MICHELL’S RELIABLE GRASS SEEDS 
SEPARATE VARIETIES (Cont.) 
RYE GRASSES 
Sow approximately 100 lbs. per acre. 
English Rye Grass (Lolium perenne ). A short¬ 
lived perennial under lawn conditions, its 
greatest usefulness is for the quick production 
of a green covering on newly seeded areas. 
Recommended primarily as a nurse grass in 
mixtures or where temporary results are wanted. 
Pacey’s Rye Grass (Lolium perenne Pacey). 
A more dwarf, finer bladed strain of the above, 
and recommended in place of it for turf work. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium italicum). An an¬ 
nual variety, used principally for temporary 
turf in the south. We can furnish both Irish 
grown and domestic seed. 
MISCELLANEOUS GRASSES 
Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dadylon). A valuable summer grass 
for greens and fairways as far north as Washington, D. C., 
above which latitude it is not satisfactory. It is necessary to 
top-dress such turf in the fall and seed with rye grass or red 
top since Bermuda grass becomes dormant in cooler weather. 
Crested Dog’s-tail (Cynosurus cristatus). A desirable turf grass, 
satisfactory only under favorable conditions. Tolerant of 
drought and poor soil. 
Orchard Grass (Dadylus glomerata). Quick-growing, broad 
leaved, tuft forming grass. May be used in the rough in partial 
shade. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Where its presence is not objectionable, white clover is a 
desirable ground cover because of its rich, compact growth, its 
hardiness and resistance to drought, and because it adds 
nitrogen to the soil, stimulating the growth of grasses growing 
with it. 
MIXTURES FOR VARIOUS SPORTS 
ATHLETIC FIELD MIXTURE 
This mixture has been perfected for use on football, baseball, 
hockey, polo and cricket grounds, where first class turf is required. 
For many years we have supplied athletic clubs and universities 
with this mixture, and can recommend it as the very best for such 
purposes. Sow 150 to 200 lbs. per acre, depending on the thick¬ 
ness desired. 
5 lbs.$1.90 | 25 lbs.$8.00 
100 lbs.$30.00 
TENNIS COURT MIXTURE 
Our formula for Lawn Tennis Turf is composed of various 
grasses that will produce a perfect playing surface and thrive 
during the entire season under proper care, withstanding hard 
play, frequent rolling and close mowing. Sow one pound to 150 
square feet. 
5 lbs.$3.00 | 25 lbs.$13.50 
100 lbs.$52.00
