COVER CROPS FOR GREEN MANURING 
These add valuable humus to your soil, 
Domestic Ryegrass. This makes a wonderful cover 
crop. It is quick growing and forms a heavy matted 
root system and thick grassy sod. If you sow 1 or 2 Ibs. 
per 1000 sq. ft. from midsummer to early fall for green 
manuring you can turn the sod under early the follow- 
ing spring and add a lot of humus to your soil. To 
hasten the rotting down of the sod apply 5 Ibs. of 
Nitrate of Soda per 1000 sq. ft. before turning the 
sod under. As Ryegrass makes very little growth until 
after frost it may be broadcast right over your vege- 
table garden when you make your last cultivation. It 
also makes a good temporary lawn sowing 5 Ibs. per 
1000 sq. ft. at any time of the year. Lb. 40 cts.; 5 lbs. 
$1.50; 10 Ibs. $2.80; 25 Ibs. $6.25; 100 Ibs. $25. 
prevent erosion and improve appearance. 
Perennial Ryegrass, English. (Lolium perenne). Use- 
ful on slopes for its quick growth and tenacious roots. 
It forms a compact, coarse, very persistent sward that 
is bright green all season. Not recommended for 
permanent lawns as it is quite coarse but is very val- 
uable for temporary lawns at low expense and is often 
used in other places where an inexpensive permanent 
cover is required. Sow 4 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. Lb. 45 cts.; 
5 Ibs. $2; 10 Ibs. $3.75; 25 Ibs. $8.75; 100 Ibs. $35.
