This long lived 
perennial grass is 
well known as an 
outstanding pas- 
ture and lawn 
grass in a great 
portion of our 
ee country. Tee is 
very nutritious and highly palatable. Grows from early 
spring until late fall. Makes a fine sod and stands close 
grazing. Stands a lot of drought, coming out after long 
dry spells in an astonishing manner. It is adapted to a 
wide territory and to different soil types. Will stand 
some wet conditions and some acid but not as much as 
Red Top. Because of its fine quality it is widely de- 
sired for pasture. 
Make Blue Grass More Profitable 
Blue Grass pasture should be good money makers yet 
on many farms they are not. That is not the fault of 
the grass but more often due to neglect. When bare 
spots show up little attention is given them. It is hoped 
they may be reseeded by mother nature. Sometimes 
they are but it is slow. Meanwhile you lose what bare 
spots might be producing and weeds creep'in. Save 
money by reseeding such places. 
Other ways in which you can improve Blue Grass pas- 
ture is to fertilize them. Grasses use plant food same as 
grain. Sow clovers in Blue Grass to’ give them more 
nitrogen. Ladino, Sweet Clover and Birds Foot Trefoil 
are good. Clip weeds before they go to seed. Do not 
Over-graze it in dry season. - 
Blue Grass is very short. Order of Berry’s today. We harvest our own Bluegrass. 
A Most Valuable Pasture 
Good pastures pay good profit. You lose 
money on poor ones. Use Berry’s Extra 
Fancy Quality seed to build money-making acres. 
Seeding Suggestions 
Buy good seed but don’t pay too much for it. Our 
prices will save you money. ‘In spite of short 
crops our prices are very low. Prepare a fine, well 
settled seed bed. Sow in the spring or fall. Spring 
seedings may be made with a light crop of grain as 
a companion crop. Some clover also may be used 
with a spring seeding. Timothy is sometimes used 
both with fall or winter seedings. Blue Grass 
straight is sown 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. In mixtures), 
reduce to suit your ideas. For thickening thin spots 
8 to 10 lbs. are génerally sufficient. Whenever 
possible roll after seeding. 
Blue Grass for Lawns 
For lawns a very thick stand is 
desirable and a pound to every 5 
or 600 square feet is suggested. 
An application of commercial fer- 
tilizer and a little lime will make a 
more luxurious growth, give it 
better color and help keep out 
weeds such as dandelions.

A crop like Sudan Grass will make a much larger growth than Domestic Rye Grass

corn planting time while Domestic Rye Grass in at oat seeding time and for early 
pasture, alone or in mixtures, be sure to use some of this fine grass.

A Grass That Is Widely Adapted 
A crop used for hay and pasture. Yields around 
2 tons of hay per acre on average land. Grows 15 to 
80 inches high. Exceptionally valuable for pastures 
because it comes on very early in the spring and keeps 
on the job until late in the fall. Grows well from 
Kansas and Nebraska east to the Atlantic Coast and 
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Not critical as 
to soils. Few grasses can equal it on wet land, Lives 
longer than Timothy. Seed cost is low 
this year. Sow about 20 Ibs. per acre. 
It is a profitable crop either alone or in 
mixtures. It adds variety to pastures 
and increases their value. Grow some 
of it this year.
