GRASSES 
AWNLESS BROME GRASS (Bromus Iner- 
mis). Will stand droughts and produce heavy 
crops in dry sections and on poor soils where 
other grasses perish. It is one of the handiest 
grasses and succeeds on our dry hillsides. Sow 
35 lbs. per acres. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.20; 100 
lbs., $20.00. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon Dactylon). Is 
a drawf perennial plant and spreads by means 
of its long and many-jointed root stalks, and for 
this reason is hard to eradicate once it has 
secured a foothold; thrives during the hottest 
part of the year, and will live under water for 
a long time. Makes a durable lawn and is also 
used to hold embankments. The seed is very 
slow to germinate and requires heat and mois- 
ture. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 50c; 10 lbs., 
$4.50. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium Italicum). Thrives 
in almost any soil and yields early and abun- 
dant crops. Sown in the fall, will produce an 
excellent hay crop the following season, but 
lasts only one year. Not recommended for 
lawns. Sow 50 lbs, per acre. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
$1.50; 100 lbs., $12.50. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis). 
Fancy or double; extra clean. As this grass 
takes some time to become established it is 
preferably sown in mixtures for pasturage. Is 
truly perennial and prefers lime soil. As a 
lawn grass it is the finest there is — spreading 
habit, even texture, permanent, fine leaf, and 
dark color. For pasture sow 50 lbs. per acre; 
for lawns, 4 or 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet.

MEADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE 
GRASS (Festuca Praetensis). A valuable 
grass for permanent pastures, and for meadows 
for cutting which are rather damp. Makes a 
quick second growth, but does not do well on 
dry soils. Often sown in mixtures. Sow 30 
lbs. per acre. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., 
$ 20 . 00 . 
ORCHARD GRASS, OR COCKSFOOT (Dac- 
tylis Glomerata). One of the most valuable of 
all pasture grasses; produces an immense 
quantity of forage, and hay of best quality. 
After being sown, comes up quickly and yields 
very heavily. Suitable for pasture under trees.

(Lolium Perenne). It grows rapidly and makes 
a good showing within a month from time of 
sowing; grows very rapidly. The great pasture 
and meadow grass of Great Britian. Valuable 
for planting early on dry hillsides, as it grows 
so very quickly* A good lawn grass, but a little 
coarse. Sow 60 lbs. per acre. Lb., 15c; 10 lbs., 
$1.50; 100 lbs., $12.50. 
RED, OR CREEPING FESCUE (Festuca 
Rubra). Forms a close, rich sod and is valu- 
able in lawns, and should be in shade mixtures.

■ excellent bottom grass for moist mixture. Sow 
30 lbs. per acre. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.75; 100 
lbs., $35.00. 
RED TOP (Agrostis Vulgaris). Herd’s grass. 
Second only to Timothy as hay grass, and bet- 
ter if the ground is to be pastured afterward, 
for Red Top makes one of the best permanent 
pastures. Succeeds on all soils, though doing 
best on moist and even swampy land. A per- 
manent grass and valuable as a lawn grass, 
giving quick effect. Sow t 40 lbs. per acre. In 
Chaff, lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.75. 100 lbs., $15.00.

SHEEP’S FESCUE (Festuca Ovina). Short 
and dense in growth, excellent for sheep pas- 
tures, because it will thrive on poor, gravelly, 
shallow or hilly soils where other grasses fail. 
Not recommended for lawns under ordinary 
conditions, because it bunches. Sow 35 lbs. per 
acre. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.75; 100 lbs. $25.00.

grass. Sow 50 lbs. per acre. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., 
$2.20; 100 lbs., $20.00. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense). The grade 
we offer is particularly “choice,” free from 
weed seeds and of high germinating power. 
Timothy is the great standard hay grass of the 
Eastern part of the country. It makes hay of 
the best quality and produces a larger crop on 
good soil than any other grass. Not adapted 
for pasture, as there is little growth after cut- 
ting and tramping of stock soon destroys it. 
Not a lawn grass and not adapted for dry soils; 
height, 2 or 3 feet. Often sown with red top 
and red clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. Price fluctu- 
ates. Lb., 10c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $9.00. 
WOOD MEADOW GRASS (Poa Nemoralis).

where other grasses will not grow. Valuable 
for pasture, but expensive. As a lawn grass 
its creeping roots soon form a good turf. Sov*
