HADY KIOOK seed. 
riMLH l\ Many beautiful 
lawns are marred by bare spots under 
trees, shrubbery, and near buildings. 
Shady Nook is composed of an excellent selec¬ 
tion of fine grasses that will withstand such 
conditions better than those in our other mix¬ 
tures. It is important that soil fertility and 
moisture supply is well provided in places 
getting but little sunshine. Per V4 Ib.» 30c; 
1 lb., 50c; 3 lbs., $1.25; 5 lbs., $1.75; lO 
lbs., $3.25; 20 lbs., $6.00. 
HILLSIDE or TEBBACE LAWN SEED. 
For high, dry situations where moisture and 
poor soil are conditions to be contended with. 
It is composed of grasses that will succeed 
fairly well under these conditions and pro¬ 
duce short green turf. Per y z lb., 20c; 
1 lb., 35c; 3 lbs., $1.00; 5 lbs., $1.50; 
10 lbs., $2.75; 20 lbs., $5.00. 
QUEEN CITY DAWN SEED. This mixture 
is composed of Blue Grass, Red Top, Rye

on to produce a beautiful and permanent 
lawn. Per ^4 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
$1.00; 10 lbs., $1.90; 20 lbs., $3.50. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOTEB (Trifolium re¬ 
pens). A valuable legume for use in lawn 
and pasture mixtures, or sown as a straight 
crop. 
▲STOBIA BENT, BHODE ISLAND 
BENT, COLONIAL BENT (Agrostis ten¬ 
uis). An excellent all-round bent for lawns, 
greens, parks and playing fields; grows on 
wide range of soils; spreads mainly by under¬ 
ground root stalks or rhizomes, making a 
deep reinforced sod. It seldom produces many 
stolons or surface runners, thus lessening the 
amount of top-dressing and watering. Sow 
about 5 lbs. to 1(K>0 square feet. 
SEASIDE or COOS COUNTY BENT 
(Agrostis maritima). A superlative bent for 
putting greens and lawns, ranked high by 
U. S. Golf Association for putting surface, 
producing a luxuriant matted growth. It is 
one of the most vigorous stoloniferous creep¬ 
ers although this characteristic doe* not 
usually show up till the second year, after 
which it makes a fine turf of uniform color 
and texture. Sow about 6 lbs. to 1000 sq. ft. 
BEBMUDA (Cynodon dactylon). 35 lbs. per 
bushel. A vigorous creeper used principally 
in the South. Can also be used as an annual 
grass in the North. 
BLUE GBASS, KENTUCKY (Poa praten- 
sis). 14 lbs. per bu. Largely used for lawns 
and when once established, lasts indefinitely. 
An excellent pasture grass. Deep rooting and 
attractive color. For lawns, sow 3 to 4 bu. 
per acre; for pastures 1V4 to 2 bu. per acre. 
BBOME GBASS (Bromus inermis). 14 lbs. 
per bu. A hardy perennial, the seed of which 
may be sown from spring to fall. It is espe¬ 
cially valuable for pasture, the vigorous root 
stalks forming a firm sod. Brome Grass is 
more drought resistant than ordinary eastern 
meadow grasses and does not require a heavy 
good soil, but thrives on poor land. Usually 
sown broadcast at the rate of 20 lbs. per acre. 
CBESTED DOG’S TAIL (Cynosurus crista- 
tus). 21 lbs. per bu. Very much esteemed 
for lawns and mixtures in many of the 
Northern States, producing a quick growth 
of short grass, which is of little forage value 
and has many stems. 60 lbs. per acre. 
FESCUE, CHEWINGS (Festuca Rubra var. 
Fallax). 24 lbs. per bu. New Zealand grown. 
This fine-leaved grass produces a bright 
green turf, especially well adapted for tree 
shade, on account of its drought resistance. 
40 lbs. to the acre. 
FESCUE, FINE LEAVED (Festuca capil- 
lata). A variety of sheep fescue. It is an 
excellent shade grass, tolerant of heat and 
dry soiL Dark green in color. 
FESCUE, MEADOW or ENGLISH BLUE 
(Festuca elatior). 24 lbs. per bu. Sometimes 
known as Evergreen Grass. Used largely for 
permanent pasture. 24 lbs. per acre required 
if sown alone, or in mixtures, 12 to 18 lbs. 
