(Phleum Pratense). As a crop of hay Timothy is probably unsurpassed 
by any other kind of grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, 
especially horses; yields more nutritious matter than any other forage 
plant or grass. Being an early grass it is well adapted to spring and 
summer grazing, too. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre. It is commonly 
sown with Red Clover at the rate of ten pounds of Timothy and eight 
pounds of Clover to the acre. Lb., 15c. 
Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass 
(Festuca Pratensis). Especially adapted for permanent pasture. Grows 
2 to 3 feet high, but not in tufts like orchard grass. Earliest and most 
nutritious of grasses. Makes good hay; cattle thrive on it whether in 
dry or green state. Succeeds even on poor soils, and as the roots pene- 
trate deeply from 12 to 15 inches, it takes extremely dry weather to 
affect it. Will stand more freezing than any other variety, and yields an 
abundant crop of seed. Heretofore has been sown to but a limited extent, 
but the area is rapidly increasing. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Lb., 20c.

Timothy. Red Top Grass 
This is especially valuable for sowing on sour or acid soils, swampy 
or meadow lands liable to overflow, and also on soils that are not rich 
enough for Timothy and other grasses or clovers. Mixed with Alsike 
Clover it makes a fine crop of hay or excellent pasture. Red Top makes 
a very dense sod that will stand trampling and will continue to grow for 
- a longer time during the year than almost any other grass. On good soil it 
will grow two feet high, but it should be fed close, as when it grows up to 
seed cattle do not like it. On land that is too wet for other crops sow ten 
pounds of Red Top and four pounds- of Alsike Clover to the acre. Fourteen pounds 
of solid seed should be sown per acre and it may be sown either in the spring or 
in the fall and with or without some small grain as a nurse crop. To make the 
best quality of hay it should be cut when in full flower. It is more easily cured 
than any other grass. Lb., 30c. 
GRASS SEED MIXTURE FOR PASTURES 
As we are often asked for information as to making up mixtures for pasture, 
we give below some mixtures as suggested by competent authorities. No doubt 
one of these will be suited to your climate and soil conditions.
