GRASS SEEDS, Extra Fancy or Solid Seed Red Top, This seed differs from the ordinary Red Top quoted on page 94: in that there is no chaff in it. This grade of Red Top is as clean as timothy seed, and will weigh about thirty-eight pounds to the measured bushel. It is by far the most economical grade of Red Top to use in mixtures or for any pur- pose where this grass is desirable. It should enter largely into all grass mixtures for low land, and for moist or wet soil sown to grass it is indispensable. The value of Red Top is known to manj- farmers who may not be acquainted with this Solid Seed grade, and for this reason we call special attention to Solid Seed Red Top, and would urge all who intend sowing Red Top to get this grade in preference to the ordinary chaff seed. The price per hundred pounds of Solid Seed is much higher than the hundred pound price of the ordinary. But when it is shown that one hundred pounds of Solid Seed sows fourteen acres and one hundred pounds of chaff seed sows only three acres, the difference in price in favor of the Solid Seed is plainly seen.
