GRASSES 
TIMOTHY—Very nutritious, and salable for hay, but not recom¬ 
mended for pasture, as it is injured by close cutting or grazing. Thrives 
best on heavy moist soils; should not be sown on light dry land. Good 
crops of hay are obtained if mixed with Red Top or Herd’s Grass and 
Sapling Clover, or some grass maturing at the same time. Sow 15 lbs. 
to the acre. Prices fluctuate; quotations on request. 
HERD’S GRASS, or RED TOP—This excellent pasture and hay 
grass does well on any soil, but, perhaps, thrives best on moist, heavy 
■oils. It spreads and thickens from year to year, and will gradually 
supplant other grasses. Matures at the same time as Timothy, with 
which it makes a good mixture. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre. Prices 
fluctuate; quotations on request. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS—Larger and stronger than Perennial Rye 
Grass; has large, broad, glossy green blades. Thrives best on moist, 
fertile soils, furnishing 2 to 3 cuttings a year. Sow about 35 lbs. to 
the acre. Prices fluctuate; quotations on request. 
BERMUDA GRASS—A valuable grass for permanent sod, and 
especially recommended for dams and terraces, as it has long, tough 
roots and of a inatty growth; prevents land washing; would not advise 
sowing on land which is to be planted in other crops, as it is very tena¬ 
cious in habit and very hard to eradicate after it once gets a hold; 
for this reason is used estensively on golf links. It is very similar to 
our Virginia Wire Grass. Sow in March or April. August and Septem¬ 
ber abour 10 lbs. to the acre, in well prepared soil. Prices fluctuate; 
quotations on request. 
Timothy. 
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of the most reliable grasses for 
hay or pasture grown in this section, making a quick, vigorous and 
continuous growth from early spring to winter. Sow 25 lbs. to the 
acre in the spring or fall, and in any soil^ loamy upland is best. It is 
excellent to mix with other grasses. Prices fluctuate; quotations on 
request. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS—A most valuable grass for the 
South, as it stands heat and drought well and flourishes on dry, light 
soils. Splendid for pastures and for hay; it may be cut twice in a sea¬ 
son. Sow 25 lbs.to the acre. Prices fluctuate; quotations on request. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—This grass succeeds best on lime 
stone soils, but does well on uny stiff soil. Stands cold, but does not 
do well in extreme heat. Grows slowly at first, making a thick, com¬ 
pact turf. Used for lawns or pastures. Sow either in the fall or spring. 
30 lbs. to 35 lbs. to the acre. Prices fluctuate; quotations on request. 
MEADOW FESCUE.—Remains green all winter, making fine, 
nutritious pasture, and also yields well as a hay crop. Largely used for 
grazing. Sow about 30 lbs. to the acre. Prices fluctuate; quotations 
on request. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—Good for hay and pastures, if sown 
on strong, moist soil, but does not stand drought well. It grows rapidly 
and matures very early and lasts several year*. Sow 30 lbs. to acre. 
Prices fluctuate; quotations on request. 
SUDAN GRASS 
This is an annual grass and if seeded in May can be cut twice and 
with favorable seasons three times a year, but it can be seeded as late 
us July and will make one cutting. 
Grows 6 to 10 feet high, when drilled; 
or if seeded broadcast. 3 to 5 leet. In 
appearance, it is similar to the 
Johnson Grass, but docs not root as 
deeply—as it is an annual it is killed 
out through the winter, and can 
never become a pest, as has Johnson 
Grass in some sections of the South- 
It is, however, a great drought re¬ 
sisting Grass, and is easily cured, 
making a good hay crop, and all 
stock relish and thrive on it. This 
Grass should not be sown until the 
ground becomes thoroughly warm, 
about the first oi May. Farmers in 
the South, who have grown this 
Grass, are very enthusiastic about it. 
It has become a popular hay crop. 
Sow 5 lbs. to the acre in drills 2 
feet apart; or if broadcast, 20 to 
25 lbs. to the acre. Prices fluctuate; 
quotations on request.
