★ PASTURE ★ 
Sometimes called Perennial Rye. For good, quick, rich 
grazing. Can be cropped close. Grows on any soil—not 
too wet. Relished by all livestock. Sow Spring or Fall— 
40 to 50 pounds per acre. 24 lbs. per bushel. 
Reed Canary Grass. Its long life, long grazing season 
and the large quantity of palatable foliage, make it a valu¬ 
able pasture grass. Does best where climate is moist and 
cool, although is grown over a wide area. Makes its best 
growth on fertile, moist or swampy soils. Grows well on 
loams and clays of good fertility. 
Reed Canary Grass is a coarse perennial, 2 to 6 feet tall. 
Leafy stems. Leaves broad, smooth and light green. Sow 
early in Spring, 6 to 10 pounds seed per acre. Big yields 
of hay often result. Where limited pasturing is practiced, 
2 cuttings a year are sometimes possible. 
Is SURE and speedy grower. Plant every Spring. Will not 
live over Winter. Heavy growth. 24 pounds per bushel. 
Often called English Blue. It is not like the Kentucky 
Blue, however. Grows anywhere but does better on low, 
damp locations. Comes early—lasts through the season. 
Stands dry or freezing weather. A hardy grass. Grows 2 
to 3 feet high. Fine for meadows. Sow 40 pounds per acre. 
24 lbs. per bushel. 
A WONDERFUL grass for poor soils. Grows tall, rank and 
fast. Lasts for years. A hardy deep-rooted grass that stands 
drought and cold. Sow 2 to 3 bushels per acre. 14 lbs. 
per bushel. 
This is a hardy, tall, leafy, nourishing grass. Because it is 
not as palatable as some of the other grasses, it is of more 
importance in the pasture than being grown as hay. It 
grows well anywhere ... on any soil ... in any location. 
Stands drought well. It is one of the earliest Spring grasses 
that lasts well into the Fall. It stands close cropping and 
grows in tufts or bunches. Will last for years. Many farm¬ 
ers find it better to grow Orchard Grass alone than in mix¬ 
tures. Sow 30 pounds per acre. 14 lbs. per bushel. 
A HARDY perennial. Best on rich soils. Sow any time.
