It does not succeed so well, however, as Orchard, Tall 
Meadow or Herd’s Grass on soil of a sandy or loamy texture, and is 
not of so much value for pasturage as other grasses. 
Herd’s Grass and Meadow Fescue mature at the same time as Tim- 
othy, and are excellent grasses to sow with it, both for hay and pastur- 
age. They will increase the yield of hay and will very largely increase 
the yield and value of the pasturage.

ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata).—Orchard Grass is a very 
vigorous grower, and yields large crops of excellent and most nutriti- 
ous hay, and will last for years in increasing value with proper treat- 
ment. It is succulent and nutritious, and when mowed requires only a 
few days of seasonable weather to start it growing again, and usually 
two good crops of hay can be cut in a season. 
can be kept in a continuous state of productiveness, provided a light 
seeding is made early each spring. It can be sown either in the spring 
or fall, although it is best sown in the spring. Sow at the rate of two 
bushels per acre, or if sown with Red Clover, one and a half bushels 
of Orchard Grass and eight pounds of Clover are the quantities usually

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.—Kentucky Blue Grass is one of the richest and most nutritious of pastur- 
age 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 Rand- 
all Grass, will give an excellent all-the-year-round 
pasturage. 
GOLDEN, or LIBERTY MILLET.—Golden, or 
Liberty Millet makes a large yielding and most nu- 
tritious 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. If the seed is allowd to form, 
the stalks get hard, and it does not make nearly 
as good quality hay, and at the same time it 1s 
more exhaustive to the land. 
RHODE ISLAND BENT (Agrostis Canina).— 
A fine and very permanent grass, chiefly used for 
pastures or lawns, for which it is one of the best. 
Bushel equals fourteen pounds. 
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 
lowground, 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 increas- 
ing in yield and quantity each successive year. 
BERMUDA GRASS.—One of the most valuable 
pasturage grasses for the South. Recommended 
for spring seeding only.
