DEFENSE 
OUR BIGGEST job now is to get squarely behind our defense program and 
produce food and armaments to our fullest capacity. 



ASTORIA BENT, RHODE 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 3 Ibs. to 1000 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 does not 
usually show up till the second year, after 
which it makes a fine turf of uniform color 
and texture. Sow about 3 lbs. to 1000 sa. ft. 
BERMUDA (Cynodon dactylon). 85 lbs. per 
bushel. A vigorous creeper used principally 
in the South. Can also be used as an annual 
grass in the North. 
BLUE GRASS, CANADIAN (Poa com- 
pressa). 14 lbs. per bu. For general use, 
inferior to Kentucky Blue Grass. Superior 
in dry, shady or impoverished soils and banks. 
It does not make a good turf alone as it pro- 
duces a large amount of stems and compara- 
tively little foliage. Good upland pasture 
grass. - 
BLUE GRASS, KENTUCKY (Poa praten- 
sis). 14 Ibs. per bu. standard. We can fur- 
nish 19 Ibs. to 30 lbs. test per bu. Largely 
used for lawns and when once established, 
lasts indefinitely. An excellent pasture grass. 
Deep rooting and has an attractive color. For 
lawns, sow 5 lbs. per 1000 sa. ft.; for pas- 
tures, 20 to 30 Ibs. per acre. 
BROME GRASS (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 good 
soil. Usually sown broadcast at the rate of 
20 lbs. per acre. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS /(Agropyron 
cristatum). 24 lbs. per bu. A hardy drought- 
resistant Northwestern prairie grass, adapted 
in Central States area mainly for controlling 
erosion on banks and dry slopes. Once estab- 
lished it develops a deep, firm turf. Can be 
sown in spring or fall, 50 lbs. per acre. 
ENGLISH WILD WHITE CLOVER. 60 
lbs. per bu. A dwarf variety of White Clover, 
very hardy and excellent for permanent pas- 
ture, sown alone or broadcast on old mea- 
dows. 8 to 5 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 Ibs. to the acre. 
We supply in this vicinity nearly all of 
the cemeteries, public parks, golf courses, 
and other places where considerable quan- 
tities of grass seed are used and we are 
prepared at al] times to furnish the highest 
quality seeds for all purposes. We will be 
pleased to estimate on any special mixture 
that may be required. 

SHADY NOOK LAWN SEED. 
Many beautiful 
Jawns are marred by bare spots under trees, 
shrubbery, and near buildings. Shady Nook 
is composed of an excellent selection of fine 
grasses that will withstand such conditions 
better than those in our other mixtures. It 
is important that soil fertility and moisture 
supply is well provided in places getting but 
little sunshine. Per 14 lb., 35c; 1 1b., 60c; 
3 Ibs., $1.65; 5 lbs., $2.65; 10 lbs., $5.00;

permanent pasture. 24 lbs. per acre required 
if sown alone, or in mixtures. 12 to 18 lbs. 
LADINO CLOVER. A giant variety of White 
Clover. Excellent for pasture, recovering 
quickly from heavy grazing. Most satisfac- 
tory on naturally moist soils, and sown alone 
at rate of 5 lbs. per acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata), 14 
Ibs. 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 114 to 
2 bus. per acre; if with Red Clover, 1 to1% 
bus. of Orchard Grass to 5 or 6 lbs. of Red 
Clover. For seed, the same quantity of Red 
Clover and % of a bu. of Orchard Grass. 
REEDS CANARY GRASS. 35 lbs. per bu. 
Well-suited commercial hay crop for moist or 
swampy land. Sow at rate of 6 to 8 lbs. per 
acre. It is advisable to sow 2 lbs. Alsike with 
this to insure uniform stand. 
RED TOP, FANCY RECLEANED (Agros- 
tis alba). 30 Ibs. per- bu. Sometimes called 
Herds Grass. Used as one of the principal 
ingredients in lawn seed mixtures. Also 
splendid for pasture, making a fair hay crop. 
Best suited to moist rich soil, although does 
well on poor soil. Excellent when sown with 
Timothy, both maturing together. Requires

pasture. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
RYE GRASS, 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-

acre. In mixture, from 2 to 3 pecks per acre. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS (Arrhena- 
therum elatius). 11 lbs. per bu. A very fine 
grass which is suitable for upland soils and 
especially valuable for mixture with Orchard

forms a better sod. Cut when in bloom it 
is very nutritious and it affords wonderful 
amount of pasturage. Requires alone 1% to 
2 bus. per acre; in mixture from ¥% to % bu. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). 45 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 do 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 Ibs. Timothy and 5 to 6 lbs. of Clover.
