of its fine, close growth, and pleasant green color. It should form a por¬ 
tion of all mixtures for lawns.,.20 lbs.

ing; perennial; flowers in July; one of the most valuable of the Fescue 
grasses. This grass is well adapted for permanent pastures. It grows

grass, its long, tender leaves being much relished by cattle. It should be 
always mixed with other grasses.15 lbs.

sandy material. It is usually sown in the Spring, but with favorable con¬ 
ditions may be sown in the Fall. One of the best grasses for sowing in 
shady places and among fruit trees in orchards. 35 to 40 lbs. required for 
one acre.. 14 lbs.

soils, gravelly banks and exposed hills. 25 lbs. to acre.14 lbs.

pasture and as meadow grass for hay. Red Top is especially valuable 
for sour and acids soils, and meadow lands, and those that are not rich 
enough for Timothy or Clover; it does not thrive on sandy or leachy soils, 
but will adapt itself to a wider range of soils than any other grass. RedTop 
makes one of the best grasses for lawn use, either sown alone or in con¬ 
nection with White Clover, or in a mixture with other grasses.

on account of its early and late growth.10 lbs.

crops are subject to soil and climate. The most profitable crops are ob¬ 
tained the first and second seasons. Timothy sown alone requires about 
20 lbs. per acre; when sown with Red Clover use 15 lbs. Timothy and 5 lbs.
