any, and the more it is cropped the better it seems to thrive.

Ked Top— A valuable grass in alL mixture for lawns, meadow 
or pastures. Will grow in almost any soil, wet or dry. It is a 
hardy perennial, and produces an abundance of fine hay. 
Should not be omitted in seeding land where a close, fine turf 
is wanted. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) Per bushel, $1.00 ; quart, 
prepaid, 20 cents. 
Italian Rye Grass— A grass for all climates and all soils. 
One of the best for meadows in connection with timothy, as it 
makes a strong second crop or aftermath, which the timothy 
often fails to do. In Europe often used for soiling and ensilage, 
(about 18 lbs. to the bushel.)^ Per bushel, $2.00 ; per quart, pre- 
paid, 20 cents. 
Meadow Fescue— Of great value as a mixture of grasses for 
both meadows and pastures. It is taller and ripens somewhat 
later than Blue Grass. It is known in some sections as " Ever- 
green grass." It should be sown with Orchard Grass and Red 
Top for pastures and with Timothy and Italian Rye Grass for 
meadows, (about 15 lbs. to the bushel.) Per bushel, $3.00; 
per quart, prepaid, 25 cents. 
Hough Stalked Meadow Grass — A valuable grass on low, 
moist land, either in meadow or pasture. In damp soils and 
sheltered situations it produces a constant supply of nutritive 
herbage much relished by cattle and horses, (about 14 lbs. to 
the bushel.) Per bushel, $5.00 ; per quart, prepaid, 40 cents. 
German, or Golden Millet— Medium early ; height three to

lbs. to the bushel.) Per bushel, $1,60 ; per lb., prepaid, 20 cts. 
CLOYEK 
"White — Valuable for lawns and should be in every mixture for 
permanent pasture. Per lb., prepaid, 40 cents. 
Medium Ked — The variety of clover generally sown for either 
meadow or pasture and often largely used for green manure. 
Per bushel, market price given on application, per lb., pre- 
paid, 25 cents. 
Mammoth Red, or Pea Vine— A very large, coarse clover, 
much used for plowing under for green manure. The stalk is 
too coarse to make good dry fodder. Per bushel, market price 
given on application ; per lb., prepaid, 25 cents. 
Alsike, or Swedish— This variety of clover is as well adapted 
to low, moist lands as the red is to high, dry lands. It pro- 
duces very heavy crops under favorable circumstances, but is 
not adapted for green manure. The blossoms are very distinct 
and the size of the head is midway between the white and red 
clovers. Per bushel, the market price ; per lb., prepaid, 25 cts. 
Alfalfa or JLucerne — A clover of great value on deep, dry and 
lighi; soils, where its tap root can penetrate to a considerable 
depth. - When well established it produces several heavy cut- 
tings during the season, and the fodder is suitable for all kinds 
of stock for either soiling or hay. It is especially valuable in 
■the warmer climate of the Southern States as its deep rooting 
properties make it comparatively independent of moisture. It 
is somewhat difficult to secure a good stand, but where it will 
succeed it is the most valuable of all the clovers. In this lati- 
tude the seed should be fown in the month of May and should 
be drilled in at the rate of 14 pounds to the acre. 'The object of 
sowing in drills is to cultivate it and keep it free from weeds 
the first year. After that it will take full possession of the soil 
and take care of itself. It should not be cut the first year before 
August and then not closer to the ground than 8 or 10 inches. 
During the second year and afterwards it may be cut in June 
and three or four times during the season. Price per lb., pre- 
paid, 35 cents.
