RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS 
Grows well on all soils, whether sandy, 
thin, dry lands or rich heavy or wet soils; 
it is one of the most satisfactory grasses 
that can be grown; a fine pasture grass 
and also well suited for meadows. 
TIMOTHY 
The best known grass in the United 
States and makes the standard hay of com¬ 
merce. It succeeds best on rich, moist 
soil; satisfactory crops cannot be grown 
on high, dry, sandy soil. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
One of the best grasses for pasture or 
meadow. It is hardy, vigorous grower, and 
succeeds in the shade as well as in the 
sunshine. Especially valuable for sowing 
in orchard or woodland. It grows well on 
all soils except on stiff, heavy clay or wet 
land. 
NEW ERA LAWN MIXTURE 
This is a mixture of the very best grades 
of Kentucky Blue Grass, White Clover, 
Red Top, Rye Grass and Poatrivialis. It 
forms a quick heavy turf and the same 
kind of mixture as used in the beautiful 
Central Park at Norfolk. Be sure and in¬ 
clude a few pounds in your order. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS 
This grass is increasing in favor wher¬ 
ever grown. It is without doubt one of 
our most valuable grasses, either for hay 
or pasture. It makes more grazing than 
Orchard Grass and yields about twice as 
much as Timothy. It may be cut twice in 
a season. 
SUDAN GRASS 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
The most widely known and best of all 
pasture grasses. It starts early in the 
spring and furnishes an immense amount 
of grazing throughout the season. The 
ideal grass to produce a nice velvety lawn. 
A Wonderful Quick Growing 
Summer Hay Grass. 
Sudan Grass is a big yielder. Sudan 
Grass can never become a pest, for Sudan 
Grass is an annual with short fibrous roots 
that are killed by frost. Its greatest value 
is for hay, which is palatable and well 
liked by stock—the entire plant, leaves, 
stems, and heads, is eaten. It should large¬ 
ly supplant millet, which yields only a sin¬ 
gle cutting, whereas Sudan Grass will give 
at least two, and where the growing sea¬ 
son is long, four cuttings a season have 
been had. It stools out wonderfully after 
the first cutting; it is not uncommon to 
find more than a hundred stems growing 
from a single root. Four tons to the acre 
is not an exceptional yield; eight tons have 
been grown where the season allowed four 
cuttings. The quality of the hay is good, 
analysis showing that it is equal to tim¬ 
othy and superior to millet. It is also 
strongly drought resistant
