ORCHARD--(Dactylis glomerata)— 35 to 45 inches high, growing large tufts and deep roots forming grass with an abund- 
ance of rather broad leaves and of great agiicultural and nutriti^•e value. Valuable for hay or pasture, on account of its 
arge yield and ripening at same time as clover. It is best to sow it alone for hay, and a special advantage it has ia that 
It IS ready for cutting a fortnight or three weeks earlier than Timothy. It is not suitable for marshy tracts of land, 
but grows well on any other, and under the shade of trees. For hay it should be cut on the green side. No other grass 
alter being mown or eaten off, grows so quickly again. It is entirely misuited foi Lawns on account of its broad leaves 
and coarse, tufty habit. Per lb. 25c. '0 lbs. at 20c. (Contd over)
