Monumental Brand Timothy 



Timothy 



Clovers grow well with 

 Timothy and aid it by sup- 

 plying nitrogen. Timothy 

 alone should be sown at the 

 rate of a peck (11 pounds) to 

 the acre, or with clover 10 

 pounds Timothy and 6 

 pounds clover. A splendid 

 mixture is 8 pounds Tim- 

 othy, 6 pounds clover (either 

 mammoth or alsike clover 

 preferred, as they mature at 

 the same time as Timothy), 

 6 pounds fancy redtop, 

 J/^bus. meadow fescue. To- 

 gether these produce most 

 excellent hay, also nutritious 

 and abundant pasture in 

 good loamy clay or low 

 ground soils. Monumental 

 Brand Seed, lb. 15 cts.; pk. 

 $1; bus. (45 lbs.) $3.50. 



Timothy and Alsike Clover Mixed 



For hay, the Alsike and Timothy mixture is very valuable 

 on soils too moist for red clover. Alsike is suitable for either 

 hay or pasture. It is finer and more leafy than medium red 

 clover and cattle prefer it. Monumental Brand Seed, lb. 

 18 cts.; 50 lbs. or over at 15 cts. per lb. 



Kentucky Blue Grass 



Not only the best for lawn purposes, but also makes the 

 sweetest and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. 

 It is now possible to establish on most any farm Blue Grass 

 pasture of greenest verdure which will give very profitable re- 

 turns. The first to start up in the spring, it remains green 

 until snow flies in the fall. It will do well on almost any land, 

 but does best on well-drained clay. Sow in the fall or spring 

 at the rate of two to three bushels per acre. Monumental 

 Brand Seed, lb. 40 cts.; pk. $1.25; bus. (14 lbs.) $5.35. 



Redtop or Herd's Grass 



Produces excellent pasturage and 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. The place 

 for Redtop is on rather moist soil, deficient in lirne and 

 fertility. It will grow where the soil is too poor for timothy 

 and Kentucky blue grass. A good variety to sow with timothy 

 and clover for meadow or pasture, and is more permanent 

 than either of them. It can be sown either in the spring or 

 fall. Monumental Brand Fancy Seed, lb. 30 cts.; 10 lbs. or 

 over at 25 cts. per lb. 



Meadow Fescue (Randall or English Blue Grass) 



A most excellent hay grass, particularly valuable for fail 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. Grows 2 to 

 3 feet high but not in tufts like orchard grass. The hay is 

 very nutritious and cattle thrive on it whether it is dry or 

 green. Succeeds even on poor soil, and as the roots penetrate 

 from 12 to 15 inches deep, it takes extremely dry weather to 

 affect it. Sow either in the spring or fall, at the rate of 2 bushels 

 to the acre. Lb. 30 cts.; pk. $1.50; bus. (24 lbs.) $5.50. 



Carpet Grass 



One of the leading grasses of the South for lawns, golf links, 

 and very valuable for pastures as it aff'ords grazing all winter, 

 especially in Florida. It grows very well in shade and will 

 thrive on poor sandy soils. Sow from 8 to 12 pounds per acre 

 in either fall or spring. Lb. 40 cts.; 100 lbs. $35. 



Bermuda Grass 



Especially adapted for lawns and pasture mixtures in the 

 South where many other grasses do not grow. When used in 

 connection with English rye grass it insures a green sod 

 throughout the year. The rye grass should be sown in the fall 

 when the Bermuda Grass turns brown. It is very well adapted 

 to light soils and in some sections of the South is the only 

 pasture grass that will make a good sod on such a soil. It 

 also does very well on clay and loamy soil. Very largely used 

 for sowing on hillsides and embankments to bind and hold 

 the soil from washiiig. Lb. 45 cts.; 10 lbs. and over at 40 cts. 

 per lb. 



Sudan Grass 



A tall grass reaching 7 to 9 feet when planted in rows and 

 allowed to mature for seed crop; if broadcast and cut in the 

 bloom for hay, it grows about 4 feet high. It has proved so 

 satisfactory that it is now established as one of our permanent 

 forage crops. Three tons of cured hay per acre have been 

 secured, and three cuttings made. It is a great drought-re- 

 sister and is particularly adapted to semi-arid regions. As 

 it is an annual it must be seeded each spring. A good silage 

 crop when sown with cowpeas or soja beans. Sow 40 pounds 

 to the acre. Lb. 15 cts.; 100 lbs. $8. 



Tall Meadow Oat Grass 



Yielding twice as much hay as timothy or orchard grass, 

 and is as early as orchard grass, with more leaf and affording 

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

 popular. It keeps green all winter and all summer; the 

 drought of midsummer or the cold of winter does not injure 

 it. As it starts growing very early in the spring it can be cut 

 twice for hay. Monumental Brand Fancy Seed, lb. 25 cts.; 

 bus. (11 lbs.) $2.25. 



Orchard Grass 



Succeeds in shady places, especially in orchards. Starts 

 early in the spring and continues well into winter. It is of 

 quick growth, and is relished by stock, especially when it is 

 young and tender, and withstands close grazing. Makes 

 excellent hay, and gives the very best results grown with tall 

 meadow oat grass and red clover. It should be cut when in 

 blossom, as the hay is damaged if the seed is allowed to ripen. 

 Sow in spring or fall, either with grain or alone, 2 bushels per 

 acre if sown alone, or with red clover, 13^ bushels of orchard 

 grass and 8 pounds of clover are the quantities usually sown. 

 Monumental Brand Fancy Seed, lb. 25 cts.; bus. (14 lbs.) 

 $2.75. 



Red or Creeping Fescue 



A creeping, rooted variety forming a close and durable turf 

 particularly suited to dry, sandy soils. Resists drought and 

 thrives on very poor soils, gravelly banks, and exposed hill- 

 sides. Valuable for shady lawns and golf-courses. Sow 30 

 pounds to the acre if used alone. Monumental Brand Seed, 

 lb. 45 cts.; bus. (14 lbs.) $5.50.
