BENT, Colonial (Agrostis tenuis). An Oregon-grown strain of Colonial 
or Rhode Island Bent. This grass produces a luxuriant, heavy and very 
firm turf when it is maintained as a putting green. It is of fine texture, 
hardy, and well adapted to New England soils and conditions; very resist- 
ant to disease. Desirable as a golf putting green grass and as an im- 
portant lawn seed mixture ingredient. 
Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $13.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50 
BENT, Seaside (Agrostis palustris). Oregon-grown. A fine-leaved, true 
creeping Bent which spreads by runners or stolons that root when they 
come in contact with the soil. Used as a putting green grass, making a 
fine. thick, matty sed but requiring several top dressings each season 
to keep it in good condition. Not suitable for the average home lawn. 
Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $13.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50 
BENT, Raritan Velvet (Agrostis canina). True Emerald Farm Strain. 
Properly cared for, this grass makes the finest and most velvety turf of 
all. It spreads by runners above ground and also by underground root 
stalks. It is the only Bent grass which will thrive permanently in a 
shady location. Lb. $7.50, 5 Ibs. $35.00, 10 Ibs. $66.00, 25 lbs. $152.00 
FESCUE, Chewing’s (Festuca rubra var. fallax). An excellent, fineleaved, 
fast-spreading grass which will withstand drought and will thrive on 
loose, sandy soils which are of a somewhat acid nature. Chewing’s Fescue 
will also do very well in most types of soil, in sun or shade. It is at its 
best in a mixture with other grasses and should be in all good lawn mix- 
tures but never sown alone. 
Lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.75, 10 lbs. $9.00, 25 Ibs. $21.00, 100 Ibs. $80.00 
FESCUE, Creeping Red (Festuca rubra). Certified Genuine Olds Strain. 
An excellent, fine-leaved grass of creeping habit which makes a beautiful 
turf when combined with other grasses. Valuable in mixtures for shade. 
Lb. $1.50, 5 Ibs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $18.50, 25 Ibs. $31.50 
FESCUE, Meadow (English Bluegrass) (Festuca pratensis). A perennial 
grass which is particularly valuable on wet pasture land. It does not 
spread, but seeds itself freely and is very much relished by cattle. It 
should always be mixed with other grasses, such as Orchard Grass, 
Ryegrass or Kentucky Bluegrass. 
Lb. 50c., 5 lbs. $2.35, 10 Ibs. $4.50, 25 lbs. $10.50, 100 lbs. $40.00 
KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS (Poa pratensis). A very valuable grass for 
lawns and permanent pastures on soils that are fairly rich and which 
have an alkaline reaction. Kentucky Bluegrass germinates and matures 
slowly and the resulting turf is not fully developed until it is two years 
old. (It does not reach perfection as a pasture grass until it is at least 
four years old.) For lawns, combine it with other varieties which develop 
more quickly but which are gradually crowded out by this long-lived 
and really permanent grass. Weight, 28 lbs. per bushel. 
Lb. 50c., 5 Ibs. $2.35, 10 Ibs. $4.50. 25 Ibs. $10.50, 100 lbs. $40.00 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis glomerata). An excellent, fibrous-rooted 
perennial grass which thrives well on light, sandy soils. Particularly 
valuable on hilly slopes that wash badly, where its roots when established 
penetrate deeply, preventing erosion. Withstands droughts better than 
most species. Not desirable for lawn purposes, but an excellent pasture 
grass; makes excellent hay when combined with Red Clover. 
Lb. 65c., 5 Ibs. $2.95, 10 lbs. $5.75, 25 lbs. $13.75, 100 lbs. $52.00 
RED TOP (A grostis alba). An important grass for both lawn and agricul- 
tural purposes. Will thrive under a wide range of conditions. In lawn 
seed mixtures it is used solely as a nurse crop to be replaced by slower 
growing but more permanent grasses. Often sown with Timothy and Red 
Clover for pasture purposes. Fancy or cleaned seed, 40 lbs. per bushel. 
Lb. 30c., 5 Ibs. $1.45, 10 lbs. $2.75, 25 lbs. $6.50, 100 lbs. $25.00 

ngdtet 
RYEGRASS, Domestic (Lolium Species). A mixture of Perennial and 
Italian Ryegrasses grown in the Pacific Northwest. It does not produce 
a permanent turf and should never be sown alone, but it is a valuable 
nurse grass because of its rapid growth. Used in both lawn and pasture 
mixtures. Lb. 25c., 5 lbs. $1.20, 10 Ibs. $2.25, 25 lbs. $5.25, 100 lbs. $20.00 
RYEGRASS, Perennial (Lolium perenne). A quick germinating and rapid 
growing variety much used as a nurse grass for slower developing sorts 
in lawn seed mixtures; valuable for hay or pasturage. Perennial Ryegrass 
is seldom used alone, but is sown in combination with other grasses for 
either lawn or field use. 
Lb. 40c., 5 lbs. $1.90, 10 Ibs. $3.60, 25 lbs. $8.50, 100 Ibs. $32.00 
TIMOTHY (Herd’s Grass) (Phleum pratense). A valuable grass for hay, 
thriving best on moist, loamy soils of medium texture. Under favorable 
conditions it will yield three to four tons of best quality hay per acre. 
Not to be used in good lawn mixtures. Weight, 45 lbs. per bushel. ' 
Lb. 20c., 5 Ibs. 95c., 10 lbs. $1.80, 25 lbs. $4.25, 100 Ibs. $16.00 
GRASS SEED MIXTURES 
For Mowing and Grazing 
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 another mixture 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 with- 
out qualification.
