 ALL PRICES ON APPLICATION 



TIMOTHY (Phelum Pratense)— This makes one of the most 

 popular, nutritious and salable of hay grasses. 



ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata)— Orchard Grass 

 is a very vigorous grower, and yields large crops of excellent 

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

 value with proper treatment. 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS— Kentucky Blue Grass is one of 

 the richest and most nutritious of pasturage grasses, and should 

 be largely used in all pasturage mixtures, except on very light 

 or sandy soils. 



RED TOP, or HERD'S GRASS— Red Top, or Herd's Grass, 

 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 

 several times a year, yielding bountifully at each cutting, and 

 the hay is of the highest feeding value. 



WHITE BOKHARA, or SWEET CLOVER— Can be sown 

 either in the spring or fall. Should be sown at the rate of 15 

 pounds to the acre. 



GOLDEN, or LIBERTY MILLET— Golden, or Liberty Millet

 growing and easily cured. 



MAMMOTH CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense Perenne)— Valu- 

 able with other grasses for mixed hay; ripens about with 

 Timothy. 



RED CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense)— Red Clover not only 

 furnishes most excellent pasturage and hay crops, but its growth 

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

 grown. 



ALSIKE CLOVER— Grows thicker and is finer in growth 

 than Red Clover, making better hay and probably more arid 

 better grazing. 



JAPAN CLOVER

 Lands totally unfit for other crops will produce Japan Clover. 

 Fine for reclaiming old worn-out fields and restoring them 

 fertility.

 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
