of superior quality and relished by all stock. Cut with 
a mower just after full bloom. Plant late in spring, 
after frost is past. If drilled in 36-inch rows, you will

germinating power. Timothy is the great standard hay 
grass of the Eastern part of the country. It makes hay

soil than any other grass. Not adapted for pasture 
as there is little growth after cutting, and tramping of 
stock soon destroys it. Not a lawn grass and not 
adapted to dry soils; height, two to three feet. Often 
sown with red top and red clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs.
