Per lb., 30c: 100 lbs., $ FINE LEAVED FESCUE. (Festuca tenuifolia.) One of the best of all grasses for sheep, and should be iised in all mixtures for per- manent pastures. It is still finer than the Hard Fescue, and, like it, succeeds on virgin soil. Sow 20 pouncte per acre, if possible just before rain. Per 45c. MEADOW FESCUE, OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS. (Festuca Pratensis.) A per- ennial variety, growing from three to four feet high. It roots deep, and on this ac- count resists drought better than most grasses. It suc- ceeds in any ordinary soil, and well repays the labor of deep plowing and thorough harrowing in preparing the land. It yields a heavy crop of superior hay. and is one of the best kinds for pas-^ ture. as it comes early and remains green until late. It is valuable to mix with other kinds, as it sometimes suc- ceeds where others fail. Use 20 pounds per acre when sown alone. Per lb., 35c: 100 $ ????????????? ????^^^?????????????^.
