MEADOW FESCIE, RAXDALL. or 

 ENGLISH RUE GRASS (Festnca 

 Pratensis). — This should be very 

 much more largely used than at pres- 

 ent. It makes a very good hay and 

 pasturage grass, and is particularly 

 valuable for fall and winter pasturage, 

 as it remains green throughout the 

 winter. It is very popular in Southwest 

 Virginia, East Tennessee and the moun- 

 tainous districts of North Carolina, 

 where it is very highly appreciated as 

 a large-yielding, nutritious pasturage 

 and hay grass. It succeeds well in 

 nearly all sections of the South, and 

 should be very largely used in pastur- 

 age and hay mixtures, being specially 

 suitable for sowing with Red Top and 

 Timothy for hay. or with these and Or- 

 chard and Tall Meadow Oat for perma- 

 nent pasturage. Sow either in the 

 spring or fall at the rate of 2 bushels 

 to the acre. Thrives better under trees 

 than other grasses.

AWXLESS BROME GRASS (Brom- 

 ns Inermis). — Comparatively a new- 

 grass in this country, but in Hungary 

 (Europe), its principal home, it is the chief meadow grass of the 

 sandy moorlands. It grows coarse, resembling Orchard Grass: 

 prefers light, dry soil. It roots deeply, and stands protracted 

 droughts well, and w-ill thrive upon soils too poor and dry to 

 grow anything else but broom sedge, hence is valuable for such 

 situations, both for grazing and hay, and especially in mixtures 

 ■with other grasses. It has, however, been talked up very much 

 in the agricultural press, especially in the "West, and is worthy 

 of extended trial. Sow at the rate of from 2 to 3 bushels per 

 acre, when sown bv itself, either in the spring or fall.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.— It is rather sensitive to heat, 

 but not so to cold weather, and on this account does its best in 

 the fall, winter and spring. It grows slowly at first, forms a 

 very compact turf, making a fine pasturage when once estab- 

 lished. It is much the best, however, to combine other grasses 

 with it. for either lawn or pasturage. Sow in the spring or fall. 

 Fancy, triple-cleaned. Bus. (14 Lbs.), !j?l.60. 5 Bns., $7.50. 



NOTICE.- Beware of cheap Canada Blue Grass, as it is full of 

 thistle.

TALL MEADOW OAT GR.\SS (Avena Blatior).— Most valu- 

 able for pastures on account of its early and luxuriant growth; 

 it produces an abundant supply of foliage, which is relished by 

 cattle, early and late. For hay it may be cut twice a year, and 

 for green soiling it may be cut four or five times in favorable 

 seasons. It is very hardy, and withstands extreme drought and 

 heat and cold. Height, 2 to 4 feet. 'jO pounds to the acre. (13 

 pounds to bushel). Lb., 25c. lOO Lbs., $18,00. 



RED TOP, OR HERD'S GRASS 

 (Agrosis Vulffarls). — This grass 

 makes excellent pasturage and good 

 crop of fine quality hay, and succeeds 

 on a greater variety of soils than any 

 other grass in general use. giving very 

 good results on light soils and the very 

 best results on heavier, moist, or low 

 ground soils. It is rather late in start- 

 ing in the spring, and matures its crop 

 at the same time as Timothy. Is ex- 

 cfllently adniitcil for seeding with 

 Timothy for :ni'l furnishes excel- 



lent pasturnm' iifli rwards. When It 

 gets well estalili.shed it will gradually 

 supplant other grasses. The grades of 

 the seed usually sold are the grade in 

 the chaff, known as Prime, and the 

 Fancy Clean seed, which is the seed 

 cleaned from the chaff and all impuri- 

 ties. We would strongly advise our 

 customers to sow the Fancy Clean 

 seed in preference to the Prime, or the 

 seed in the chaff, as it will give much 

 better and more satisfactory results. 

 We can also furnish the Choice and 

 Prime Fancy Red Top as usually sold. 

 It requires about S to 10 pounds to seed 

 an acre of the Fancy Clean Seed, or 

 3 to 5 bushels of the Prim.e.

 perennial grass for dry. sandy and rocky soil where scarcely any 

 other species will grow. It roots deeply, and forms a dense, 

 short tuft, suitable for lawns and pleasure grounds, where the 

 soil is sandy. It affords wholesome food for all cattle, especially 

 sheep. Specially recommended for pasturage mixtures. Sow 

 about 25 pounds per acre. Lh. 20c. Bns. of 14 Lhs., $2.00.
