Annual descriptive catalogue : seed & Nursery stock Massachusetts Boston Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. 5° JOSEPH BRECK & SONS (Corporation). Red Top. Perennial Bye Grass. Rhode Island Bent (Agrostis canina). Root creeping; perennial; flowers in July. A most valu- able permanent grass, largely used in New England for pastures and for lawns. For the latter purpose it is often sown by itself, and if cheapness is an object per- haps it is as good as could be sown, but we recommend the lawn mixture wherever practicable. Soil and treat- ment same as for Red Top (A. vulgaris). (Per bushel, 10 lbs.) Fancy or clean seed, per bushel, 40 lbs. Rough Stalked Meadow Grass (Poa trivialisJ. Root fibrous; perennial. This grass is valuable on account of its quick growth, productiveness, and nutri- tive qualities. Grows in perfection on moist, rich soils, and is also well adapted to ground shaded by trees. Grows early in the spring, and continues green until late in the fall. As it delights in shelter, its produce is always much greater when sown with other grasses. Cattle, sheep, and horses show a great par- tiality for it, and the pasture is generally eaten barest where this grass predominates. Does not thrive well on dry soils. ( Per bushel, 14 lbs.) Perennial Rye {Lolhim perenne.) A very valuable grass; arrives early at maturity and produces a good supply of herbage, of which cattle are very fond. It grows freely on almost any soil, and shows a very early spring growth. Although a periennial grass, the root will not live over three or four years, and unless the plant is allowed to reproduce from self-sown seed it will die out in about that time. This is an objection to its extensive use for permanent pastures, but for hay crops it may be introduced to good advantage along with other grasses and clovers. ( Per bushel, 24 lbs.) Hard
