CHOICE GRASS SEEDS 
Many growers of grass seeds offer several grades of each variety, varying greatly in price. We do not recom¬ 
mend nor do we sell the inferior grades. Those which we offer are strictly High Grade, and the prices at which 
we offer them should not be compared with those quoted for inferior grades. 
Prices may change as the season advances. If to 
Awnless Brome Grass (Bromus inermis). Recom¬ 
mended for dry, arid soils where other grasses do 
not grow. In nutritive value is much inferior to 
many other sorts, but is very permanent and there¬ 
fore useful for some locations. 
Beach Grass (Ammophila arundinacea). Valuable 
for sowing on railway banks, seashore, etc. Its 
strong, creeping roots hold the drifting sands, and 
protect against wind and wave. This grass is usually 
propagated by transplanting in the Fall. _ When 
seed is used it should be sown in the Spring and 
covered with brush until the seed becomes estab¬ 
lished. Cannot supply. 
go by mail, add Parcel Post rates to cover postage. 
Creeping Bent (Agrostis stolonifera). One of the most 
valuable lawn grasses because of its short growth and 
deep green, fine-leaved foliage. Its stoloniferous roots 
form a strong, close, enduring turf, which is not 
injured by being frequently walked on. 85c. per lb. 
Crested Dogstail (Cynosurus cristatus). Good for 
permanent pasture for sheep; is productive and early, 
suffers but little from dry weather, and is one of the 
best grasses for lawns; 35 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 50c., 
100 lbs. $48.00.

ture grass of fine quality; thrives well in dry situa¬
