GRASS SEED (Continued) 
Kentucky Blue, Fancy, Clean (Poa pratensis.) Our seed is direct 
from Kentucky and is absolutely pure and free from weeds.... 
Mesquite, (Holcus lanatus). Will grow on poor peaty soils or dry 
sandy soil. Known also as “Velvet grass”.• •• 
Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata). Root fibrous; perennial: 
flowers in June and July. This is one of the most valuable and 
widely known of all the pasture grasses. Its rapidity of growth, 
the luxuriance of its aftermath, and its power of enduring the 
cropping of cattle, all commend it highly to farmers. Thrives 
well on light soils, and as its roots penetrate to a considerable 
depth, where the subsoil is favorable, it withstands droughts 
better than most species on dry sandy soils. It is. very val¬ 
uable t * be used in a mixture. 
Red Top (Agrostis vulgaris). Permanent grass for pasture or 
lawn .... 
Rye Grass, Italian (Lolium Italicum). A valuable grass for hay 
and pasture, especially under irrigation. 
Rye Grass, Perennial, or Australian (Lolium perenne). Similar 
to the Italian in habit of growth, but more permanent; good for 
lawns. Yields abundantly under irrigation. 
Sand Grass (Tricuspis purpurea). Grows on dry sandy soils along 
the Coast; from 6 inches to 1 foot high..
