Bolgiano's "Capitol Brand" Grass and Forage Seeds 



KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis) 



The best of lawn and pasture grasses for neutral soils. 

 The thick stout roots form a tough sod that will stand hot, 

 cold or dry weather and is uninjured by the trampling of 

 hoofs. Blue Grass requires about two years to get well 

 established and for that reason is often sown in a mixture 

 with other grasses. It does well on almost any land, however, 

 it is best adapted to well drained clay land. Sow in Fall or 

 Spring at the rate of 5 lbs. per 1000 square ft. of lawn; 40 

 lbs, per acre for pasture. 



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 Mam- 

 moth 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. 



RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS (Agrostis vulgaris) 



A valuable permanent, narrow blade grass especially 

 adapted to our climate. Used in most lawn mixtures and 

 makes a good pasture when closely grazed. Grows well in 

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

 Sow in Fall or Spring using 12 lbs. fancy seed per acre or 

 5 lbs. per 1000 ft of lawn. 



DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 



A quick growing grass used as a nurse crop in many 

 lawn mixtures. It is valuable for Winter and Spring grazing; 

 yields three or more cuttings a year of nutritious hay and 

 makes a delightful green lawn in sun or shade all Fall, 

 Winter and Spring. Sow 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn; 30 

 lbs. per acre for pasture. 



PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (Ldium perenne) 



A very valuable variety for permanent pasture. Succeeds 

 well on almost any soil, but is particularly adapted to mod- 

 erately moist or irrigated lands. Sow 30 to 40 pounds per 

 acre in Spring. 



CREEPING BENT GRASS 



Fine for lawns and golf greens. Produces stolons or 

 creeping rxmners lightly above and heavily below the sur- 

 face. Of rapid growth, forming a durable turf. Capable 

 of withstanding dry conditions and close cutting. Sow 5 lbs. 

 per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn. 



CHEWINGS FESCUE 



A creeping variety of the Red Fescue that forms a low, 

 dense mat-like turf of fine needle-like leaves. It is therefore 

 popular for lawns, golf courses and pastures; resists drought 

 and thrives on most soils. Excellent for shady spots and 

 used in most all Shady Lawn Mixtures. If used alone, sow 

 8 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn; 30 lbs. per acre for pasture. 



MEADOW FESCUE 



A perennial, deep-rooted, turfed grass for hay or pas- 

 tures. Makes a thick foliage and stands close grazing. Comes 

 early in Spring and lasts until late Fall. Sow at the rate of 

 25 lbs. per acre. 



POA TRIVIALIS (Rough Stalked Meadow Grass) 



A fine leaved grass highly recommended for shady lawns; 

 adapted to all soils and sections where Blue Grass grows. 

 It spreads by stolons or creeping branches on the surface 

 of the ground. Sow 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. of lawn. 



GOLDEN MILLET 



Makes an enormous yield of hay and is usually in best 

 condition for cutting just as the heads begin to form. One 

 of the easiest grown catch crops when feed is short. It 

 smothers out weeds, leaving the ground in fine condition for 

 Fall crops. Sow from May through July at the rate of 30 

 lbs. per acre. 



BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon dactylon) 



A creeping perennial grass that succeeds on all soils; 

 withstands drought and scorching Summer sun better than 

 any other grass. Covers bare spaces by long, overground 

 runners; dies down completely in winter. Sow 5 lbs. per 

 1000 sq. ft. of lawn; 10 lbs. per acre of pasture. 



SUDAN GRASS 



One of the best hay forage crops, easily cured and is very 

 similar to Timothy in food value. Sow in late Spring at the 

 rate of 20 to 25 pounds to the acre. Should be cut before 

 frost. Can be sown with Soja Beans, 20 pounds Sudan Grass 

 and one bushel Soja Beans to the acre. 



ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata) 



Most desirable for its quick growth and valuable after- 

 math. Two weeks earlier than most grasses and widely used 

 for hay and pastures. Grows in bunches and stays green 

 when other grasses are withered by dry weather. Does well 

 if sown with clovers as it matures about the same time. 

 Extensively used in orchards. A perennial that will last for 

 years. Sow at the rate of 28 lbs. per acre. 



DWARF ESSEX RAPE 



It is, an annual, bearing a close resemblance 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. 



HAIRY VETCH (Vicia villosa) 



It is very hardy; is valuable as a Winter cover crop to 

 prevent leaching, and for forage and fertilizing purposes. 

 Sow 50 to 60 pounds to the acre.
