Festuca Duriuseula 
(.Hard Fescue Grass). 
Per lb. 6d. to 8d. 
Perennial, i| ft. to 2 ft. Flowers June to July. A vigorous form of 
Sheep’s Fescue, larger in the leaf and much more productive. It thrives 
remarkably well on all classes of soil except such as are sour and badly 
drained, endures shade, and resists extreme drought. For most per- 
manent pastures it is invaluable, forming a fine dense “ bottom ” readily 
eaten by all kinds of stock. It is also an excellent grass for parks, lawns, 
and game preserves. 
Festuca Elatior 
{Tall Fescue Grass). 
Per lb., Is. Id. 
Perennial, 3 ft. to 4 ft. Flowers June to July. A very early and 
highly productive “ top grass,” much appreciated by stock both in the 
green and the dry state ; especially valuable for rich moist low-lying 
medium and strong loams, for strong tenacious clays, and for damp shady 
woods. 
Festuca Ovina 
{Sheep's Fescue Grass). 
Per lb., 6d. to 8d. 
Perennial, 1 ft. Flowers in June. Thrives on all classes of soil ex- 
cept such as are very wet and sour. Can successfully withstand extremes 
of temperature and the severest drought, and is therefore indispensable 
for dry pastures and sand land generally, especially where the soil is poor, 
shallow, and liable to be “ baked ” in summer. Is also very useful for 
elevated mountain pastures. Should be sown mixed with other seeds to 
obtain a complete sward. 
Festuca Ovina Tenuifolia 
{Fine-leaved Fescue Grass). 
Per lb., Is. 6d. to ts. 9d. 
Perennial, 1 ft. to 1^ ft. Flowers in June. Is a low-growing, fine 
hair-like dark green grass, useful for dry shady places and for lawns. 
Not of so much agricultural value as the type. 
John Coppock, Esq., Henbury, Macclesfield, writes : — 
“ The Seeds I had from you last year have done very well 
indeed, I do not remember ever having a more healthy 
looking lot.”
