Bolgiano's ^Tapitol Brand" Grass and Forage Seeds 



Kentucky Blue Grass 



(Poa pratensis). Thii ^ass It not only 

 the best for lawn purposes, but makes 

 the sweetest and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. It is 

 very hardy and is uninjured by cold or dry weather, hot sun or trampling 

 of hoofs. The roots are so thick and stout that they form a tough sod. 

 Blue Grass requires about two years to get well started and for that reason 

 it ii often sown in mixture with other grasses. It will do well on almost 

 any land, but does best on well drained clay land. Sow in the Fall or 

 Spring at the rate of two or three bushels per acre. 



Bermuda Grass Especially adapted for golf fairways and sum- 

 mer greens in the south where other grasses 

 will not grrow. Withstands drought and scorching Summer Sun better 

 than any other variety. Has exceptionally long heavy root system. Clov- 

 ers bare spaces by long overground runneri. Diet down completely in 

 winter. Sow it at the rate of 6 to 6 i>onnds to acre. 



Poa. Trivialis (Rough stalked Meadow Grass). Recommended 

 for shady placet. It it a fine leafed, even turf- 

 forming grass, and used mostly for fine lawns, although it it valuable 

 as a bottom grass in pasture mixtures. 



Red Top or Herds Grass CAgrostis vulgaris), it is a 



good, i>ermanent grass, stand- 

 mg our climate well, and makes a good pasture when grazed close. Is 

 valuable for low, wet meadows, producing a large return in good hay. 

 When sown alone, use about 12 pounds of the fancy seed per acre. Sow 

 in Spring or Fall. 



Orchard Grass (Oactylls glomerata). Desirable on account of 

 its quick growth and valuable aftermath. It is 

 ready for grazing in spring two weeks sooner than most grasses, and 

 when fed off is again ready for grazing in a week, and will continue 

 green when other grasses are withered by dry weather. It does better if 

 sown with clover, and as it ripens at the same time, the mixed hay is of 

 the best quality. If sown alone, about 28 pounds are required per acre ; 

 if sown vrith clover, half that quantity. Perennial and will last for years. 



Dwarf Essex Rape " '« ^? r'i""''^''?^^"^ V!°^l \^f"iZ 



"^ blance in leaf and stalk to Kale, but both 

 leaves and stalks are more numerous in the Rape plant, and of a taller 

 habit of growth. It is a pasture plant which may be eaten off by any 

 kind of live stock. But is pre-eminently fitted to furnish pasture for 

 sheep, cattle and swine. Under favorable conditions Rape is ready for 

 pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks from the time of sowing. 



Tennessee Cultivated Golden Millet P'« y^"^*y '« ^"7 



t e ns i V e I y used 

 as it is more nutritious in value for feeding. It is sown at the same time 

 and at the same rate per acre as the common Millet. Growers once using 

 the Tennessee Oiltivated Millet will never plant any other kind. Grows 

 more vigorous ; gives a much larger yield of hay. 



Burt or 90-DaV Oats '^*'* earliest, most prolific and surest 

 "^ cropping: of Spring Oats ; far superior 



to an ordinary Spring or rust-proof Oats for Spring seeding. 



Virginia Gray Winter or Turf Oats 



When sown early, 

 before the middle 



of March, these Oats will far outyield the ordinary Spring Oats, making 



a larger crop and heavier grain. 



Timothy (Phleum pratense). The most valuable of all grasses 

 ■' for hay. Sow early in the Spring or Fall, at the rate 

 of 12 pounds per acre. With Clover, 10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds 

 Clover. A splendid mixture is 8 pounds Timothy, 6 pounds Clover (either 

 Mammoth Clover or Alsike Clover preferred, as they mature at the same 

 time as Timothy), 6 pounds Fancy Red Top, % bushel Meadow Fescue. 

 Together these will produce most excellent hay, also nutritious and 

 abundant pasture in good loamy clay or low ground soils.
