For Mowing and Grazing Lands 
In the handling of land for mowing and grazing purposes, it is very 
necessary to consider whether the land is to be seeded for temporary pur¬ 
poses or for permanent pasturage or for hay. It is very often the case that 
a piece of land is seeded down for one or two years with the idea of prac¬ 
ticing alternate husbandry by turning the land back to other crops there¬ 
after. For such short-term seeding down, we offer special mixtures com¬ 
posed largely of annual and biennial grasses. For seeding down land for 
long-term mowing and grazing, we offer other mixtures in which much 
larger proportions of permanent grasses are included. 
We have prepared the following mixtures which are especially suited to 
our New England soils and variable climate. We recommend them without 
qualification.

We offer the following varieties of Bent Grasses for use on lawns and 
putting greens. They are all hardy and well adapted to soil and climatic 
conditions here in New England. 
Astoria Bent. This is an Oregon-grown strain of Colonial or Rhode Island 
Bent. It is hardy, upright-growing, with a creeping root system. Rec¬ 
ommended for use in lawn mixtures. Lb. 11.00, 100 lbs. $90.00

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis ) 
Sometimes called June Grass, Meadow Grass or Spear Grass 
Perennial. Root creeping. A valuable variety for lawn mixtures. Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass requires two to three years to become well established 
and does not reach perfection as a pasture grass until it is at least four 
years old. It is therefore not suited for alternate husbandry when the 
land is to remain in grass for only 2 to 3 years. Lb. 30c., 100 lbs. $27.00

will endure very dry and inferior soils. Suitable for lawn use on dry 
slopes. Weight 22 lbs. per bushel. Prices on application

its roots, which penetrate deeply, prevent erosion. Withstands droughts 
better than most species. Lb. 35c., 100 lbs. $30.00 
RED TOP ( Agrostis alba ) 
An important grass for either lawn or agricultural purposes. Will thrive 
under a wide range of conditions. Often sown with timothy and red clover
