Bermuda, or Couch Grass (Cynodon dactylon.) 
—This grass, the "Doob” grass of India, is 
one of the most valuable for hot countries, 
suitable either for lawn or pasture, and valu¬ 
able for fixing loose soils. For eight months 
in the year it is beautifully green; in cold 
weather it turns brown. The seed will not 
germinate in cold w r eather. April, May and 
September are the best months in which to 
sow. Sow 10 lbs to the acre. Per lb. $1.00. 
crested Dog’s-Tail Grass (Cynosurus crista- 
tus.)—A valuable grass for sheep pastures, on 
dry, hard soils and hills. It is also useful for 
lawns. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre. Per lb. 
50c. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium Italicum.)—A val¬ 
uable annual variety, thriving well in any 
soil, and yielding early and abundant crops. 
Especially valuable for pasture in Southern 
California. Although strictly speaking it is an 
annual, if cut before going to seed, it may be 
considered perennial in this climate. Claimed 
to stand any amount of forcing by irrigation. 
Sow 30 lbs. to the acre. Per lb. 15c; 100 
lbs. $9.00. 
Kentucky Blue, or Smooth Meadow Grass 
(Poa pratensis.)— Principally used for lawns, 
also valuable for pasture. For lawns sow 150 
lbs. per acre; for pasture 50 lbs. per acre is 
sufficient. We offer none but fancy cleaned 
seed. Per lb. 25c; 5 lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs. 
price on application. 
Perennial Rye Grass. 
Orchard Grass, or Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata.)—A valuable grass, all kinds of stock being greed¬ 
ily fond of it. Will bear cropping very well. When established will withstand both floods and 
drouth. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre. Per lb. 25c; 100 lbs. at market price. 
Perennial, or Australian Rye Grass (Lolium perenne. See cut.) The merits of this grass are be¬ 
coming more recognized every year. It adapts itself to almost any soil, germinates freely, and seeds 
abundantly. Of upright habit, bearing abundance of nutritious foliage, it is much relished by stock, 
and its roots being fibrous and penetrating, give it a permanency not possessed by many otherjspecies. 
Sow 40 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 15c; 100 lbs. $9.00. 
Red Top (Agrostis vulgaris.)—A valuable permanent grass in mixture for either pastures oi lawns, 
standing heat well and growing in almost any soil. Ripens later than almost any other grass. Sow 30 
lbs. to the acre. Fancy cleaned seed per lb. 20c; 100 lbs. $15,00. 
Timothy, or Herd’s Grass (Phleum pratense.)—This grass thrives best on moist soil, or rich wheat¬ 
bearing alluvial lands. Should be cut when seeds are ripe, as the nutritive value of the hay will be 
twice as great as when cut in flower. On account of it first yielding an abundant hay crop and then a 
nutritious aftermath, it is particularly valuable as pasture grass. Sow 20 lbs. to the acre. Per lb. 
10c-; 100 lbs. $8.00.
