We sell only the highest grade of Grass Seed produced; of most Grass Seeds here offered there are various grades on the market — as many 

 as five grades of some varieties. The weight of the best grades of Grass Seed is in some cases double the weight of lower grades of seed, con- 

 sequently there is a corresponding difference in value and cost. We shall be pleased to submit samples. 



Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis). The well-known standard 

 American pasture grass. It thrives anywhere, although it displays 

 a distinct preference for soils containing lots of lime. Where per- 

 mitted to develop naturally, it grows from 10 to 15 inches high and 

 lasts for years. Our seed is of fancy quality, heavy and free from 

 chaff. Sow (if alone) 40 pounds to the acre. Lb. 60 cts., 5 lbs. $2.75, 

 10 lbs. $5.25, 25 lbs. $12.00, 100 lbs. $43.00.

 in blossom. Generally used with other grasses but may be sown 

 alone where a very quick stand is desired. Sow (if alone) 50 to 60 

 pounds to the acre. Lb. 25 cts., 5 lbs. $1.05, 10 lbs. $2.00,

 25 lbs. $5.60, 100 lbs. $20.00.

 kind of usage, and it is one of the few grasses that will thrive on 

 damp, sour land. Pure hulled seed. Lb. 65 cts., 5 lbs. $3.10, 

 10 lbs. $6.00, 25 lbs. $13.85, 100 lbs. $50.00.
