GRASS 
SOUTH GERMAN BENT ( Agrostis stolonifera). A superior 
Grass for putting-greens on account of its dwarf growth and 
its narrow leaves. It will grow and make good turf in good or 
bad soils, and dry weather or heavy rains seem to have no 
serious effects. About forty pounds of seed are required for 
an acre. Lb. $1.75, 10 lbs. $16.50, 25 lbs. $40. 
COOS COUNTY BENT or SEASIDE BENT (Agrostis alba 
maritima). A fine-leaved, bright green Grass used principally 
on golf-courses for putting-greens. Its texture is fine and 
uniform, and under good cultural conditions, on soils of 
reasonable fertility, it will form a sod very quickly. It makes 
a very good growth in rather dense shade, and spreads with 
great rapidity, largely by surface-creeping stolons that root 
at the nodes. Lb. $1.60, 10 lbs. $15, 25 lbs. $36.25. 
COLONIAL BENT ( Agrostis capillaris) . A tight, thick turf, 
permanent under close mowing. Good for putting-greens and 
fairway mixtures. Lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $14, 25 lbs. $33.75. 
ASTORIA BENT {Agrostis capillaris; Astoriana ). An under¬ 
ground creeper, making a deep, heavy sod of fine texture and 
color. Lb. $1.50, 10 lbs. $14, 25 lbs. $33.75. 
RED-TOP ( Agrostis alba). A valuable Grass for hay, pasture or 
lawn. It will grow on any soil that is not extremely dry. With 
the possible exception of Kentucky Blue Grass, it surpasses 
all other Grasses for lawn-making, and is an extra-good variety 
for golf-grounds and other places where the turf must with¬ 
stand hard usage. About fifteen to twenty pounds of seed will 
be required for an acre. We handle nothing but the solid re¬ 
cleaned seed, having discarded the unhulled and chaff grades. 
Lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $3.50, 25 lbs. $8. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS ( Poa pratensis). Kentucky Blue 
Grass is most valuable for pastures and lawn planting. For 
lawns it is indispensable and, when well established, the lawn 
will last for years, as the Grass makes an extra-close fine- 
textured turf. The seed should be mixed with other Grasses 
that mature earlier, for Blue Grass is very slow in both ger¬ 
minating and maturing. Lb. 50c., 10 lbs. $4.50, 25 lbs. $10.50. 
WOOD MEADOW GRASS {Poa nemoralis). Will grow in shady 
places where practically no other Grass will succeed, and 
therefore is particularly desirable for shaded lawns. Lb. $1.10, 
10 lbs. $10.50, 25 lbs. $25. 
ROUGH-STALKED MEADOW GRASS (Poa trivialis). A 
• thick-matting, stoloniferous species which makes a heavy turf 
and is well adapted to shady situations. Light moisture, but 
does not do well in dry, exposed places. Lb. 55 cts., 10 lbs. 
$5, 25 lbs. $11.50. 
DOMESTIC RYT GRASS. A mixture of Italian and English 
Rye Grass grown in the United States. Quick-growing and 
often used for a nurse grass or temporary turf. Lb. 30 cts., 
10 lbs. $2.50, 25 lbs. $5.50. 
SEEDS 
PACEY’S PERENNIAL RYE GRASS {Lolium perenne, Pacey). 
A fine-leaved Grass, not as coarse as the ordinary variety and 
more resistant to cold. An excellent green on fairways or 
anywhere that a quick-growing sod is needed. An excellent 
“nurse” grass for slow-germinating grasses. Lb. 40 cts., 
10 lbs. $3.50, 25 lbs. $8. 
CHEWING’S NEW ZEALAND FESCUE (Festuca rubra fallax). 
A fine, needle-like sod excellent for putting-greens and lawns. 
Lb. 85 cts., 10 lbs. $8, 25 lbs. $19. 
RED FESCUE {Festuca rubra). A close, long-lasting turf for dry, 
sandy soils. Excellent at the sea-shore. Lb. 75 cts., 10 lbs. $7, 
25 lbs. $16.25. 
SHEEP’S FESCUE {Festuca ovina). Bluish “bunch Grass,” 
useful for mixtures, for dry lands and pastures. Lb. 75 cts., 
10 lbs. $7, 25 lbs. $16.25. 
HARD FESCUE {Festuca duriuscula) . A wiry bluish gray Grass 
for dry lands. Extremely hardy. Lb. 75 cts., 10 lbs. $7, 
25 lbs. $16.25. 
CRESTED DOG’S-TAIL {Cynosurus cristatus). A low-growing 
Grass that makes extra-dense turf in rich, moist soils; is also 
desirable for putting-greens and lawns. Will grow equally well 
in the shade or the sun. About seventy pounds of seed will be 
required for an acre. Lb. 75 cts., 10 lbs. $7, 25 lbs. $16.25. 
ORCHARD GRASS {Dactylis glomerata). A quick-maturing 
Grass that is used for pasture and hay. It may be cut several 
times during the year, but it is advisable to use the machine 
before the plants show the seed-heads. From thirty to thirty- 
five pounds will be required for an acre. Lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. 
$3.50, 25 lbs. $8. 
TIMOTHY {Phleum pratense). One of the most important hay 
Grasses, sometimes used to nurse lawns made on rough soil. 
The most valuable hay plant. Lb. 40 cts., 5 lbs. $1.75, 10 
lbs. $3.25. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER {Trifolium repens). Valuable for 
quick lawns and permanent pastures. fi\b. 20 cts., P2V0. 
35 cts., lb. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $6. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE 
A well-balanced pasture-producing mixture made up of the 
very highest grades of recleaned grass and clover seeds, which 
will produce an abundant and nutritious food-supply for all 
kinds of stock. The land should be plowed in the fall, left rough 
over winter, and prepared in the spring, making the seed-bed as 
fine as possible by repeated harrowing. After seeding, the land 
should be rolled. An occasional top-dressing of fertilizer high in 
nitrogen is advisable after the grass is established. Sow 40 
pounds to the acre. A bushel weighs about 28 pounds. 5 lbs. 
$2.75, 10 lbs. $5, 25 lbs. $11, 100 lbs. $40.
