Hay and Pasture Grass Seeds. 
Prices subject to variation. Special quotations for large quantities 
Mixture for Hay and Permanent Pasture. Con¬ 
sists of a number of grasses long recognized as 
the best combination for this latitude; two bushels 
per acre. Price per 100 lbs., $24.00. 
English Rye Grass. A nutritious, permanent 
grass for meadows and pastures, also as nurse 
crop with others for lawns. Price per lb., 18c.; 
per 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Italian Rye Grass. A quick-germinating, vigor¬ 
ous grass, similar to the English, except not so 
hardy and therefore preferred as a nurse crop with 
fine, slow-growing, but more permanent grasses. 
It is desired to have the nurse crop cease to exist 
after it has served its purpose. Price per lb., 18c.; 
per 100 lbs., $15.00. 
Red Top Fancy Cleaned. Heavy recleaned seed. 
Important both agriculturally and for making turf. 
Excellent in combination with Kentucky Blue or 
others, but too coarse after first year to be sown 
alone on fine lawns. Germinates quickly. Price 
per lb., 32c.; per 100 lbs., $28.00. 
Rhode Island Bent. (Agrostis Tenuis). Also 
known as Astoria Bent. Now available in a very 
pure state (98%) or better. Considered the finest 
and most reliable type of non-creeping Bent for 
fine lawns in the Northeastern States. It keeps 
its roots below the ground surface and is almost 
immune to fungus diseases. Price per lb., 95c.; 
per 100 lbs., $85.00. 
South German Mixed Bent. (Agrostis App.). 
Incorrectly called Creeping Bent. Very fine leaved 
and of creeping habit. Forms close, dense turf. 
Used on fine lawns and golf greens. Price per 
lb., $1.25; per 100 lbs., $120.00. 
Fancy Kentucky Blue. (Poa Pratensis). Valu¬ 
able for lawns when mixed with other varieties. 
It germinates slowly two or three weeks and re¬ 
quires a year or more to establish strong turf. 
It requires a rich soil but not necessarily a lime¬ 
stone soil. Extra heavy cleaned seed. Price per 
lb., 32c.; per 100 lbs., $27.00. 
Canada Blue. (Poa Compressa). A hardy per¬ 
ennial grass, with creeping rootstalks, forming a 
durable turf, though not so compact as Kentucky 
Blue. It grows on poor and dry soils, standing 
extremes of wet or drought, and keeping green 
until the severe frosts of winter. It is distinguished 
from the Kentucky Blue Grass by its flattened, 
wiry stems and bluer color. (14 lbs. to the bushel). 
Price per lb., 34c.; per 100 lbs., $29.00. 
Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass. (Fes- 
tuca Pratensis). A highly valuable species for 
permanent grass land. It does not, however, at¬ 
tain its full productive power until the second or 
third year, when it far exceeds most other sorts 
in the quantity of its produce and nutritive mat¬ 
ter. Price per lb., 26c.; per 100 lbs., $22.00. 
Chewings Red Fescue. (Festuca Rubra). A deep- 
rooted grass. It thrives on dry sandy soils, and 
remarkably well in shade, forming a good turf 
surface, especially valuable for steep slopes on 
lawns. It is the only fine-leaved fescue forming 
a dense smooth turf. Price per lb., 44c.; per 100 
lbs., $40.00. 
Rough Stalked Meadow Grass. (Poa Trivialis). 
Resembles Kentucky Blue in appearance. Most 
valuable grass for shady lawns where there is 
reasonable amount of moisture. Price per lb., 
44c.; per 100 lbs., $40.00. 
Orchard Grass. (Dactylis Glomerata). One of 
the most desirable pasture grasses for stock and 
for shady places. Price per lb., 26c.; per 100 lbs., 
$ 22 . 00 . 
Timothy. (Phleum Pratense). A well-known 
grass, and more generally grown than any other 
variety for hay. High-grade, clean seed is of 
greatest importance. We carry a large stock of 
this seed, buying in car lots, which is graded and 
sold on basis of purity and germination tests. 
Prices on application.
