Fine-leaved Fescue ( Festuca tenuitolia). Exceedingly 
valuable for upland sheep pastures, lawns, tennis grounds, &c. 1 6 
Red Fescue ( Festuca rubra). A useful variety for growing 
on light soils, embankments, &c. ... ... Is. to 1 2 
Cocksfoot ( Dactylis glomerata). This produces a large quantity 
of bulky foliage, of which sheep are remarkably fond ; but it 
requires to be grazed early in Spring, being coarse and tufty 
when allowed to seed ... ... ... ... Is. to 1 2 
Timothy ( Phleum pratense). One of the best for growing 
on strong soils and reclaimed moorlands ... ... 7d. to 0 8 
Wood Meadow (Poa nemoralis). This produces a fine, 
close turf, and grows abundantly in shady places and under 
trees ; it also does well in exposed places, is valuable for 
permanent pastures and lawn mixtures ... .. ...3 0 
Smooth-Stalked Meadow (Poa pratensis). Comes very 
early into use, and is found on very dry soils ; when grown for 
hay, it should be cut when in flower ... Is. 2d. to 1 4 
Rough-Stalked Meadow ( Poa trivialis). Is recom- 
mended for sowing on wet soils and lands partially shaded 
by trees, and is suitable for sowing on sewage farms ; it retains 
its dark green colour during the Winter months Is. 6d. to 1 8 
Sea Reed or Sea Sand Grass (Ammnphila arundinacea).

ALL SORTS MUCH CHEAPER BY THE CWT. 
SPECIAL QUOTATIONS FOR LARGE QUANTITIES. 
As Grasses never thrive on ground exhausted by previous crops or 
neglected cultivation, it is of the first importance that, whatever the nature 
of the soil, land intended for laying down to grass should be in good condition 
and as free as possible from weeds. For this reason, the root crop which 
generally precedes grass, should be heavily manured and as early in Autumn 
as convenient, the ground should be deeply ploughed and left rough for the 
Winter. In the Spring, it should be thoroughly scarified, harrowed, and rolled 
to bring the soil into a thoroughly pulverized lovel and firm condition before 
seeding. The best time for sowing is from about the middle of March to the 
third week in April, although good results may sometimes be had by later 
sowings. Alter sowing, roll the ground as firmly as possible, and when the 
young plants are a few inches high, cutover with the scythe and give a good 
rolling. Remove all large weeds and re-sow any bare or weak patches. 
Top-dressings of well-decayed manure in Winter are very beneficial, and will 
always pay for the outlay in the larger yield. 
We carefully test the growth of all Seeds before sending- out.
