drills is in. apart and cultivate; may be broadcast at the rate of 
20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Ask for prices. 
CHEWING’ FESCUE 
Dark green leaves; forms dense turf. Permanent in most places 
and good in shade. Purity 85 per cent. Lb. 75 cts. 
RED TOP, OR HERD GRASS 
Succeeds better and is adapted to a wider range of soils than 
any other grass grown in the United States. Red Top is especial¬ 
ly adapted for growing on wet, heavy bottom lands, and should 
always be included in mixtures for such lands whether for hay or 
pasture. Red Top, if sown alone, should be seeded at the rate of 
8 to 10 pounds per acre of fancy recleaned seed. Being used quite 
a bit in recent years with Timothy. Lb. 14c; 25 lbs. 13c lb. 
TIMOTHY 
Timothy is suitable for a wide variety of soils, but does best 
on bottom lands, rich moist loams and clays. It does not do so 
well on light sandy soils. Timothy can be sown to good advant¬ 
age in either fall or spring. Sapling Clover, 6 lbs. ; Timothy, 8 
lbs., a*'d Herds Grass, 6 lbs., make a mixture very desirable for 
hay or pasture, sufficient to seed an acre. Timothy by itself re- 
quires to be sown at the rate of about a peck to the acre or with 
clover r. lbs., of Timothy and 6 lbs., Sapling Clover will give a 
good seeding.. 99.60 pure. Lb. 6c; Bu. $2.25. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Does not succeed on thin sandy soils. Limestone and stiff soils 
suit it best. One of the first grasses to start up in the spring, 
yielding valuable nutritious pasturage. It stands the coldest 
weather a"d cattle trampling the ground does not injure it. Should 
be sown thickly, as it requires some time to become thoroughly 
established, usually one or two years, and for that reason we re¬ 
commend that it be sown with other grasses. Sow either in the 
fall or spring, 15 to 20 lbs. to the acre. Lb. 20c; Bu. $1.85; 8 
Bu. Bag $1.80 per bu. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard grass is a very vigorous grower and yields large crops 
of p'-^ollent a d nutritious hay, as well as having special value as 
a pasture grass, furnishing good grazing from early spring till 
winter. It respo' ds quickly after cutting or grazing, for in a few 
weeks of seasonable weather it is ready for grazing again. When 
cut for hay be sure to cut when in bloom, or as soon thereafter 
as possible, for if left too long after blooming the woody fibre 
forms a’ d the hay becomes coarse. Orchard grass is particularly 
well adapted for pastures, and has the further advantage of grow¬ 
ing well in shade, giving excellent results when sown in orchards 
and shaded parks. Virginia Seed 83.00 Pure. Lb. 18c; Bu. $2.45.

LADING CLOVER 
Italian Seed Keeps More Cows In Clover 
AMHERST, Mass., Jan. 28 (U.P.)—Ladino clover, imported 
from Italy is increasing profits of Massachusetts dairymen, accord¬ 
ing to Ralph W. Donaldson, Massachusetts State College soils spec¬ 
ialist. 
This succulent crop grows so thick and fast, he says, that “12 
cows get abundant feed where one cow starved before.” 
Ladino seeds first were brought into Massachusetts in 1928 
bv John Ellis. His first crop was so successful that neighboring 
dairymen experimented. Since then plantings have increased each 
season, and last year 1200 acres were devoted to this crop culti¬ 
vation.

per lb. Ask for circular on Ladino Clover.
