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

 value with proper treatment. 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— Kentucky Blue Grass is one of

 •or sandv soils.

 is one of the best and most satisfactory grasses all throughout 

 the South. 



ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS (Poa Trivialis)— 

 No Grass is better adapted for pleasure grounds, particularly 

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

 a fine sward where few other Grasses can exist. 



ALFALFA, or LUCERNE— The hardiest and most lasting of 

 all Clovers, and when once established the most productive as 

 well as the best soil-enricher of all. It can be cut for hay

 able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with

 furnishes most excellent pasturage and hay crops, but its growth 

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

 grown.

 than Red Clover, making better hay and probably more and 

 better grazing.

 Lands totally unfit for other crops will produce Japan Clover. 

 Fine for reclaiming old worn-out fields and restoring them 

 to fertility.

 Corn. It has deep, soft and very white grains ; it is a vigorous 

 grower and has become very popular.

 maturing in about 120 days. 



PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE— Our Pamunkey Ensilage Corn is 

 bred for height of stalk, breadth and thickness of foliage, as well 

 as size and number of ears. It is of strong and vigorous growth, 

 attaining a height of 13 to 15 feet, yields an unsually heavy 

 growth of fodder and usually bears two ears to the stalk. The 

 ears 'are 10 to 12 inches long, 2^4 to 2J/2 inches in diameter,

 yield of beans the Virginia makes most excellent hay and 

 ensilage. As it is about 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow, 

 it can be grown further North and throughout the corn belt.

 grown for both beans and forage, both of which it yields in 

 great abundance. It grows more than 3 feet high; is erect in
