GRASSES. 



Timothy, or Herds Grass. Phletun Pratense. This grass is usually considered and treated as a short-lived 

 perennial, and hence is the best grass to grow in a short rotation. It succeeds best on moist loams and clays 

 naturally rich in humus or on those which have been heavily manured. It grows in loose tufts, with few 

 short leaves, so that Red Top or Red Clover should be sown with it to furnish heavy bottom growth of leaves. 

 Sow one-half bushel per acre if alone. (45 lbs. per bushel.) Superfine grade, per bushel, $4.25. 



Red Top, Agrostis vulgaris. A good permanent grass, which grows naturally in cold, wet soils. It should be 

 grown in cultivation in similar situations. A perennial with long creeping stems and underground runners; 

 one of the bes*^ bottom grasses, bearing large numbers of tine root leaves, making it invaluable for sowing with 

 erect tufted grasses, such as Orchard and Timothy, filling in between the clumps, and producing a continuous 

 turf. Sow four bushels per acre if alone. (10 lbs. per bushel.) Per bushel, $1.25: 100 lbs.. $10.00. 



Red Top. Cle.\n Seed. Chaff and weeds sifted out: pure fancy seed. We recommend this to all who desire 

 the best results, as its absolute purity and excellence insure satisfaction for farm, park, or lawn. Excellent for 

 restoring worn-out swards. Per lb., 25 cents; 100 lbs., $18.00. 



Kentucky Blue. Poa pratensis. Known as June Grass. A perennial, especially adapted to dry limestone 

 soils, but will thrive on any good ground which is not too wet. Very nutritious, hardy, and early. Sow three 

 bushels per acre if alone. (14 lbs. per bushel.) lb., 20 cents: 100 lbs., $15.00. 



Rhode Island Bent. Agrostis canina. A bottom grass, suitable for using with tufted varieties. Hardy and 

 early, and a grass that will withstand heat and dry weather. Sweet and nutritious and relished by all kinds of 

 stock. Should be used in all pasture mixtures. Sow 4 bus. per acre if alone. (10 lbs. per bus.) Per bus., $2.50. 



Orchard. Dactylis glomerata. A deep-rooted perennial, growing in tufts. A strong, vigorous grower, which 

 succeeds best on rich lands or clayey soils. After each cutting the growth is very rapid. Should be cut for hay 

 at the time of first flowering. Sow three bushels per acre if alone, (14 lbs. per bushel.) Per bushel, $2.50.
