FIELD AND AGRICULTURAL Superior Mired Lawn Grass. Superior Mixed Lawn Grass.—Is a mixture of the best qual- ity of such grasses as will withstand the heat and dry weather of our summers. The soil should be put in good condition before sowing, and the lawn kept free from weeds the first season. The quantity of seed required is °ne pound to every 400 square feet. Lb. 20c, bu. (14 lbs) English Blue Grass or Rye Grass—A very valuable pasture grass, as its long, tender leaves are much relished by __stock of all kinds. Succeeds well even in poor soil, and as its roots penetrate the earth twelve or fifteen inches, it is not affected, except by exceedingly dry weather ; when cured, like Timothy, it yields a very superior qual- ity of hay. Sow one bushel per acre, in spring or fall. Lb. 10c, bu. (24 lbs) $ Tall Meadow Oat Grass {Avena elatior.)—This produces an abundant supply of foliage, and is valuable for pasturage on account of its early and luxuriant growth. It is re- commended for hay and shoots up very quickly after being cut. and produces a thick crop of aftermath, which makes it valuable as a soiling crop. Sow from thirty to forty pounds to the acre. Lb. 20c. bu. (12 lbs.) $ Sweet Vernal Grass (Ant/jxanthum odorcUum). This grass yields but a moderate percentage of herbage. It is re- markable for giving out a pleasant, sweet smell during the process of dying. Sow twenty-five to thirty pounds to the acre. Lb. 20c, bu. (10 lbs.) $ German or Golden Millet.—Not so early as the common mil- let, but yields a much larger crop. Will grow from three to live feet high; the heads are closely condensed; spikes very numerous; seeds golden yellow, round in rough bristly sheaths. The stalks are soft, and readily eaten by all kinds of stock. Twenty-five to thirty-five pounds will sow one acre. Lb
