Astoria (R. I.) Colonial Bent. A fine, hardy, 
very compact grass; very permanent, readily 
forming a heavy sward. Sow 2 to 3 pounds per 
1,000 square feet. 
Seaside Coos County Bent. A very useful 
grass for fine lawns and pleasure-grounds, on 
account of its short growth, deep green and 
fine-leaved foliage. Indispensable for golf- 
course, croquet, and cricket fields as well as 
general lawn formulas. Sow 3 to 5 pounds per 
1,000 square feet. 
Chewing’s Fescue. Perennial; 2 to 2J4 feet 
high; June and July. On account of its creep¬ 
ing habit is especially valuable for loose, sandy 
soils and embankments. It easily resists 
drought and often is green when other grasses 
are dried up. Sow 2Y. bushels an acre (14 
pounds to bushel). 
Domestic Rye Grass. Quick-growing and 
often used for a nurse grass or temporary turf. 
Kentucky Blue (Poa pratensis ). Known as 
June-Grass. An early grass of great value; 
makes a close, velvety turf, and is excellent for 
pasture; generally sown mixed with other 
grasses. Sow about 3 bushels an acre, if used 
alone (finest seed 14 pounds to bushel). 
Orchard Grass ( Dactylis glomerata). It is very 
satisfactory for the meadow when sown with 
other grasses, the hay being very nutritious, 
but it should be cut when in blossom. It is not 
suitable to sow alone, because of its tufted habit. 
Especially adapted for shady places, particu¬ 
larly in orchards, wood-lot pastures, and 
usually sown in the spring, but under favorable 
conditions may be sown in the fall. Sow 30 to 
40 pounds of seed an acre. 
Red-Top ( Agrostis vulgaris ). A great favorite, 
succeeding in a great variety of locations, giv¬ 
ing very good results on light soils, and the 
very best on heavy, moist soils or lowlands 
liable to overflow, which are so apt to be sour 
and acid. It does not thrive on sandy or Ieachy 
soil. 
Rough-Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa trivialis). 
This species of grass makes a very heavy turf 
and is generally used in shady locations when 
sown with other grasses. Prefers light moisture 
and does not do well in dry, exposed places. 
Timothy or Herd Grass ( Phleum pralense). A 
well-known nutritious grass, which on most 
soils will produce a better crop than any other 
variety. We offer a particularly choice quality 
of seed. Sow Yi bushel an acre, if alone (45 
pounds to the bushel). 
Cowpeas 
New Era. This variety can be used as a green 
summer feed for sheep and as a green crop for 
plowing under to enrich the soil. Use 2 bushels 
of seed per acre. 
full benefit of the lowest market rates for choice, 
Swedish Select Oats 
The straw is valuable for feed and for bed¬ 
ding. The sprangle-top heads, although long, are 
borne low down on the stalk, which seems to pre¬ 
vent lodging, and are very large in proportion to 
its stiff, bright, clean straw. Oats yield a greater 
profit per acre than wheat, and they are also a 
more reliable crop. Market price. 
Treat Oats with Ceresan before sowing. See 
page 18. 
Soy Beans 
Considered one of the most valuable plants for 
bringing nitrogen into the soil. It is an excellent 
green or dried fodder and can also be used for 
silage. Seed should be sown during May or June, 
using at least 1 bushel per acre broadcast, or can 
be sown in drills 2Y feet apart, at the rate of % 
bushel per acre. 
Canada Field Peas 
The vines make rich, nutritious hay, and if fed 
green to milch cows, the flow of milk will be al¬ 
most doubled. They can be sown alone or with 
oats and fed green. It is surprising the amount of 
fodder which is produced in this way. Market 
price. Inoculate this seed with Stimugerm. 
SEED INOCULATION 
Means Better Crops 
Bettei Soils, 
Less Expense 
The Best Inoculation for All Legume Seeds 
Seeds of all legumes—Clovers, Alfalfa, Sweet 
Clovers, Beans, Peas, Vetches, Soy Beans, Cow- 
peas, etc.—will yield far better results if inocu¬ 
lated with Stimugerm, and, in addition, leave 
in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen which 
benefits all succeeding crops in the rotation. 
Stimugerm— always fresh—always strong and 
virile. 
HOW TO ORDER: Specify crop and number 
of bushels you wish to inoculate (one-bushel 
size contains sufficient bacteria to thoroughly 
inoculate one bushel of designated variety of 
legume seed).
