GRASSES — HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR RE-CLEANED 
ORCHARD 
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 
be 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. $4.50; 25 lbs. $10.00; 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% 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. 60c.; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $11.25; 100 lbs. $40.00. 
RYE-GRASS, ENGLISH 
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. $2.75; 25 lbs. $6.00; 100 lbs. $20.00. 
RYE-GRASS, ITALIAN (Imported) (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. $22.00. 
RYE, DOMESTIC 
A mixture of Italian and English grown in the United States. 
Price, lb. 25c.; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
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. Theleaves are narrow, flat and smooth. 
Price, lb. 40c.; 10 lbs. $3.50; 25 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $25.00. 
ROUGH STALKED MEADOW 
(Dactylis glomerata) 
(Lolium perenne) 
(Poa trivialis) 
The Lombardy ‘‘Queen of Meadow”’ Grass. An excellent grass for good, 
deep, rich, moist meadows and stiff, heavy clays. 
of highly nutritive herbage. 
Price, lb. 75c.; 10 lbs. $6.75; 25 Ibs. $16.00; 100 lbs. $60.00. 
It gives a constant supply 
SUDAN GRASS 
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 ina 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. 25c.; 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. $4.50; 100 lbs. $15.00. 
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 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, lb. $1.50. 
TALL MEADOW OAT 
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. Itisa 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 tts. per acre. 
Price, lb. 60c.; 10 Ibs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $10.00. 
TIMOTHY 
_ 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 Ibs. per acre. 
Price, Henderson’s Standard Sample, Ib. 25c.; 10 Ibs. $2.00; 25 Ibs. $4.50; 
100 lbs. $15.00. 
WOOD MEADOW 
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. $1.50; 10 lbs. $12.50; 25 lbs. $25.00. 
YARROW (Achillea Millefolium) 
It is a deep-rooting perennial and withstands drought. 
with grass mixtures.
