CRIMSON, or 

 SCARLET 

 CLOVER. A most 

 valuable crop is 

 this annual clover. 

 As an improver of 

 the soil, or for an 

 early summer for- 

 age or hay crop, it 

 is first-class. As a 

 green manuring 

 crop for grain, fruit 

 or trucking crops, 

 it gives the very 

 best results, while 

 for improving poor 

 land it has few 

 equals. It succeeds 

 on every kind of 

 soil, standing 

 Southern suns and 

 Nortliern winters, 

 and Is now grown 

 largely in Dela- 

 ware, Maryland, 

 New Jersey, Penn- 

 sylvania, Virginia, 

 and has succeeded 

 in every State 

 where tried. Sow 

 ten to f Iftee n 

 pounds to the acre

CANADIAN BLUE. KENTUCKY BLUE. 



CANADIAN BLUE GRASS (Poa Compressa). The 

 hardiest grass in cultivation ; should not be confounded 

 with the Kentucky Blue Grass. Canadian Blue Grass shoots 

 its leaves very early. All grazing animals eat it greedily; 

 cows fed on it produce a very rich milk. It is especially rel- 

 ished by sheep. Its bluish green stems retain their color after 

 the seed is ripe. It shrinks less in drying than most other 

 grasses. It is an excellent grass fordry, sandy, thin soils and 

 banks, and for covering the surface of rocky soils. Qt., 15o.; 

 bush., 14 lbs., $1.60; 5 bush, and over, $1.40 per bush. 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS {Poa Pratensis). Valuable 

 for pasture when mixed with other varieties. Qt., 15c.; bush., 

 14 lbs., $1.60; 5 bush, and over, $1.50 per bush. 



HUNGARIAN BR0ME-QRA55 



(Bromus Inermis) 



This great drought-defying, frost-resisting grass Is now 

 attracting much attention in the United States. It yields 

 enormous crops of splendid hay, and affords rich, abundant 

 pasturage. Bromus Inermis has been known in Europe for 

 over one hundred and thirty years. It is grown extensively 

 in Hungary and is commonly known as Hungarian, or 

 Smooth Brome-grass. The United States Agricultural Depart- 

 ment has made extensive experiments, and speaks of it In 

 the highest terras. It endures extremes of temperature and 

 resists protracted drought, succeeding where Alfalfa fails. 

 Poor lands are no discouragement. It grows best in light, 

 sandy loam, but its roots will penetrate the stiffest clays. It 

 is equally good for cutting green, pasturing or cutting into 

 hay, and the dense, tough sod it forms is most valuable for 

 holding the banks of ditches and strengthening the turf of 

 sandy soil. It can be sown alone and also does well sown 

 with clover, or with clover and timothy. Use 20 pounds to 

 the acre if alone ; if with clover, 15 pounds. It may be sown 

 in the fall with winter wheat, or in the spring. To be cut 

 when first coming into bloom.
