Your cheapest feed is a good pasture. Ladino Clover, Orchard 
Grass, Alta Fescue, Kentucky 31 Fescue, and Lespedeza will

GRASSES AND CLOVERS 
CONTINUED 
Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata). Most used mm permanent 
meadows, for pasture or mowing. Very hardy, thriving in nearly 
all climates and soils. The hay ts of excellent quality and will en- 
dure considerable shade. Cutting should be done while in flower, 
as stalks tend to mature hard. Bushel weighs 14 pounds. Sow 35 
pounds to the acre. Lb. 90c; 5 Ibs. $4.25; 10 Ibs. $8.00, postpaid. 
Randall. See Meadow Fescue. : ‘ : : 
Red Top, or Herd’s Grass (Agrostis vulgaris). While this hardy 
native perennial grass does best on moist soils, it will do well on a 
variety of soils, even in dry situations. Sown alone or in mixture, 
it makes a very fine permanent pasture. Also used in lawn mixtures. 
Bushel weighs 40 pounds. Sow 15 pounds to the acre. Lb. $1.50; 
5 Ibs. $7.00; 10 Ibs. $13.00, postpaid. 
Rye, English Perennial (Lolium perenne). Succeeds well on almost 
all cultivated soils and produces a strong growth four to five weeks 
after sowing. Bushel weighs 28 pounds. Sow 50 pounds to the acre. 
Lb. 55c; 5 Ibs. $2.50; 10 Ibs. $4.50, postpaid. 3 
Rye, Italian (Lolium multiflorum). While lasting only one year, 
Domestic Rye Grass, a rapid-growing and productive grass, 1s 
coming into more general use for winter and spring grazing and 
for beautiful winter Jawns. Bushel weighs 24 pounds. Sow 50 pounds 
to the acre. Lb. 45c; 5 Ibs. $1.25; 10 Ibs. $2.40, postpaid. 
Rough-Stalk Meadow (Poa trivialis). A fine-leaved grass, and one 
of the few varieties that thrive in shady situations. Resistant to 
drought and largely used in shady lawn grass mixtures. Bushel 
weighs 25 pounds. Sow 35 pounds to the acre. Lb. $1.50; 5 Ibs. 
$7.00; 10 Ibs. $13.50, postpaid. ; 
Timothy (Pbhleum pratense). This well-known grass succeeds best in 
strong, rich clay soils but yields well on any land not excessively 
dry and sandy. Generally sown by itself, but often mixed with 
clover and red top. Bushel weighs 40 pounds. Sow 15 pounds to 
the acre. Lb. 65c; 5 Ibs. $3.00; 10 Ibs. $5.50, postpaid. 
Zoysia 
Meyer Strain Z-52 
A vigorous, spreading summer grass that remains green from 
April to November but turns brown like Bermuda Grass with 
the first killing frost. It comes in 2-inch, round plugs that are 
usually spaced 8 inches each way. It should be planted m April 
or May in ground that has been well prepared, limed and fertilized. 
If kept free from weeds it will make considerable growth the first 
season and under normal conditions will cover the ground the 
following summer. When once well established, it will crowd out 
weeds and crab grass. The plugs come in cartons of 50 (weighing 
11 Ibs.) for $5.00; or in cartons of 100 (weighing 20 Ibs.) for $10.00,

CLOVERS 
On all items below, write for prices in larger quantities 
Alfalfa or Lucerne (Medicago sativa). One can hardly estimate the 
value of Alfalfa where it succeeds; the yield per acre each season Is 
generally four cuttings of about two tons each. The hayis very palat- 
able, and the feeding value has been estimated to be worth nearly 
twice that of the very best Timothy. Alfalfa will not succeed in 
acid soil; it should be sown only in deep, well-drained, loamy sweet 
soil. Cutting should be done as blooming begins. Bushel weighs 
60 pounds. Sow 30 pounds to the acre. Write for prices. 
Alfalfa, Williamsburg. A new high-yielding strain. This new 
Alfalfa was developed at the Williamsburg Experiment Station, 
and in trials at Virginia experiment stations outyielded all other 
varieties. Write for prices. 
Alfalfa, Kansas. U. S. Verified Origin. Write for prices. 
Alfalfa, Oklahoma. U. S. Verified Origin. Write for prices. 
Alsike (Trifolium bybridum). A very hardy variety, which will with- 
stand extremes of heat, drought and cold better than any other 
Clover. Because of its tendency to lie down on the ground and its 
somewhat bitter taste, it should always be sown in mixture with 
other Clovers and grasses. Does well on soil that is too acid or 
moist for other Clovers. Bushel weighs 60 pounds. Sow 12 pounds 
to the acre. Write for prices. 
Crimson (Trifolium incarnatum). This valuable annual variety 
grows from 1% to 3 feet high and has long, cone-shaped, dark red 
blossoms. The stem is smaller than that of Red Clover and is apt 
to fall over unless supported by rye or some stronger plant. Sowing 
is begun im late July and continues until the last of October. Farther 
south it can be sown later. A common practice Is to sow it in fur- 
rows of corn and cotton fields at the time of the last cultivation. 
A mixture of rye and Clover makes good winter pasture. Bushel 
weighs 60 pounds. Sow 20 pounds to the acre. Write for prices. 
Ladino. The wonderful pasture Clover. A mammoth strain of 
White Clover that grows twice as large as ordinary White 
Dutch Clover. It is a long-lived perennial with very deep tap- 
root; the stems run along on the ground, taking root. It is 
excellent for grazing and will also produce a large crop of 
palatable hay. Bushel weighs 60 pounds. Sow 4 to 5 pounds 
per acre. It makes an ideal pasture when sown with orchard 
grass. Sow 10 or 12 pounds of orchard grass and 2 or 3 pounds 
Ladino Clover. Write for prices.
