r 



Timothy. 



TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense).— This makes one 

 of the most popular, nutritious and salable of hay 

 grasses. It is best adapted for sowing on clay or 

 heavy loam, lowlands or in mountainous districts, 

 although it will do well on any good loamy soils, 

 provided moisture is abundant. 



ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata).— Or- 

 chard 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. It is succulent and nutritious, 

 and when mowed requires only a few days of sea- 

 sonable weather to start it growing again, and 

 usually two good crops of hay can be cut in a 

 season. 



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. A fine grass for dry 

 ground under Bay windows, overlapping roofs and 

 shady side yards. Sow 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 



SUDAN GRASS.— Sudan, the greatest forage 

 crop, should be grown on every farm, where either 

 hay or pasture is desired. It is highly resistant to 

 drought and stands very heavy grazing. Yields 

 from 2 to 10 tons per acre, is superior to either 

 Millet or Sorghum in feeding quality, and may be 

 fed in unlimited quantities. Sow 10 to 20 pounds 

 per acre, 1 to 1^ inches deep, the highest quality 

 hay resulting from heavy seeding. 



ITALIAN RYE GRASS— Recommended princi- 

 pally for fall seeding. Will yield two to three 

 cuttings of nutritious hay per year, and particularly 

 adapted for rich, loamy soils and low grounds. 



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. For fall, winter, and spring, it makes the 

 very best of pasturage, and mixed with other 

 grasses, like Herd's Grass, or Red Top and Meadow 

 Fescue, or Randall Grass, will give an excellent 

 all-the-year-round pasturage. 



GOLDEN, or LIBERTY MILLET.— Golden, or 



Liberty Millett makes a large yielding and most 

 nutritious hay crop, quick-growing and easily cured. 

 It requires, however, to be seeded thickly — not less 

 than one bushel per acre — and the crop should 

 always be cut while in bloom, before the seed 

 hardens in the head. 



CERTIFIED PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND 

 BENT SEED.— Prince Edward Island Bent is a 

 pure, hardy strain of Rhode Island Bent (Agrostis 

 tenuis) grown on Prince Edward Island, Canada, 

 where severe winters prevail, and has proven ex- 

 ceptionally hardy when given fair treatment under 

 turf conditions. 



SOUTH GERMAN MIXED BENT.— Formerly 

 called Creeping Bent, is a natural mixture of sev- 

 eral fine bent grasses, including Rhode Island and 

 Creeping Bent. The best turf grass for Putting 

 Greens. Sow 5 pounds to 1,000 square feet. 



RED TOP, or HERD'S GRASS.— Red Top, or 

 Herd's Grass, is one of the best and most satisfac- 

 tory grasses all throughout the South. It is well 

 adapted to all soils and situations, succeeding well 

 on light, sandy soils, as well as stiff upland and 

 low ground, and it really succeeds better in moist 

 situations than almost any other grass. After once 

 being established, it thickens and improves year by 

 year, taking possession of the land and increasing 

 in yield and quantity each successive year. 



BERMUDA GRASS.— One of the most valuable 

 pasturage grasses for the South. Recommended 

 for spring seeding only.
