brand Southern Grown Millet, 

 $1.50 per Bu. 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 until the end of July, at the rate of one bushel 

 per acre. "Gold" Brand, $1.50 per Bus.

1149. Hairy or Winter Vetch. (Vicia Villossa.)—VICIA VII,I,OSSA succeeds 

 and produces good crops on poor sandy soils 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 oats, spring rye or bar- 

 ley; 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 laud 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 will 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 Vi bu. of rye, oats or barley. "Gold" 

 Brand, lb. 10c. If by mail, add 8c per lb. Bu. of 60 lbs. $4.00. 100 lbs. $6.50. 



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 to 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 Autumn. 

 "Gold" Brand. Lb. 10c. 10 Lbs. 50c. Bu. of 60 Lbs. $2.75. 100 Lbs. $4.50. 



1127. ninnrf F«^V Pan? Valuable for Cattle, sheep and Hogs.— under 



UlvHI I b99(A iin|/t. favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing 

 sheep or cattle within six weeks from the time of sowing, and on an' average one 

 acre will carry from 12 to 15 sheep six weeks to two months. When on the Rape 

 they should atall times have access to salt; but water is notnecessary. Asil thrives 

 best iu 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. If by mail, 



add 8c per Lb. 10c I b. 5 Lbs. 40c. 10 Lb.s 75c. 100 Lbs. $5.00.
