! TIMOTHY (Phelum Pratense)— This makes one of the most 



■ popular, nutritious and salable of hay grasses. It is best adapted 

 for sowing on clay or heavy loam, lowlands or in mountainous 

 districts, although it will do well on any good loamy soils, 

 provided moisture is abundant. 



ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata)— Orchard Grass 

 jt is a very vigorous grower, and yields large crops of excellent 

 'i and most nutritious hay, and will last for years in increasing 

 J value with proper treatment. It is succulent and nutritious. 

 Hand when mowed requires only a few days of seasonable 

 K weather to start it growing again, and usually two good crops 

 ! of hay can be cut in a season. 



ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS (Pea Trivialis)— 



'No Grass is better adapted for pleasure grounds, particularly 

 I! under trees, as it will not only grow in such places, but forms 

 ' a fine sward where few other Grasses can exist. A fine grass 

 ' for dry ground under Bay windows, overlapping roofs, and 

 'i shady side yards. Sow 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 



' SUDAN GRASS— Sudan, the greatest forage crop, should be 



grown on every farm, where either hay or pasture is desired. 



It is highly resistant to drought and stands very heavy grazing. 



1 Yields from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either Millet 



or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be fed in unlimited 



■ quantities. Sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre, 1 to Ij^ inches 

 deepj the highest quality hay resulting from heavy seeding. 



ITALIAN RYE GRASS— Recommended principally for fall 

 seeding. Will yield two to three cuttings of nutritious hay per 

 year, and particularly adapted for rich, loamy soils and low 

 grounds. 



j KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— Kentucky Blue Grass is one of 

 ! the richest and most nutritious of pasturage grasses, and should 

 ■ be largely used in all pasturage mixtures, except on very light 

 or sandy soils. For fall, winter, and spring, it makes the very 

 best of pasturage, and mixed with other grasses, like Herd's 

 Grass, or Red Top and Meadow Fescue, or Randall Grass, will 

 give an excellent all-the-year-round pasturage. 



GOLDEN, or LIBERTY MILLET— Golden, or Liberty Millet 

 makes a large yielding and most nutritious hay crop, quick- 

 growing and easily cured. It requires, however, to be seeded 

 thickly — not less than one bushel per acre — and the crop should 

 always be cut while in bloom, before the seed hardens in the 

 head. 



SOUTH GERMAN MIXED BENT— Formerly called Creep- 

 ing Bent, is a natural mixture of several fine bent grasses, in- 

 cluding Rhode Island and Creeping Bent. The best turf grass 

 for Putting Greens. Sow 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet. 



RED TOP, or HERD'S GRASS— Red Top, or Herd's Grass, 

 is one of the best and most satisfactory grasses all throughout 

 the South. It is well adapted to all soils and situations, succeed- 

 ing well on light, sandy soils. 



BERMUDA GRASS— One of the most valuable pasturage 

 grasses for the Soutli. Recommended for spring seeding only.

RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense)— Red Clover not only 

 furnishes most excellent pasturage and hay crops, but its growth 

 improves the land and adds humus to the soil wherever it is 

 grown. It is the standard hay, pasturage and soil-improving 

 crop wherever general farming is practiced. 



MAMMOTH CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense Perenne)— Valu- 

 able with other grasses for mixed hay ; ripens about with 

 Timothy. Being a rank grower, it is largely used for plowing 

 under as a fertilizer. 



ALSIKE CLOVER — Grows thicker and is finer in growth 

 than Red Clover, making better hay and probably more and 

 better grazing. It is also hardier, resisting extremes of heat 

 and drought, and also severely cold weather to a remarkable 

 extent. It succeeds on a variety of soils, light upland loamy 

 lands as well as stiff bottom lands. The good qualities of 

 Alsike are being appreciated everywhere.
