GRASSES -HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR RE-CLEANED 



ORCHARD (Dactylis glomerata) 



It succeeds on almost any soil, especially in moist, shady places, and in 

 porous subsoils its roots extend to a great depth. It stands drought well, 

 keeping green and growing when other grasses are dried up. It should not 

 toe sown in mixture with Timothy, for, being three weeks earlier, it becomes 

 pithy if allowed to stand until the Timothy is ready to cut. Cut at the 

 proper time, however, there is no better or more succulent hay. It is 

 inclined to grow in tufts, and should therefore have other grasses sown with 

 it and be sown very evenly. Sow (if alone) 60 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.60; 25 lbs. S10.00; 100 lbs. $35.00. 



RED TOP, FANCY {Agrostis palustris) 



Succeeds almost everywhere, but reaches its highest state of perfection 

 in a moist, rich soil, in which it attains a height of 2 to 2 yi feet. If for 

 pasture it should be fed close as it is not relished after it grows up to seed. 

 It is often sown with Timothy and Red Clover; the latter of course soon 

 •disappears, the Timothy follows; then the Red Top takes its place. Sow 

 .(if alone) 30 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. S10.00; 100 lbs. S36.00. 



RYE-GRASS, ENGLISH (Lolium perenne) 



It produces an abundance of remarkably fine foliage, tillers out close to 

 the ground and soon forms a compact sward. After being cut it grows up 

 in a very short time and remains bright and green throughout the season. 

 It is also a good variety for hay if cut when in blossom, as it is then most 

 nutritious; if cut much later it becomes woody. Sow (if alone) 75 lbs. per 

 acre. 



Price, lb. 35c; 10 lbs. S2.75; 25 lbs. $7.00; 100 lbs. $22.00. 



^RYE-GRASS, ITALIAN (Lolium italicum) 



A variety unequalled for producing an abundance of nutritious feed in 

 the early spring. It gives quick and successive growths until late in the fall, 

 even if cut several times, providing the land is in good condition and not too 

 ■dry. As it is not perennial, it is not adapted for permanent pastures, but 

 for one or two years' lay it is unsurpassed. Sow (if alone) 60 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.75; 25 lbs. $6.00; 100 lbs. $20.00. 



RYE, DOMESTIC 



A mixture of Italian and English grown in the United States. 

 Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50; 25 lbs. $5.50; 100 lbs. $18.00. 



RYE GRASS, PACEY'S PERENNIAL 



{Lolium Perenne Pacey's) 



This variety used in a mixture is an excellent "nurse" grass where a quick 

 turf is desired. It produces a verdant growth four or five weeks after 

 sowing. The leaves are narrow, flat and smooth. 



Price, lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50; 25 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $26.00. 



ROUGH STALKED MEADOW (Poa trMaiis) 



The Lombardy "Queen of Meadow" Grass. An excellent grass for good, 

 deep, rich, moist meadows and stiff, heavy clays. It gives a constant supply 

 ■of highly nutritive herbage. 



Price, lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $7.00; 25 lbs. $16.00; 100 lbs. $60.00. 



SUDAN GRASS (Sorghum) 



Sudan Grass is strictly an annual, having no undergrown root-stocks to 

 spread over the ground, which is a point very much in its favor because there 

 is no danger of its getting out of bounds and becoming a pest. It is thor- 

 oughly killed by frost each year, and the seed must be sown again. Its 

 great value to the farmer in the eastern part of the country, or in a droughty 

 section is the ease with which it can be grown, and its profitable yields of 

 forage. Sow broadcast for hay or forage using 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.76; 25 lbs. $6.00; 100 lbs. $20.00. 



SWEET VERNAL (True Perennial) 



(Anthoxanthum odoratum) 



Very valuable on account of its delicious perfume, to which our hay fields 

 and pastures owe their fragrance. The odor is more distinguishable when 

 the grass is drying or dried, and when included in hay its aroma is imparted 

 to the other grasses, making it relished by the stock and enhancing the value 

 of the hay. Sow (if alone) 35 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $1.60. 



TALL MEADOW OAT (Avena elalior) 



It is a valuable grass in permanent pasture because of the early and 

 rapid growth it makes in the spring; and also because it produces a very 

 thick aftermath after being mown. It is also highly recommended for 

 soiling as it furnishes an abundant and early supply of fodder. It is a hardy 

 grass and will thrive in widely different latitudes. Soils that are sandy in 

 texture, but have enough loam to furnish food for the plants are the best, 

 but it also grows well on light, sandy soils. Sow (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. 75c; 10 lbs. $6.50. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense) 



This luxuriates in moist, loamy soils, and sometimes, in favorable situa- 

 tions, attains a height of 4 feet, and even on light soils it yields fair crops. 

 It is exceedingly nutritious, particularly when ripe, but as it is then very 

 hard and pithy, it is better to cut it soon after flowering. It then makes 

 magnificent hay. Sow (if alone) 25 lbs. per acre. 



Price, Henderson's Standard Sample, lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.75; 25 lbs. $8.00; 

 100 lbs. $28.00. 



WOOD MEADOW (Poa nemoralis) 



This grass furnishes a fine, succulent and nutritive herbage which is very 

 much relished by cattle. It is splendidly adapted for moist, shady places 

 and should be included in all mixtures for permanent pastures for moist 

 soils. It is particularly valuable for places overshadowed by trees. Sow 

 (if alone) 50 lbs. per acre. 



Price, lb. $1.75; 10 lbs. $17.00; 25 lbs. $40.00. 



YARROW (Achillea Millefolium) 



It is a deep-rooting perennial and withstands drought, 

 with grass mixtures. 

 Price, lb. $2.00. 



Sow alone, or
