Crimson Clover 



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. 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. Red Top or Herd's Grass and Meadow 

 Fescue mature at the same time as Timothy, and 

 are excellent grasses to sow with it, both for hay 

 and pasturage. 



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. 



PACEY PERENNIAL RYE GRASS.— Used very 

 largely in Europe for both hay and pasture, and 

 well adapted to this section also for both. It is a 

 strong grower, starting early in the spring, and can 

 be used to great advantage in mixtures. When 

 sown alone use two or three bushels per acre or 

 eight to ten pounds in mixture. 



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 Millet 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. If the seed is allowed to form, 

 the stalks get hard, and it does not make nearly 

 as good quality hay, and at the same time it is 

 more exhaustive to the land. 



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 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.
