FIELD SEEDS—(Continued) 
TIMOTHY 
As a crop for hay, Timothy is probably unsurpassed by any other grass. 
It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, especially by horses. It yields more 
nutritive matter than any other grass or forage plant. It is well suited for a 
permanent pasture, as it will hold its own for several years before running out. 
Sow 12 to 20 lbs. to the acre.

mon, both in quality and yield. It grows taller, firmer and more leaves than 
common. It grows from 4 to 5 feet high; will yield a heavy crop of hay. Can 
be sown in May to end of July, % to 1 bushel to the acre.

BILLION DOLLAR GRASS

per acre on rich land. This grain when ground and fed to the cows is said 
to increase the milk flow more than oats. It is also very fine for chickens.
