KENHTKY BLUE GBASS. Orchard Grass (Glaciylis glomorala). This is one of the most valuable and widely known of all pasture grasses, coming early iu the Spring and remaining later in Autumn than any other; it grows about two and a half feet high, producing an immense quantity of leaves and foliage. It is well adapted for sowing under trees or orchards, and very valuable for grazing or for hay. It requires from thirty to forty pounds to sow an acre. Lb., 20c; 100 lbs., Kentucky Blue Gra9S (Poa praiensis). This grass yields, at a very early period of the season, herbage of the most nutritious properties; thrives in moderately dry soils; extensively grown in may parts of the coun- try, but used principally for grass plants and lawns. Sow for lawns, seventy to ninety pounds per acre. Lb., 30c; 100 lbs., $ Millet, German {Panicum Oermanicum var.). An improved variety, yielding a larger crop of seed than the Common Millet. It is also taller than the Common, and yields a heavier crop of hay. The grains or seeds are larger, and of a deeper orange yellow. It will grow on any good agricultural land, and yields heavily when arti- ficial water, if required, can be applied at the proper time. It yields from forty to sixty bushels of seed per acre, which is excellent feed for stock or poultry. For a crop of seed, sow from twelve to fifteen pounds per acre, and for hay, 25 to 30 pounds. Lb., 10c; 100 lbs., $ Mesquite (Holcus lanacus). Valuable on the cleared redwood and pine lands of California and Oregon, giving large crops of hay and good pasture, but not considered as nutritious as some other grasses. Thirty-five pounds to the acre. Lb., 12c; 100 lbs., § Sweet-scented Vernal Grass. This is one of the earliest spring grasses, as well as one of the latest in Autumn, and is also
