Orchard Grass 
(Dactylls glomcrata) 
(Festuca pratensis) 
Meadow Fescue, sometimes called English Blue Grass, is practically well 
adapted to our uplands and mountainous districts, and gives excellent results on 
good loamy or heavy soils all through the Middle States and the South. It is a 
splendid Spring and Summer grass, and makes more and thicker leafage than even 
Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass. 
It is also especially useful for Fall and Winter pasturage, as it remains green 
^ _ , throughout the Winter. It is very popular in eastern Kentucky, southwest Virginia, 
east Tennessee and the mountainous districts of North 
Carolina, where it is very highly appreciated. It suc- 
ceeds well in nearly all sections of the South, and 
should be very largely used in pasture and hay mix- 
tures, being especially suitable for sowing with Red 
Top and Timothy for hay, or with these and Orchard 
and Tall Meadow Oat Grass for permanent pasturage. 
Pacey’s Rye Grass 
(Lolium percnne) 
Orchard Grass is one of the best and most reliable grasses for 
the middle and Southern States, either for hay or pasture. It suc- 
ceeds well on nearly all soils, but it does best on uplands, loamy 
m + °vT er ^, e y soils. It starts early in the Spring and continues well 
into the u inter. It Is of quick growth, bears close grazing, and when young 
is especially relished by stock. It makes excellent hay and gives the very 
best results mixed and grown with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and Red Clover. 
It should be cut when in blossom, as the hay is injured if the seed is allowed 
to ripen. If sown for seed, stock should be removed 60 days before the 
time for cutting. It can be cut. put In shock and threshed in same manner 
as wheat. The yield runs from 6 to 30 bushels to the acre and the pre- 
vailing price for the seed for the past 10 years has been from $1.50 per 
bushel up, depending upon the quality. It can be sown in the Spring or 
Fall, either with grain or alone. Sow two bushels to the acre, If sown alone; 
or with Red Clover, one bushel of Orchard Grass and four pounds of Clover 
are the quantities usually sown. For prices see colored pages. 
Meadow Fescue 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
(Poa pratensis) 
Kentucky Blue Grass is a perennial, having an abundance of 
long, slender leaves; it makes the best, sweetest and most nutri- 
tious pasture for all kinds of stock. The Blue Grass plant does 
not produce long stalks, as do some other grasses, but it is con- 
stantly putting up new blades, which come from the roots 
or base of the plant; hence a pasture well set with Kentucky 
Blue Grass is generally fresh, and will graze a greater number 
of stock to the acre than any other grass. It is on the beautiful 
Blue Grass pasture of Kentucky that the famous high bred 
horses, for which the State is noted, are reared. This grass is 
the first to start in the Spring and remains green practically 
throughout the Winter. The roots are very thick and stout 
and form a tough sod. Blue Grass requires about two years 
to gpt well started, and for that reason it is often sown in 
mixtures with other grasses. It will do well for almost any 
land, excepting sandy soil in the extreme southern States. 
Sow in the Fall at # the rate of 15 to 30 pounds to the ace. 
For prices see colored pages. 
Sow either in Spring or Fall at the rate of 20 to £5 
pounds to the acre, if sown by Itself. When sown 
with Red Top and Timothy, sow 14 pounds Meadow 
Fescue, 5 pounds of Fancy Cleaned Red Top and G 
pounds of Timothy to the acre. Sow for grazing mix- 
ture with Orchard and Tall Meadow Oat Grass, add- 
ing 8 to 10 pounds each of these two grasses. For 
prices see colored pages. 
The most valuable grass of Great Britain, holding 
the same position of importance that Timothy does 
in this country. Very early, and cures into hay that 
is hard, but has a sweet flavor and is relished by cat- 
tle. Mixed with Red Clover, makes a good hay. 
Height, 1 % to 2 feet. Sow 20 to 30 pounds to the 
acre. 
This is simply a variation of the common Perennial 
Rye Grass, but it is much more vigorous. For prices 
see colored pages. 
Perennial Rye Grass 
(IiOlium perenne) 
This is one of the quickest of any of the grasses 
and will furnish a quick-growing, most nutritious and 
leafy pasturage, at the same time making very good 
hay. On account of its quick, early growth, it should 
be a constituent of nearly all hay and pasture mix- 
tures. It is becoming well known in this country as 
a valuable pasture grass, which will bear frequent 
close cropping. It produces an abundance of foliage, 
which remains bright and green during the seasons. 
The hay is much relished by all kinds of stock. It 
will grow well on almost any kind of land, but does 
better on such land as will produce a good corn crop. 
When sown by Itself, sow 30 pounds to the acre, 
either in Spring or Fall. For prices see jolored pages. 
Awnless Brome Grass 
(Bromus inermis) 
This is a valuable grass for light and sandy soils 
and dry localities. It roots deeply and stands 
droughts well. It is growing quicker than most other 
grasses, and Is essentially an 
Spring and late Fall pasture grass, 
hay crop having been removed, it rr 
heavy growth of aftermath well ad; 
for permanent pasture. In the Soul 
States it is generally sown in Octob 
November. Sow IS to 20 pounds t( 
acre and thoroughly harrow. It is 
dally adapted to the Northwe 
States. For prices see colored pag
