Orchard Grass 



1114. Orchard Grass. One of the best and most reliable 

 grasses for the Middle and Southern States, either for hay or 

 pasture. It 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. It is succulent and 

 nutritious and when mowed requires only a few days of season- 

 able weather to start it growing again and usually two good 

 crops of hay can be cut in a season. It succeeds well on nearly 

 all soils, but does best on uplands, loamy or moderate stiff 

 soils. Although it will succeed very well even on soils that are 

 inclined to be of a fandy texture. It also succeeds in shady 

 places better than other grasses, especially in orchards. It 

 starts early in the Spring and continues well into Winter. It 

 is of quick growth, <md 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. It should be cut when in blossom, 

 as the hay is injured if the 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 alone, or with Red Clover, 

 one and one-half bushels of Orchard Grass and eight pounds 

 of Clover are the quantities usually sown. Price : " Monu-

A Splendid Quick Growing Summer Hay Crop 



1125. German or Golden Millet, Southern Grown. Makes a large yielding 

 and most nutritious hay crop, quick and easily cured. It should be seeded 

 thickly, one bushel per acre, and should be harvested while in bloom. If the 

 seeds are allowed to form the stalks get hard and it does not make so good 

 a hay. Should be sown at any time between the middle of May until the end 

 of June at the rate of 1 bushel per acre. Millet should never be sown until the 

 earth is warm in the Spring and when continued warm weather is assured. It 

 is also used as a catch crop after early grain or a crop which fails. It matures 

 a crop in 6 to 8 weeks after seeding. Cow Peas sown with German Millet makes 

 fine hay. Sown in this way, it should be sown with some quick maturing variety 

 of Cow Peas and should be sown at the rate of three pecks of Millet and one 

 bushel of Cow Peas to the acre. " Monumental " Brand Fancy Southern Millet, 

 Pk. $1.00. Bu. of 50 lbs. $3.50. 



1126. Hungarian Millet. Often called Hungarian Grass. Many regard this 

 as being better even than German Millet, as it is about one week earlier and 

 requires less moisture. The hay is fine and of excellent feeding value. 



It can be sown as late as the 4th of July with good results, in ordinary 

 seasons. It is much used for following such crops as early potatoes and barley 

 for a crop of hay, thus giving two crops on the same land in one year. Also grown 

 as a green manuring crop to turn under, adding humus or fertility for future 

 crops. Hungarian Millet does not grow so coarse as some other varieties, but 

 still yields quite heavily, from two to four tons of hay to the acre being an 

 ordinary crop. Hay is quite leafy, of very fine quality. Should be sown at any 

 time between the middle of May until the end of June at the rate of one bushel 

 per acre. " Monumental " Brand, Pk. 85c. Bu. $3.00. 



1207. Japanese Millet. Grows from 6 to 9 feet high, stands up remarkably 

 and yields enormous crops. It makes good hay and in quality is superior to 

 corn fodder. It is relished by all kinds of stock. 15 lbs. to acre broadcast. 

 10 to 12 lbs. in drills 12 inches apart. Cultivate until 18 inches high when its rapid 

 growth will smother all weeds. It does best on low moist ground. " Monumen- 

 tal" Brand, 10 Lbs. 55c. 100 Lbs. $5.00. 



1170. Pearl or Cattail Millet. It is largely used by dairymen. It furnishes 

 them green food throughout the Summer. Should not be planted before May 

 in warm soils, as it is a tropical plant and grows to the best advantage in warm 

 weather. It will grow 10 to 12 feet high, but should be cut when it has reached 

 the height of 3 to 4 feet, when it will stool out enormously and make a rapid 

 growth. In this way 3 or 4 cuttings a season can be obtained. It can be fed 

 either green or cured as dried forage, making a most nutritious feed which is 

 relished by all kinds of stock. Sow 5 lbs. per acre in drills 3 feet apart or broadcast 

 at the rate of 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. Please write for prices.
