Alopecurus pratensis. {Meadow Fox-tail Grass.) One of the very best grasses for per- 

 manent pasture, and thrives to perfection 

 on lands of an intermediate quality as to 

 moisture and dryness. It also stands 

 the high summer heat without burning. 



25 lbs. to acre $0 30 



Ammophila arenaria. {Beach Grass.) 



See Calamagrostis aretiaria. 

 Anthoxanthum odoratum. {True Per- 

 ennial Sweet Vernal Grass.) For a mix- 

 ture with pasture grasses, it is valuable on 

 account of its vernal growth, and also for 

 continuing to throw up root foliage until 

 late in the autumn. For meadows its chief 

 merit is its fragrant odor, which the leaves 

 emit when partially dried, thus sweet- 

 ening hay. It is a vegetable condiment, 

 rather than a grass of much nutritive 

 value. From 2 to 5 lbs. to the acre when 



mixed with other sorts 45 



Anthoxanthum odoratum puelli. {An- 

 nual Sweet Vernal Grass.) Much smaller 

 than the perennial, and of much less value, 

 lasting one year only. 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 20 

 Avena elatior. {Tall Meadow Oat Grass.) 

 Most valuable for pastures on account of its 

 early and luxuriant growth ; it produces 

 an abundant supply of foliage, which is relished by cattle early and late. 50 lbs. to the 



acre. (13 lbs. to bushel) 



Avena flavescens. ( Yellow Oat Grass.) Will not thrive well when sown alone, but with other 

 species it becomes desirable for dry meadows and pastures. About 25 lbs. to the acre . . . 

 Beach Grass. See Calamagrostis arenaria. 



Bermuda Grass. {Cynodon dactylon.) Suitable only to our southern states (where it is very 

 valuable) or the tropics ; will not endure frost. On application, we will give further infor- 

 mation and quotations for larger quantities ; to save time, please state the number of pounds 

 required. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre

Bromus inermis. {Awnless Brome Grass.) A valuable forage plant for light, dry soils ; 

 answers for cutting and feeding in green state, for pasture or hay ; very productive. About 

 35 to 40 lbs. to the acre 25 18 00 



Bromus mollis. {Soft Chess.) Suited to sandy land, where it is more at home than many 



grasses of better quality 20 13 00 



Bromus pratensis. {Meadow Brome Grass.) Suitable in mixture for high and dry meadows. 



30 lbs. to the acre 25 20 00 



Bromus Schraderi. {Rescue Grass.) Thrives in any soil, but prefers that which is wet or 

 moist. In England four or five green crops are cut in a year, and every time it is cut another 

 crop shoots from the roots. All kinds of stock eat it freely. 30 lbs. to the acre 30 25 00 



Bromus unioloides. See Bromus Schraderi. 



Calamagrostis arenaria. {Beach Grass.) Valuable on the sandy seashore, canal and rail- 

 road banks, etc. It serves, with its tough, 

 wide-spreading and thickly matting roots, 

 to form natural and permanent embank- 

 ments, preventing the drifting of the sand p er 

 and protecting from wind and waves. It lb. 

 is of no agricultural value So 45 



Ceratochloa unioloides. See Bromus 

 Sc hraderi. 



Cynosurus cristatus. {Crested Dog' s- Tail 

 Grass.) A valuable grass for sheep pas- 

 tures, on dry, hard soil and hills. It be- 

 longs to the family of lawn grasses. 25 lbs. 

 to the acre 



90 80 00 



Dactylis glomerata. {Orchard Grass.) 

 Less exhausting to the soil than Timothy, 

 and will endure considerable shade. It 

 blossoms about the same time as Red 

 Clover, making it on that account a desir- 

 able mixture with that plant ; it is exceed- 

 ingly palatable to stock of all kinds, and 

 its power of enduring the cropping of 

 cattle commend it as one of the very best 

 pasture grasses. 3 bus. to the acre. (14 lbs. 

 to bus.) 25
