GENERAL LIST OF GRASS SEEDS—Continued 
CRESTED DOGSTAIL - Cynosurus cristatus 
Very much esteemed for lawns and mixtures in 
many of the Northern States, producing' a quick 
growth of short grass, which is, however, of little for¬ 
age value and has many stems. 
BERMUDA GRASS - Capriola dactylon 
A valuable grass for the South and for tropical 
climates; will not endure frost. Sow 5 to 8 lbs. per 
acre. 
ASTORIA BENT - Agrostis tenuis 
Same variety as Rhode Island and Colonial Bent. 
An excellent all around bent for lawns, greens, 
parks and playing fields; grows on wide range of 
soils; spreads mainly by underground root stalks or 
rhizomes, making a deep reinforced sod. It seldom 
produces many stolons or surface runners, thus less¬ 
ening the amount of top-dressing and watering. From 
60 to 100 lbs. of seed should be used per acre. 
MIXED GERMAN BENT 
As the name implies it is composed of a mixture of 
different varieties of bents. It is a general purpose 
grass for greens, lawns and fairways. 
SEASIDE OR COOS COUNTY BENT GRASS 
(Agrostis maritima) 
A superlative bent for putting greens and lawns, 
ranked high by U. S. Golf Assoc, for putting surface, 
producing a luxuriant matted growth. It is one of the 
most vigorous stoloniferous creepers although this 
characteristic does not usually show up till the sec¬ 
ond year, after which it makes a fine turf of uniform 
color and texture. Sow about five pounds to 1,000 
square feet.

Prices are so changeable they cannot be given here. Will be glad to quote firm prices on request. 
Bags for Clover Seed, holding 2bus., extra, and must be remitted for on all orders. 
JAPAN AND KOREAN CLOVERS 
(Lespedeza) 
The acreage sown to these Clovers is rapidly in¬ 
creasing each year; they are becoming very valuable 
as forage crops, used extensively for hay; also very 
popular for grazing. Lespedeza is an annual, but once 
planted reseeds itself satisfactorily if given a short 
period of rest. Being leguminous plants, they are 
very profitable as soil builders, especially when inocu¬ 
lated, growing on almost any character of soil; thriv¬ 
ing well on sour land. 
Seed can be sown during the early spring, or as 
late as May 15th, broadcast at the rate of 25 pounds 
per acre; being customarily sown on old pastures 
where plowing is not necessary, producing good yields 
under ordinary conditions. Also, excellent to sow with 
other grasses, affording ample grazing through the 
hot summer months. Quantity of seed sown per acre 
should be reduced according to stand of grass. 
The Korean matures earlier and produces more hay, 
but it is somewhat coarser than the Japan Clover hay. 
It is a larger plant and grows more erect. 
RED CLOVER - Trifolium pratense 
Too well known to need extended description. Can 
be sown either in the spring or fall and requires 8 to 
12 lbs. per acre alone or 5 to 6 lbs. per acre if in mix¬ 
ture with grasses. 
MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER 
Similar to Red Clover but of larger growth and 
blooms 3 weeks later, hence more valuable for sowing 
with Timothy. It also forms better aftermath than 
Red Clover. Requires same quantity of seed as Red 
Clover per acre. Current prices on request.
