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 tarm 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 ” 
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”

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

Grass, early as Orchard Grass with more leaf and affording 
better grazing, it 1s not strange that this grass is becoming so

drought of Midsummers or the cold of Winter does not injure 
it. It starts growing very early in the Spring, can be cut twice

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