FESCUE—SHEEP, OBDINABY BED, or 
HABO (Festuca ovina). 14 lbs. per bu. 
There is a slight difference between the 
strains of Sheep, Ordinary Red (not Creep¬ 
ing) and Hard Fescue, but of recent years 
the strains have been substituted so regularly 
and have been so mixed that we are offering 
only one strain. Excellent for pastures and 
withstands much heat and drought. If allowed 
to grow tall it forms tufts. Requires alone 
1% to 2 bu. per acre. In mixture ^ to 1 bu. 
OBOHABD GBASS (Dactylis glomerata). 14 
lbs. per bu. Particularly suited to upland, 
loamy or moderately stiff soil. It ripens three 
weeks ahead of Timothy and is excellent to 
sow with Red Clover. Usually yields two 
crops and is one of the most valuable grasses 
for both pasturage and hay. Requires 1M» to 
2 bu. per acre; if with Red Clover, 1 to 1V4 
bu. of Orchard Grass to 6 or 6 lbs. of Red 
Clover. For seed the same quantity of Red 
Clover and % of a bu. of Orchard Grass. 
FOA TBIVIALIS (Rough Stalked Meadow). 
14 lbsi. per bu. This grass is known as “The 
blue grass of the shade,” being particularly 
adapted for shady places. Same family and 
characteristics as Blue Grass. For lawns, 
4 to 5 bu. per acre; for pastures, sow 1% 
to 2 bu. per acre. 
Timothy, both maturing together. Requires 
6 to 8 lbs. alone, or 3 to 4 lbs. to acre in 
mixtures.

(Agrostis alba). 14 lbs. per bu. Sow at the 
rate of 30 lbs. per acre. See Fancy Red Top. 
BYE GBASS, DOMESTIC. 24 lbs. per bu. 
Also known as Western Rye Grass. It is in¬ 
clined to be an annual and is especially valu¬ 
able for use in lawn mixtures as a nurse 
crop; it is a quick growing grass and suc¬ 
ceeds well on almost any type of soil. 
BYE GBASS, ITALIAN (Lolium multi- 
florura). 24 lbs. per bu. Similar to Perennial 
Rye Grass but little quicker maturing. Good 
for a quick hay crop. If alone, requires 1^4 bu. 
per acre. In mixture, 2 to 8 pecks per acr*. 
BYE GBASS, PERENNIAL (Lolium per- 
enne). 24 lbs. per bu. Often called English 
Rye Grass. A quick growing grass which is 
most suitable for mixtures, pastures, hay and 
lawns. Succeeds well on almost any soil not 
water sogged and affords good, quick nutri¬ 
tious grazing. If alone, requires 1% bu. per 
acre. In mixture, from 2 to 8 pecks per acre. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GBASS (Arrhena- 
therum elatius). 11 lbs. per bu. A very fine 
grass which is suitable for upland soils and 
especially valuable for mixture with Orchard 
Grass. It ripens about the same time and 
forms a better sod. Cut when in bloom it 
is very nutritious and it affords wonderful 
amount of pasturage. Requires alone 1% to 
2 bu. per acre; in mixture from % to % bu. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). 46 lbs. per 
bu. It is the most desirable of all grasses for 
hay but should not be grazed as the tramping 
of cattle hoofs causes it to die. In this section 
Timothy is best suited to low, flat or alluvial 
soils where there is a fair amount of moisture 
but does not grow well in water-sogged soil. 
Requires alone, 1 peck per acre; if with Clo¬ 
ver, 8 lbs. Timothy and 5 to 6 lbs. of Clover. 
BLUE GBASS, CANADIAN (Poa com- 
pressa). 14 lbs. per bu. For general use, 
inferior to Kentucky Blue Grass. Superior 
in dry, shady or impoverished soils. It does 
not make a good turf as it produces a large 
amount of stems and comparatively little 
foliage. Good upland pasture grass. 
BED TOP, FANCY BECLEANED (Agros¬ 
tis alba). 30 lbs. per acre. Sometimes called 
Herds Grass. Used as one of the principal 
ingredients in lawn seed mixtures. Also splen¬ 
did for pasture, making a fair hay crop. Best 
suited to moist rich soil, although does well 
on poor soil. Excellent when sown with
