Also called June Grass, Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass, Green Meadow Grass, and Spear Grass. Botanical, Poa pratensis. German, Wiesen Rispengras. French, Paturin des pres. Perennial. Time of flowering, June. Height, 10 to 16 inches. This valuable grass is suited to a variety of soils, from an aver- age dry one to moist meadows. It is ex- ceedingly popular in most parts of the country as a pasture grass. It is very pro- ductive, unusually early, and presents a beautiful green ap- pearance in early spring, while other grasses are yet dor- mant. It furnishes delicious food for all kinds of stock all through the season— unless thereshould be a protracted drought, which would cause it to slowly dry up—un- til the fall rains, when it springs forth and grows luxuriantly, and furnishes pas- turage until frozen up in winter. Kentucky blue grass. In Kentucky and similar latitudes, when allowed its full fall growth, it makes fine winter pasture, and sheep, mules and horses will paw off the snow and get plenty to live on without other food. It makes a splendid lawn grass, forming a thick turf, and being of very even growth, producing only one flowering stem a year, while many other grasses continue to shoot up flower stalks throughout the season. Kentucky Blue Grass also makes hay of excellent quality, but the yield for this purpose is not equal to some other grasses. Sow (if alone) 3 bushels per acre. Though offered at the standard weight of 14 lbs. per bushel, we keep nothing but fancy recleaned seed, free from chaff, the natural weight of which is 20 to 25 lbs. per measured bushel.
