TIMOTHY 



(PHL,EUM PRATENSE) 



The most widely grown and probably most valuable grass used 

 for Hay in this country. It is a perennial, but runs out in a few 

 years, and should be thickened up annually with fresh sowings of 

 Seed. It is often sown w^ith Clover and Red Top and does best 

 and has a higher feeding value when used in such combination. 

 Most satisfactory crops are secured on rich, rather heavy soils, as 

 it is not as v^ell adapted to light soils. Sow 15 lbs. per acre, and 

 use only the best Seed obtainable. Our stock is Wisconsin grown 

 and thoroughly recleaned. Per lb. 20c, (by mail 30c); per bushel 

 (45 lbs.) $5.00; per 100 lbs. $11.00.

BROMUS INERMIS, OR AWNLESS BROME GRASS. 

 An exceedingly valuable grass, succeeds and produces immense crops of high nutritive value on the sterile and arid plains 

 of our Western States, growing luxuriantly on dry. sandy soils, where other grasses would perish. It is perennial, and once 

 sown down will stand for 10 years. A good Hay crop can be had the first season, followed afterwards by an immense amount 

 of succulent pasturage; two crops a year can be had from it, often running over 5 tons cured Hay per acre. When fully 

 grown the plant stands from 4 to 5 feet in height and stools out freely; it is ready to cut the latter part of June. Sow broad- 

 cast at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre (14 lbs. per bushel). Per lb. 25c; per bushel $2.50; per 100 lbs. $16.00. 



Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass (Festuca pratensis) — 

 One of the best of the natural or permanent meadow 

 grasses. It is very hardy and succeeds in almost all soils, 

 but attains its greatest perfection in moist, rich land, com- 

 ing into use very early and again late in the fall. It 

 should form a prominent part in all permanent pasture 

 and meadow mixtures. (22 lbs. to the bushel.) Per lb. 30c; 

 per bushel $5.25; per 100 lbs. $23.00. 



Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata) — Is of exceptional value 

 for permanent pastures and for Hay crops. It is very early, 

 coming in ahead of all the other grasses, recovers quickly 

 after being cut, and endures close cropping by cattle. All 

 kinds of stock relish it greatly, and if cut when it comes 

 into flower makes excellent Hay. Thrives well on all 

 soils and attains its greatest perfection on strong, moist 

 and clay lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 35c; per 

 bushel $4.00; per 100 lbs. $27.00. 



Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Avena elatior) — It is the first grass 

 to show itself in spring and grows rapidly in good soil, 

 showing a height of 4 feet by June. It should be cut for 



' Hay just as coming into bloom, will furnish 2 and 3 cut- 

 tings per year, and is invaluable for early and late pas- 

 turage, furnishing a nice, sweet and tender herbage. Sow 

 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. (10 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 28c; 

 per bushel $2.65; per 100 lbs. $24.00. 



Meadow Foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) — Closely resembles 

 Timothy, but flowers much earlier and thrives in all soils 

 excepting dry sand or gravel. It succeeds best in strong, 

 moist, rich soils. It is highly relished by all kinds of 

 stock, endures close cropping, and forms a luxuriant after- 

 math. Many farmers confound this with our wild Foxtail 

 or Squirrel Grass, which is a great mistake, as this is 

 really a valuable variety. Per lb. 50c. 



Sudan Grass — Introduced in 1909 from Sudan by the U. S. Dept. 

 of Agriculture and destined, as some authorities believe, 

 to supplant Millet. Where it can be sow^n early enough 

 it will yield two immense crops of Hay during a season, 

 requiring less than two months to come to the proper cut- 

 ting stage — just before heading out. Great for dry sec- 

 tions, but though preferring a rich loam w^ill thrive any- 



where and on any soil. For seed sow about 4 lbs. per 

 acre in rows 3 feet apart. When broadcast or drilled in 

 for hay or fodder 16 to 24 lbs. per acre are required. Per 

 lb. 40c, (by mail 50c); 10 lbs. $3.75- 25 lbs. $9.00.

 Grass, Fancy cleaned) (Poa pratensis) — One of the first

 $11.50.

 ing evergreen grass, particularly adapted for hard, dry 

 soils, and hills pastured by sheep. (20 lbs. per bushel.)

 larly adapted for strong clay and wet soils; stands over- 

 flowing and should form a part of all mixtures for marshes 

 and wet lands. (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per lb. 50c; per 

 bushel $6.50; per 100 lbs. $45.00.

 bushel.) Write for prices. 



MILLETS 



Japanese Millet (Panicum crus-galli) — Is entirely distinct from any other. It yields an enormous crop of forage, which is 

 greatly relished by stock. When cured it makes excellent Hay. A splendid silage may be made by mixing 'two parts 

 Japanese Millet with Sand Vetch or Soy Beans, forming a complete balanced ration for milch cows. Sow the Seed broad- 

 cast at the rate of 30 lbs. to the acre, or in drills 12 to 18 inches apart, using 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. This variety has been
