GRASS SEEDS 
KENTUCKY BLUE QEASS (Poa Pratensis). 
Agriculturally this is well called the King of all 
Pasture Grasses. Wherever this grass does well, 
generally on lime soil, land there at once com¬ 
mands a high price, as it becomes the animal 
breeder’s ideal location. This grass requires some 
time to establish itself. For a coupie of years 
should only be lightly grazed. Time for sowing 
depends on the locality. There are three prin¬ 
cipal limes of sowing, in the Fall, in the early 
Spring and again in June. Sow three bushels 
(14 lbs. to the bu.) per acre. This seed should 
never be covered, but only rolled after sowing, 
as the seed germinates better in the light than 
In the dark. Our seed this year was specially 
•iaved for us by one of the largest Kentucky grow¬ 
ers, is almost free from foreign and chaffy mat¬ 
ter, and our tests show a very high percentage 
of germination. Purchasers should beware of 
cheap Blue Grass, as it Is sure to be light seed 
or else mixed with the cheaper Canadian Blue 
Grass. 
For lawn purposes it is the standard and 
superior to any other sort. Under favorable soils 
It will withstand all variations in weather and 
climate. For lawns sow 50 to 75 lbs. per acre; 
for pasture, 30 lbs. 
RHODE ISLAND BENT (Agrostis Canina). Of 
dwarfer habit, with shorter, narrower leaves than 
Bed Top. It makes a beautiful, close, fine turf 
and is one of the very best grasses for lawns in 
mixture with other sorts. It adapts itself to al¬ 
most any soil, rich and moist, or dry sandy and 
sterile. (14 lbs. to the bushel.) Sow 50 lbs. to 
the acre. Ask for prices. 
CREEPING BENT (Agrostis Stolouifera). The 
distinctive feature of this species is its compact 
creeping rooting stems. It is of rapid growth 
and spreading habit, and the stoloniferous roots 
form a strong enduring turf that is positively 
improved by constant trampling. Being of fine 
texture it is most valuable for lawns, putting 
greens, and terraces. Sow 60 lbs. to the acre. 
BED TOP (Agrostis Vulgaris), a very n&rdy 
native, perennial grass, succeeding best on moist 
land. It accommodates itself to a variety of soils, 
however, even to quite dry situations, and stands 
our hot climate admirably. It is perhaps the most 
permanent grass we have and remains green for 
the greater part of the year. Its long trailing 
stems form a very close matting turf that is not 
affected by trampling. In chaff, per lb., 20c; 10 lb«^ 
$1.75; 100 bs., $15.00. Fancy seed free from 
chaff (sow 25 lbs. to the acre). 
SWEET VERNAL (Antkroxantkum Odoratum). 
Valuable on account of its delicious perfume; 
when included in hay its aroma is imparted to 
other grasses, enhancing the value of the hay and 
making it relished by th estock. Ask for prices. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Avena Elatior) 
This produces an abundant supply of foliage and 
is valuable for pasturage on account of its early 
and luxuriant growth. Sow 40 lbs. to the acre 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon Dactylon). The 
most valuable grass for the southern states, as 
it withstands heat and drouth wonderfully well. 
Is valuable for hay and pasture and unsurpassed 
for lawns in the south, as it runs over the ground, 
forming a dense turf. Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 
CRESTED DOG’S TAIL (Cynosurns Cristatla) 
A stoloniferous perennial, forming a smooth, com 
pact and lasting turf. It thrives best on rich 
moist land, but it can accommodate itself to al¬ 
most any soil. Its roots penetrate deeply into 
the ground, which enables it to stand severe 
droughts. It makes a good bottom grass and D 
therefore valuable in mixtures for lawns and put 
ting greens. It thrives well in the shade.
