GRASSES. 
TIMOTHY OR HERDS GRass. Phleum Pratense. This Grass 
is usually considered and treated as a short-lived peren- 
nial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rota- 
tion. It succeeds best on moist loams and clays naturally 
rich in humus or on those which have been heavily man- 
ured. It grows in loose tufts, with few short leaves, so 
that Red Top or Red Clover should be sown with it to fur- 
nish heavy bottom growth of leaves. Sow one-half bushel 
per acreif alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Per bushel, $2.50. 
RED [op. Agrostes vulgaris. A good permanent Grass, 
which grows naturally in cold wet soils. It should be 
grown in cultivation in similar situations. A perennial 
with long creeping stems and underground runners; one of 
the best bottom grasses bearing large numbers of fine root 
leaves, making it invaluable for sowing with erect tufted 
Grasses, such as Orchard and Timothy, filling in between 
the clumps and producing a continuous turf. Sow four 
bushels per acre if alone. (1o0lbs. per. bushel.) Per lb., 
10 cents; per bushel, .85; 100 lbs., $8.00. 
Rep Top. CLEAN SEED. Chaff and weeds sifted out; pure 
fancy seed. We recommend this to all who desire the 
best results, as its absolute purity and excellence insure

storing worn-out swards. Per lb., 15 cents; 100 Ibs., 
$12 00.
