Kentucky Blue Grass 



1118. This grass is not only the best for lawn purposes, but makes the 

 sweetest and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. Kentucky has long 

 been famous for its high bred horses and its Blue Grass pastures. It is now 

 possible to establish on most any farm a Blue Grass pasture of greenest verdure 

 which will give very profitable returns. This Grass is the first to start up in 

 the Spring and remains green until snow flies in the Fall. It will do well on 

 almost any land, but does best on well drained clay land. Sow in the Fall or 

 Spring at the rate of two or three bushels per acre. Price : " Monumental " 

 Brand Seed, Lb, 60c. Pk. $2.00. Bu. of 14 lbs. 7,75. 



Monumental Brand Timothy 



Red Top or Herd's Grass 



1111. This Grass makes excellent pasturage and good 

 crop of fine quality hay, and succeeds on a greater variety of 

 soils than any other in general use, giving very good results 

 on light soils. The place for Red Top is on rather moist soil, 

 deficient in lime and fertility. It will grow where the soil is 

 too poor for Timothy and Kentucky Blue Grass. It is a good 

 variety to sow with Timothy and Clover for meadow or pasture 

 and is more permanent than either of the other two. It can be 

 sown either in the Spring or Fall. Price: "Monumental" 

 Brand Fancy Seed, Lb. 45c. 10 Lbs. or over at 40c lb. Prices 

 uctuate; latest prices quoted upon application. 



1122. Meadow Fescue, Randall or English Blue Grass. 



ft makes a most excellent hay and pasturage Grass and is par- 

 ticularly valuable for Fall and Winter pasturage, as it remains 

 green throughout the Winter. It is also a splendid Spring and 

 Summer Grass and usually makes more and thicker leafage 

 than any other Grass. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts 

 like Orchard Grass. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive 

 on it whether dry or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as 

 the roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes ex- 

 tremely dry weather to affect it. It succeeds well in nearly all 

 sections of the South. Sow either in the Spring or Fall at the 

 rate of 2 bushels to the acre. 24 lbs. to bu. Price Lb. 35c. Pk. 

 $1.90, Bu. of 24 lbs. $7.00. 



1251. Bermuda Grass. Specially adapted to Lawns and 

 Pasture Mixtures in the South where many other grasses will 

 not grow. When used in connection with English Rye Grass 

 will insure a green sod throughout the year. The Rye Grass 

 to be sown in the Fall when the Bermuda Grass turns brown. 

 Bermuda Grass is very well adapted to light soil and in some 

 sections of the South is the only pasture grass that will make 

 a good sod on this class of soil. It also does very well on 

 clay and loamy soil. Bermuda Grass is very largely used for 

 sowing on hillsides and embankments for binding and holding 

 the soil. Lb, 60c, 10 Lbs, and over at 55c lb. 



Carpet Grass 



One of the leading grasses of the South for Lawns, Golf Links

 winter, especially in Florida. It grows very well in shade and 

 will thrive better than most grasses on poor sandy soils. Seed 

 from 8 to 12 lbs. per acre in either fall or spring. Price, lb. $.60, 

 100 lbs. $55.00. 



Sudan Grass 



It is a tall annual grass reaching a height of 7 to 9 feet 

 when planted in rows and allowed to mature for seed crop; 

 broadcasted and cut in the bloom for hay, about 4 feet. The 

 results have been so satisfactory that it is now established 

 one of our permanent forage crops. Three tons of cured hay 

 per acre has been secured, and three cuttings made. It is a 

 great drought resister and is particularly adapted to semi-arid 

 regions. It is an annual and must be seeded each Spring. A 

 good Silage Crop when sown with Cow Peas or Soja Beans.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass 



1123. Yielding twice as much hay as Timothy or Orchard 

 Grass, early as Orchard Grass with more leaf and affording 

 better grazing, it is not strange that this grass is becoming so 

 popular. It will keep green all Winter and all Summer; the 

 drought of Midsummers or the cold of Winter does not injure 

 it. It starts growing very early in the Spring, can be cut twice 

 for hay. Price : " Monumental " Brand Fancy, Lb. 25c. Bu. of 

 11 lbs. $2,50. Write for latest prices. 



Orchard Grass 



1114. Orchard Grass. It succeeds in shady places better 

 than other grasses, especially in orchards. It starts early in the 

 Spring and continues well into Winter. It is of quick growth, 

 and is relished by stock, especially when young and bears close 

 grazing. It makes excellent hay, and gives the very best results 

 mixed and grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. 

 It should be cut when in blossom, as the hay is injured if the 

 seed is allowed to ripen. It can be sown in the Spring or Fall, 

 either with grain or alone. Sow two bushels per acre if sown 

 alone, or with Red Clover, one and one-half bushels of Orchard 

 Grass and eight pounds of Clover are the quantities usually 

 sown. Price: "Monumental" Fancy, Lb. 30c. Bu. of 14 lbs. 

 $3.50.

 soils, gravelly banks and exposed hillsides. Valuable for shady 

 lawns and for golf courses. Sow 30 lbs. to the acre if used 

 alone. Price: "Monumental" Brand, Lb. 50c. Bu. of 14 lbs.
