ORCHARD GRASS. 



ORCHARD GRASS. 

 (Dactylis glomeratn.) 



ONE of the best and most reli- 

 able grasses for the Middle rnd 

 Southern States, either for hay 

 or pasturage. It s"cceeds well on 

 nearly all soils, but does best on 

 upland, loamy or moderately 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 ex- 

 cellent hay, and gives the very best 

 results mixed and grown with Tall 

 Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover, 

 as suggested under the head 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 in the spring 

 or fall either with grain or alone. 

 Sow 3 bushels per acre if sown 

 alone, or with Red Clover, one ard 

 one-half bushels of Orchard and 

 seven pounds of Clover are the 

 quantities usually sown. Price fluc- 

 tuates.

RECLEANED RED CLOVER. 



TVTE take great pains to supply an extra quality of Red Clover 

 \A/ at a 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 

 4n enormous quantity of hay or pasturage. Valuable for sowing 

 with other Clovers or Grasses, as it forms a thick bottom and 

 increases the yield of hay. Sow, either fall or spring, 6 pounds 

 Der acre when used alone.

Lncerne or Alfafa ClOYer. 



One of the most valuable among Clov- 

 .*rs, resisting drought and remaining 

 4rreen when other sorts are dried up. 

 Sow on rich, moist loam or sandy soil. 

 Prepare the land thoroughly and sow, 

 either fall or spring, 30 pounds to the 

 -»cre. •

LUCERNE. 



FINEST IN THE COrWTRY. 



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.

MILLET. 



GERMAN, OR GOLDEN MILLET. 



AN improved variety, medium early, growing three to flvo 

 feet high. The heads are closely condensed, though tfaie 

 spikes are very numerous. This is the best and most.pro- 

 ductive Millet to grow. Weight, per bushel. 50 pounds. 

 Market prices. 



HUNGARIAN MILLET (Panicam germanicum).— Early and 

 productive, growing 2 to 3 feet high, with an abundance of 

 foliage and slender heads. Weight, per bushel of 48 pounds 

 Market prices. 



COMMON MILLET.— Weight, per bushel, 50 pounds. 



IJUPORTANT.— It does not pay the farmer to buy cheap 

 Grass Seeds, as it is liable to be either old seed, or Coll 

 of 'vreeds. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). 



This makes one of the most popular, nutritious and salable ot 

 hay grasses. It is best adapted for sowing on clay or heavy 

 loams, low lands or in mountainous districts, although it wlM 

 do well on any good stiff loamy soils, provided moisture is abun- 

 dant. It does not succeed nearly as well, however, as Orchard. 

 Tall Meadow 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 U 

 grazed or cut too closely. The yield of hay on good ground la 

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

 sow 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 valuable to sow 

 with blue grass for permanent pastures
