. 1902 vegetables, flowers, grains & fruits : 22nd annual catalogue / Ford Seed Nursery stock Ohio Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. 46 We Quote Choice Grades of Grass and Clover GRASS SEED. PENCILARIA. PEXCILARIA is unexcelled, if equaled, for its quick growth, immense size and fine quality, by any forage plant. The seed should be sown thinly in rows 2-i to 36 inches apart, in May. It grows rapidly and stools out surprisingly, a single seed often pro- ducing 30 to 40 stalks. Its growth is truly luxuri- ant, the broad foliage resembling corn leaves. If allowed to develop the stalks will attain a height of 12 to 14 feet and produce cylindrical heads from 12 to 20 inches in length closely set with thousands of tiny seeds about one-eighth the size of a grain of wheat and are greatly relished by poultry. If we can imagine a field of timothy 12 to 14 feet high it will give us an idea of what Pencilaria looks like when nearing maturity. The most profitable way of growing it is to cut it when 3 or 4 feet high and it will quickly produce another crop, so that from 4 to 6 cuttings may be made in a single season; by treating it in this way it makes excellent hay, which is relished by all kinds of stock. It is also valu- able for feeding in a green state. We have secured a quantity of this seed and hope to furnish a small quantity at least to each of our customers.
