 manicum). — Early and productive, growing 2

Market prices. 



COMMON MILLET Weight, per bushel, 



50 pounds. 



IMPORTANT — It does not pay the far 

 mer to buy cheap Grass Seeds, as it is liable 

 to be either old seed, or full of weeds. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). 



This makes one of the most popular, nutritious 

 and salable of hay grasses. It Is best adapt- 

 ed for sowing on clay or heavy loams, low lands 

 or in mountainous districts, although it will do 

 well on any good stiff loamy soils, provided 

 moisture is abundant. It does not succeed 

 nearly as well, however, as Orchard, Tall Mead- 

 ow Oat or Herd's Grass on soils of a sandy or 

 light loamy texture, and is not of as much value 

 for pasturage as other grasses. The stand of 

 Timothy will also be Injured if grazed or cut 

 too closely. The yield of hay on good ground is 

 from one and a half to three tons per acre. The 

 best clover to pow with Timothy is either the 

 Sapling or Alsike, as they mature and ripen 

 with Timothy. Market prices. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. 



Thrives most everywhere. The best to sow with lawn grass and valu- 

 able to sow with blue grass for permanent pastures.

ORCHARD GRASS. 



(Dactylis gdomerata.) 



flNE of the beit and most reliable grasses for 

 v the Middle and Southern States, either for 

 hay or pasturage. It succeeds well on nearly 

 all soils, but does best on upland, loamy or 

 modm-at ly stiff soils. It starts early in the 

 spring and continues well into winter. It is of 

 quick growth and relished by stock, especially 

 when young, and bears close grazing. It makes 

 excellent hay, and gives the very best results 

 mixed and smwn with Tall Meadow Oat Grass 

 and Bed Clover, as suggested under the hea'i of 

 Tall Meadow Oat Grass. It should be cut when 

 in blossom, as the hay is injured if the seed is 

 allowed to ripen. It can be sown iu the spring 

 or fail either with grain or alone. Sow 3 bushels 

 per acre if town alone, or with Bed Clover, one 

 and one-half bushels of Orchard and seven 

 pounds of Clover are the quantities usually 

 sown. Price fluctuates.

RECLEANED RED CLOVER.

 " reasonable price. Farmers should not sow a poor Quality of Clover 

 Seed. We have, however, cheaper grades for those who wish them. 

 Market prices. 



ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER. 



HARDIEST of all the Clovers, and on rich, moist soils yields an enor- 

 mous quantity of hay or pasturage. Valuable for sowing with other 

 Clovers or Grasses, as it forms a thick bottom and increases the yield of 

 nay. Sow, either fall or spring, 6 pounds per acre when used alone.

LTJCEBNE. 



FINEST IN THE COUNTRY. 



Last June you sent me four bushels of German. Millet, and I now 

 have five acres of it. Everyone says it is the finest in the 

 country. It is in a low meadow, and the dry weather does not 

 seem to have any effect upon it.
