ORCHARD GRASS— (Dacty- 

 lis Glomerata) — Of excep- 

 tional value for permanent 

 pasture and for hay crops. 

 It is very early, coming in 

 ahea<l of all other grasses, 

 recovers quickly after being 

 cut and endures close cropping. 

 If cut when it comes into 

 flower makes excellent hay, 

 but if allowed to stand, how- 

 ever, it becomes hard and 

 pithy. On this account it 

 should never be sown with 

 Timothy. It thrives well on 

 all soils. (14 lbs. per bu.) 

 Postpaid, lb. 30c; 3 lbs. 

 85c. By express or freight 

 at buyer's expense, bu. 

 $2.25. 



ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS 



RED OR CREEPING FESCUE— (Festuca Rubra) — A valuable grass 

 for sowing on dry pastures, light soils and railroad embankments.

 soil that it remains green after manv other grasses have dried up.

 freight at buyer's expense, bu. $4.75.

 and wet lands. It is much relished by stock and makes an excel- 

 lent hay. (14 lbs. per bu.) Postpaid, lb. 35c; 3 lbs. $1.00.

 er's expense, bu. $2.75.

 be sown in all shady places in lawns, etc. (14 lbs. per bu.) Post- 

 paid, lb. 50c; 3 lbs. $1.25. By express or freight at buyer's

GRASS AND CLOVER SEED 



BUCKBEE'S RELIABLE BLEND. FOR MEADOWS AND PERMANENT PASTURES. 



All authorities agree that for PASTURE and HAY best results are obtained from the use of grass 

 seeds IN MIXTURE. The reasons are obvious: First — A NUMBER OF SPECIES will insure a much 

 DENSER GROWTH than the same number of seeds of one or two species, and prove less exhausting 

 to the soil, since they live to a great extent on different constituents. Second — Seasons that affect 

 some grasses adversely are FAVORABLE to other sorts. So that with mixtures failure is PRAC- 

 TICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, provided, of course, the seed is good. We take great pains in selecting grass 

 seeds, In order to secure the HIGHEST GERMINATION, and our mixtures are based on a full appre- 

 ciation of the requirements of different soils for which they are intended.
