TIMOTHY is one of the most universally known and cultivated
Srasses, especially adapted to cool, moist soils and because the
seed is usually cheap, of high germination and purity it is a
general favorite with farmers. The importance of Timoth
in America is due to its rather remarkable combination oe
qualities as well as its splendid adaptation to the same area
as red clover. It produces good yields, a stand is usually secured easily. We can supply three grades of seed.

ORCHARD GRASS, also known as Cocksfoot, is one
of the earliest grasses to start up in the spring, remains
green during long, hot summers and late into the fall,
It furnishes abundant feed and it is fairly well liked
by stock; it grows in tussocks, and therefore does not
make an even sod, but its roots penetrate to a considerable depth causing it to withstand drought better
than most other grasses on light and dry soils, After
being mown it recovers quickly and yields abundant
pasture. One of its most important advantages Is that
it ripens exactly with red clover and is thus eminently
adapted to sowing with that important leguminous crop.
Its ability to grow in the shade of trees ts likely responsible for its name.
RED TOP on land that is too wet for timothy, is decidedly the best substitute for that grass and is the most
variable of all the cultivated grasses. It will even torive
on land too wet for cultivation, and when sown on upland is strongly drought resistant and is often used for
holding banks to prevent erosion, The best form has
large, erect stems, with broad, coarse leaves. This ts
the one generally grown for hay and pasture and the
seed we offer is of this type.
