Poa compress*. {Canada Blue Grass.) Differs from the Kentucky variety in its flattened, 



wiry steins. Because of its creeping root-stalks, it forms a fine 

 turf ; recommended in all pasture mixtures on dry soils, and 



thrives well on clay or hard trodden and poor soil fo 25 



Poa nemoralis. ( Wood Meadow Grass.) The early growth of this 

 grass in the spring, and its remarkably fine succulent and nutri- 

 tive herbage, recommend it strongly for pastures. Thrives well 

 under close feeding, and is very valuable. 30 lbs. to the acre . . 40 

 Poa pratensis. [Kentucky Blue Grass.) Also known as Green 

 Grass, June Grass, etc., andthriveson a variety of soils, but does 

 best in dry and somewhat shady locations. It requires several 

 years to become well established in the ground as a pasture grass. 

 Very valuable for the southern states, as it will stand the hottest 

 summers. Two bushels to the acre. It is also a most valuable 

 grass for the lawn, for which purpose from three to four bushels 

 of clean seed to the acre should be sown. (14 lbs. to bus.)

Poa trivialis. {Rough-stalked Meadow Grass.) The superior 

 product of this grass over many other species, its highly nutritive 

 qualities, and the marked partiality which oxen, horses and sheep 

 have for it, are merits which distinguish it as one of the most val- 

 uable of those grasses which affect moist, rich soils and sheltered 

 situations. It is a great favorite when used under its proper con- 

 ditions. 20 lbs. to the acre 35
