PASTURE GRASSES 
Kentucky Blue 
America’s best known cultivated pasture grass. Grows anywhere 
in the eastern and northern states. Kentucky Blue is one of our 
hardiest perennial grasses. It spreads rapidly by means of its 
running rootlets and it does especially well in limestone soils. It 
is a low growing grass compared to some others. It rarely exceeds 
two feet. It is a slow grower. Sow other varieties with Kentucky 
Blue if you want a pasture plot quickly. Sow about 40 pounds 
per acre. Fourteen pounds equal one bushel. 
Red Top 
The grass that grows under almost all conditions—will grow on 
wet land. Thrives on sour soils. Resists drought. Is a fast and 
vigorous grower. Sow in spring or fall. Plant Red Top and it 
will soon spread and supplant other grasses. In certain sections 
of New England, Red Top is the principal Hay plant sown. Good 
for pasture mixtures, being a fast, sure, steady grower. Sow 10 
to 12 pounds per acre. Hoffman’s Red Top comes 32 pounds 
to the bushel. 
Meadow Fescue 
Often called English Blue. It is not like the Kentucky Blue, 
however. Grows anywhere but does better on low, damp locations. 
Comes early—lasts through the season. Stands dry or freezing 
weather. A hardy grass that grows 2 to 3 feet high. One of the 
best permanent Meadow Grasses. Sow 40 pounds per acre. Comes 
24 pounds per bushel. 
Canada Blue Grass 
Similar to Kentucky Blue. A shorter, more wiry, coarser and 
faster growing grass. Will grow where Kentucky will not. Sow 
this on your mountainous country and rocky soil. Makes some¬ 
what less feed per acre. 
Orchard Grass 
Hardy, tall, leafy, nourishing grass for Hay or Pasture. Grows 
well anywhere—on any soil. Stands drought. One of the earliest 
spring grasses—lasts well into the fall. Cut Hay when in bloom— 
otherwise it gets too woody. Stands close cropping. Grows in tufts 
or bunches. Lasts for years. Sow 30 pounds per acre. Comes 
14 pounds to the bushel. 
English Rye Grass 
Sometimes called Perennial Rye. For good, quick, rich grazing. 
Can be cropped close. Grows on any soil—not too wet. Relished 
by all live stock. Sow spring or fall—40 to 50 pounds per acre. 
Comes 24 pounds to the bushel.
