FIELD AND LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
The most widely known and best of all 
pasture grasses. It starts early in the 
spring and furnishes an immense amount 
of grazing throughout the season. The 
ideal grass to produce a nice velvety lawn. 
MEADOW FESCUE OR 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS 
The name English Blue Grass commonly 
applied to this grass is sometimes confus¬ 
ing, as there is little similarity between it 
and the common Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Meadow Fescue grows much taller and is 
not injured by wet weather; is easy to get 
a stand and will furnish a large amount of 
pasture and hay; neither does it seem to 
be injured by close cropping or tramping. 
BROME GRASS 
Stands excessive drought or extreme 
cold without injury. The grass that has 
made good in the dry sections of the West. 
This extensively advertised grass was 
introduced from Russia. It is a vigorous, 
hardy perennial, with strong, creeping root 
stalks; smooth, upright leafy stems, one to 
four inches high and loose, open seed heads 
four to eight inches long. In a few years 
it forms a very tough sod, soon crowding 
out other grasses, clovers and weeds. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
40 to 50 pounds to acre. 
Similar to the Perennial Rye Grass. Very 
nutritious and valuable for pasture, espe¬ 
cially for early feeding; excellent for lawn. 
Height 18 to 20 inches. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
This variety is used for pastures and 
lawns; succeeds well in shady places. Has 
given excellent satisfaction wherever tried. 
It is especially adapted for pastures, as it 
will endure close cropping, and is of strong 
and quick successive aftergrowth. Peren¬ 
nial Rye Grass produces an abundance of 
foliage, which remains bright and green 
through the season. 
RED TOP 
Grows well on all soils, whether sandy, 
thin, dry lands or rich heavy or wet soils; 
it is one of the most satisfactory grasses 
that can be grown; a fine pasture grass 
and also well suited for meadows. 
TIMOTHY 
The best known grass in the United 
States and makes the standard hay of com¬ 
merce. It succeeds best on rich, moist 
soil; satisfactory crops cannot be grown 
on high, dry, sandy soil. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
One of the best grasses for pasture or 
meadow. It is hardy, vigorous grower, and 
succeeds in the shade as well as in the 
sunshine. Especially valuable for sowing 
in orchard or woodland. It grows well on 
all soils except on stiff, heavy clay or wet 
land. 
BERMUDA GRASS 
Peculiarly adapted to the southern states. 
Valuable for pasture and hay crop. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Often used as a nurse crop for blue grass 
pastures. Remains green all through the 
season. 
LAWN MIXTURE 
Our Standard Lawn Grass Mixture is 
made up of grasses well adapted to this 
section of the country, principal portion 
being Kentucky Blue Grass with other 
grasses mixed therein to serve as a nurse 
crop for the Blue Grass, which is naturally 
slow in germinating. We recommend our 
Lawn Grass Mixture for spring planting.
