Kentucky Blue Grass 
Kentucky Blue Grass may be sown spring or fall. 
One of the best grasses for pasture mixtures, it has 
many advantages for general purposes and is extremely 
hardy and stands severest droughts. Comes on early 
m spring and grows late in fall. We recommend it as 
the grass every stock-raiser wants. Fine for pasture 
as It forms a tough, closely knit sod that is not injured, 
but benefited, by trampling of grazing animals. It 
requires a good soil containing some lime to yield 
profitable crops. When sown alone, sow 20 to 30 pounds 
per acre. See Price-List. 
Kentucky 31 Fescue 
This is sometimes referred to as the wonder grass. 
It is a deep-rooted grass and does well in hot summer 
weather. It can be used in pasture mixtures and will 
stand quite a lot of trampling. Also recommended in 
lawn mixtures for athletic fields. When seeding alone, 
sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. See Price-List. 
Lawn Grass, Our Finest Mixture 
Our first-grade awn grass mixture contains a blend 
of grasses that do best in sunny areas or in slight shade. 
This mixture is made mostly of permanent grasses. 
These are fine bladed and have a good green color. 
Combined, they form a very good sod. The grasses 
found in this mixture are Creeping Red Fescue, Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass, Red-Top and Bent Grass. This 
mixture does NOT contain any Rye Grass. One pound 
covers 250 to 300 square feet. See Price-List. 
Lawn Grass, A Good Turf Mixture 
This is a good mixture for playgrounds or any area 
that takes a lot of trampling. This mixture produces a 
good lawn but contains more of the coarse-blade 
grasses, Including Kentucky 31 Fescue, Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Creeping Red Fescue, Poa Trivialis, Red-Top, 
Rye Grass and White Clover. One pound covers 250 
square feet. See Price-List. : 
Brome Grass 
As a pasture or hay, Smooth Brome Grass scarcely 
has an equal in the area of its best adaptation. Growth 
begins early in the spring and continues through the 
summer if enough moisture is available. Its good vol- 
ume of leafy forage is relished by all classes of livestock. 
Brome Grass fits weil nto a grass-lezgume seeding. 
They give greater forage yield and protection to the soil 
than either the Brome Grass or the alfalfa would have 
given if seeded alone, and the danger of bloat to grazing 
animals is less. Brome Grass should be sown separately, 
for It is very difficult to sow it mixed with alfalfa. Can 
be mixed with grain or with fertilizer. Seven or 8 pounds 
peracre with 10 to 12 pounds of alfalfa are recommended 
rates for seeding. See Price-List. 
Permanent Pasture Mixture 
Good pasture is the foundation of the riches of a farm. 
One of the most valuable crops for successful stock and 
dairy farming is abundant pasture. Our Mixture yields 
a very heavy crop of the finest and most succulent 
grasses early in the season until late in the fall, and is 
mtended especially for seeding pasture-grounds. 
Several varieties are used in this Mixture, a combina- 
tion of grasses of different habits and seasons of growth. 
They can be depended on to produce a turf that will 
stand the trampling of stock, and as the different 
grasses have different habits of growth, they grow closer 
together, their roots interlacing, covering the soil and 
forming a protection from the extreme heat, cold and 
dry weather. These mixtures are recommended for 
either spring- or fall-sowing. If sown in the spring sow 
with a nurse crop; about 1 bushel of oats or barley per 
acre is very desirable. 
Two mixtures are made: One for well-drained up- 
land, called Highland Mixture, and the other for low- 
land meadows which is called Lowland Mixture. Both 
mixtures contain Ladino Clover, plus six or seven other 
grasses and legumes including some Red-Top and Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass. Sow 20 pounds per acre. See Price- 
| Orchard Grass 
This makes a desirable grass on account of its quick 
growth and valuable aftermath. It starts growing 
earlier in the spring and stands dry weather better 
than any other grass. We would recommend it mostly 
for pasture, and more especially when sown alone. 
May be sown either spring or fall on any kind of soil. 
Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. See Price-List. 
S-37 Orchard Grass 
The S-37, by being two weeks later in maturity, 
does not start off so fast in the spring nor does it attain 
such rank growth early. It does come along later 
when other grasses are starting to go down hill and at 
that time Is right at the peak of its tonnage output. 
This is the best recommended variety to sow with 
alfalfa or red clover, because it does not get too old by 
the time the first cutting of alfalfa or clover is made. 
Also it has been found that ladino clover seems to 
establish itself better with S-37, because it does not get 
much competition early. 
When sown alone, sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
When used with alfalfa or clover, sow 4 to 6 pounds of 
S-37 per acre. See Price-List. 
Red-Top 
This is a valuable grass for either hay or pasture. It 
ranks second to timothy in production of hay and 
makes excellent pasture and good crops of fine hay. 
Can be sown in spring or fall. It is hardy and will 
make a heavy sod, and it should be a large constituent 
part of all mixtures intended for permanent pasture. 
If sown alone, use 10 to 12 pounds of seed per acre.
