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 n6w 

 possible to establish on most any farm 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" 

 Brand Seed, Lb. 45c. Pk. $1.50. Bu. of 14 lbs. $5.50. 



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"

 green throughout the Winter. It is also a splendid Spring and 

 Summer Grass and usually makes more and thicker leafage 

 than any other Grass. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts 

 like Orchard Grass. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive 

 on it whether dry or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as 

 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 

 rate of 2 bushels to the acre. 24 lbs. to bu. Price Lb. 30c. Pk.

 Bermuda Grass is very well adapted to light soil and in some 

 sections of the South is the only pasture grass that will make 

 a good sod on this class of soil. It also does very well on 

 clay and loamy soil. Bermuda Grass is ver>' largely used for 

 sowing on hillsides and embankments for binding and holding

 Grass, early as Orchard Grass with more leaf and affording 

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

 popular. It will keep green all Winter and all Summer; the 

 drought of Midsummers or the cold of Winter does not injure 

 it. It starts growing very early in the Spring, can be cut twice 

 for hay. Price : " Monumental " Brand Fancy, Lb. 20c. Bu. of

 than other grasses, especially in orchards. It starts early in the

 and is relished by stock, especially when young and bears close 

 grazing. It makes excellent hay, and gives the very best results 

 mixed and grown with Tall Meadow Oat -Grass and Red Clover.

 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

 Grass and eight pounds of Clover are the quantities usually
