MEADOW FESCUE 
HARDY—HEAVY PRODUCING 
Meadow Fescue is a deep rooted: perennial grass 
producing an abundance of dark green leaves that 
are highly nutritious, ordinarily reaching a height of 
18 to 24 inches. It is a crop that can be used for both 
hay and pasture. The growth starts very early in 
the spring and continues until early winter making a 
luxuriant fall pasture that stays green until hard 
freezing weather. Its value for hay in mixtures with 
other grasses and legumes should not be overlooked. 
The texture of the hay is fine in quality and equal in 
feeding value to Red Top, the taller Fescues and 
Brome. It can be grown on many Soil types, but pro- 
duces best on moist, heavy land. Profitable seed crops 
are taken in many localities with yields 
averaging from 300 to 400 lbs. per acre. 
ITEM The usual rate of seeding varies from 12 
N 143 to 20 lbs. per acre depending upon the pur- 
o. pose for which it is to be used.. It is well 
GREEN adapted to shady areas and is used quite 
PRICE LIST often in lawn grass mixtures. Stands gen- 
erally persist from 4 to 9 years depending 
upon management and weather conditions. 
Meadow Fescue is economical to sow and will greatly 
increase pasture and hay yields. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
FAST GROWING—ANNUAL 
A fast growing Grass that can be sown early in the 
spring, making sufficient growth for pasture and graz- 
ing early in the summer. Excellent for thickening worn 
out pastures. It is especially useful in establishing 
cover for controlling erosion and excessive washing on 
hilly ground while the slower growing perennial 
Grasses are becoming established. It is widely adapted 
and can be grown on practically any type of soil. Do- 
mestic Rye Grass is used extensively in lawn mixtures 
as it provides a green turf in a very short time. When 
sown by itself, use about 25 to 30 lbs. per acre on a firm 
seed bed:and cover lightly. If sown with other Grasses, 
it can be proportioned as desired. In respect to nutritive 
value, early growth and productiveness, it far surpasses 
Perennial Rye Grass. It can be pastured 
} throughout the summer and recovers well 
after cutting or grazing. Use it in or- 
ITEM chards, lawns and meadows for early pas- 
No 128 ture and cover. Our seed is strictly top 
® quality and guaranteed to please you. Rye 
GREEN Grass under normal conditions will not 
PRICE LIST live over the winter and is considered as 
an annual Grass.
