Its densely creeping root stalks, spreading habit, and smooth, even growth, fine texture and rich green color render it one of the very best grasses for lawns. It forms a close turf, starts very early in the spring, and lasts till frost. It succeeds in almost any soil, dry, rocky, sandy or gravelly, and stands long-continued dry weather and hot suns. It takes, however, two or three years to become well established, and should, therefore, only be sown in connection with other grasses.

Height 9 to 18 inches. Fourteen pounds to the bushel, Sow 3 bushels to the acre. Per lb., 30c; per 100 lbs., $ Orchard Grass. Kentucky Blue Grass. (Dactylis glomerata.)

Per lb., 30c; per 100 lbs., $ Hm\m Bronte Grass. Russian forage Grass. (Bromds inermis.) This Bromus, on account of its strong perennial char- acter, and its unusual drouth-resisting powers, promises to revolutionize the stock industry in the semi-arid re- gions of the Northwest. It thrives well on dry, loose soil, a
