Orchard Grass 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass Evergrreen Grass 
This grass seems to make more leafage and grazing, a larger 
yield of hay and to keep green longer, both during the winter and 
summer,, than most grasses. It withstands the heat, drought and 
cold; starts early in the spring and continues to give good grazing 
until late in the fall. It can be cut twice a season, frequently pro¬ 
ducing nearly double as much hay as timothy. Its nutritive quali¬ 
ties are first class; ripens at the same time as orchard grass and 
red clover. It is best adapted for good loamy uplands, and better 
than most other grasses on light and sandy soils. Sown with or¬ 
chard grass and red clover, sow 12 lbs. tall meadow oat grass, 15 
lbs. orchard grass, and 8 lbs. red clover. The addition of 6 or 7 lbs. 
of red top or herd’s grass to this mixture increases the aftermath 
and the yield of grazing. AVhen sown by itself, sow 25 to 30 lbs. to 
the acre, either in the spring or fall. Cut for hay at blooming time.

Creeping Bent Grasses 
Seaside Bent (Agrostis Maritima) —A strong creeper that 
makes a fine turf. It is adapted to heavy soils 
that are free of lime, and will stand almost any amount of mois¬ 
ture. It spreads rapidly by runners which strike root at the 
joints. It makes a most excellent lawn and an unusually fine 
golf green of fine texture and beautiful dark green color. 
By mail postpaid, lb. $1.05; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 lbs. $9.35; 25 lbs. 
$22.40; 50 lbs. $44.65.

lb.; 100 lbs. and over 85c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Astoria Bent (Commonly called Colonial Bent) —Its creeping 
habit is not as strong as Seaside Bent, but it is 
better adapted to light soils. It makes a beautiful turf for lawns 
and golf greens. By mail postpaid, lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25; 10 lbs. 
$8.35; 25 lbs. $19.90; 50 lbs. $39.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 85c; 5 to 24 lbs. 80c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 77c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 75c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Orchard Grass 
A very vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and 
nutritious hay, as well as having special value as a pasture grass, 
furnishing good grazing from early spring till winter. It responds 
quickly after cutting or grazing, for in a few weeks of seasonable 
weather it is ready for grazing again. It is particularly adapted 
for pastures, and has the further advantage of growing well in 
shade, giving excellent results when sown in orchards and shaded 
parks. It adapts itself to a variety of soils, provided they are well 
drained, but succeeds best on loamy uplands or moderately stiff 
soils, although it does quite well on soils that are inclined to be 
sandy. It is a deep-rooted perennial grass,, but does not form a 
true sod, as it grows in tufts, so it is recommended that other 
grasses be sown with it. A mixture of 15 lbs. of orchard grass, 12 
lbs. of tall meadow oat grass and 8 lbs. of red clover has proved 
very satisfactory; is recommended for hay and pasture. Red-Top 
or herd’s grass, Kentucky blue, meadow fescue, perennial and 
Italian rye grasses and alsike clover, may be added to make a per¬ 
manent pasture. When sown alone, sow 30 to 35 lbs. to the acre.

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass 
Excellent for both Hay and Pasture 
A hardy perennial grass that should be included in every hay 
and pasture mixture. It is very valuable for pasture as it comes 
on early in the spring and also remains late into the fall and win¬ 
ter. For wet soils, few grasses are equal to Meadow Fescue, mak¬ 
ing a fine hay crop that cattle thrive on, whether fed green or dry. 
Stands close grazing and makes more and thicker foliage than even 
Orchard grass or Tail Meadow Oat grass. A good mixture when 
sown for hay is 7 lbs. meadow fescue, 6 lbs. herd’s grass, 8 lbs. 
timothy and 5 lbs. sapling clover. For a permanent pasture we 
recommend 10 lbs. meadow fescue, 8 lbs. orchard grass, 8 lbs. tall 
meadow oat grass, 6 lbs. Kentucky blue, and 5 lbs. red clover. When 
sown alone, sow 30 lbs. to the acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 
80c; 10 lbs. $1.45; 25 lbs. $3.05; 50 lbs. $5.90. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c: 5 to 24 lbs. lie per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 9V&c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 9c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Ital ian Rye Grass 
—Yields three or four cuttings a 
year of most nutritious hay; a very 
valuable grass, particularly adapt¬ 
ed for rich loamy soils or low grounds; does better in damp situa¬ 
tions than most grasses. Frequently used as a lawn grass in the 
South, giving a quick covering to the lawn. Sow 30 to 35 lbs. 
to the acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 80c; 10 lbs. $1.45; 
25 lbs. $3.05; 50 lbs. $5.90.
