Bolgiano’s ‘“‘Capitol Brand’ Grass and Forage Seeds 
(Poa pratensis). This grass is not only 
Kentucky Blue Grass the best for lawn purposes, but makes 
the sweetest and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. It is 
very hardy ard 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 is 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. 
Be uda Grass mer greens in the south where other grasses 
will not grow. Withstands drought and scorching Summer Sun better 
than any other variety. Has exceptionally long heavy root system. Cov- 
ers bare spaces by long overground runners. Dies down completely in 
winter. Sow it at the rate of 5 to 6 pounds to acre. 
Po Tri iali (Rough Stalked Meadow Grass). Recommended 
3 a vialis for shady places. It is a fine leafed, even turf-— 
forming grass, and used mostly for fine lawns, although it is valuable 
as a bottom grass in pasture mixtures, 
(Agrostis vulgaris). It is a 
Red Top or Herds Grass good, permanent grass, stand- 
ing 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 (Dactylis 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 with clover, half that quantity. Perennial and will last for years. 
Dwarf It is an annual, bearing a close resem- 
Essex Rape 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 This variety is ex. 
a ee tensively 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 Cultivated Millet will never plant any other kind. Grows 
more vigorous; gives a much larger yield of hay. 
Burt or 90-Day Oats The earliest, most prolific and surest 
. cropping of Spring Oats; far superior 
to an ordinary Spring or rust-proof Oats for Spring seeding. 
Especially adapted for golf fairways and sum— 
yon! y 4 When sown early, 
Virginia Gray Winter or Turf Oats = When sown carly. 
of March, these Oats will far outyield the ordinary Spring Oats, making 
a larger crop and heavier grain. 
i (Phleum pratense). The most valuable of all grasses 
Timothy 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.
