KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (14 lbs. per bu.) 
America’s best-known cultivated pasture grass. Grows any¬ 
where in the Eastern and Northern States. Kentucky Blue 
is one of our hardiest perennial grasses. It spreads rapidly 
by means of its running rootlets and it does especially well 
in limestone soils. It is a low growing grass compared to 
some others. It rarely exceeds two feet. It is a slow grower. 
Sow other varieties with Kentucky Blue if you want a 
pasture plot quickly. Sow about 40 pounds per acre. 
RED TOP (32 lbs. per bu.) 
The grass that grows under almost all conditions—will 
grow on wet land. Thrives on sour soils. Resists drought. 
Is a fast and vigorous grower. Sow in Spring or Fall. Plant 
Red Top and it will soon spread and supplant other grasses. 
In certain sections of New England, Red Top is the prin¬ 
cipal Hay plant sown. Good for pasture mixtures, being 
a fast, sure, steady grower. Sow 10 to 12 pounds per acre.
