Catalogue of High-Class Seeds. 47 Per lb. 0 80 GRASS SEEDS-continued. Per lb. Aira flexuosa (Wood Bair Grass). Delights in high and rocky hills; is of little agricultural value, except for sheep pasture. 30 lbs. to the acre $0 20 Alopecurus pratensis (Meadow Fox-tail Grass). One of the very best grasses for permanent pasture, and thrives to perfection on lands of an intermediate quality as to moisture and dryness. It also stands the high summer heat without bui-ning. 25 lbs. to the acre 25 Anthoxanthum odoratum (True Perennial Sweet Vernal Grass). For a mixture with pasture grasses, it is valuable on account of its vernal growth, and also for continuing to throw up root foliage until late in the autumn. For meadows its chief merit is the fragrant odor which the leaves emit when partially dried, thus sweetening hay. It is a vegetable condiment, rather than a grass of much nutri- tive value. From 2 to 5 lbs. to the acre when mixed with other sorts 40 Anthoxanthum odoratum puelli (Annual Sweet Vernal Grass). Much smaller than the perennial, and of much less value, lasting one year only. 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre 20 Avena elatior (Tall Meadow Oat Grass). Most valuable for pastures on account of its early and luxuriant growth; it produces an abundant supply of foliage, which is relished by cattle, early and late. 50 lbs. to the acre. (13 lbs. to bushel) 25 Avena flavescens (Yellow Oat Grass). Will not thrive well when sown alone, but with other species it becomes desirable for dry meadows and pastures. About 25 lbs. to the acre 1 00 Beach Crass. See Calamagrostis arenaria. Bermuda Crass (Oynodon dactylon). Suitable only to our south- ern states (where it is very valuable) or the tropics; will not endure fr
