OBCHASD GRASS. — One of the best 



grrasses in the South for hay and pasture. 

 Succeeds well in all fertile soils but does 

 best on loamy and moderately stiff uplands. 

 Starts growth very early in the spring and 

 continues well into the winter. A quick 

 grower and relished by stock especially 

 when young, and bears close grazing. It 

 is very easily handled and cured for hay. 

 It is long-lived and has been known to last 

 under good treatment about thirty or forty 

 years; but it can be easily exterminated if 

 the land is wanted for other purposes.

 when in bloom. Price, lb. 40c., postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $3.00, not postpaid.

 any soil. Excellent for lawns, golf courses 

 or pasture purposes on most any soil and 

 grows well on clay uplands. Green all the 

 year in lower Gulf States. It stools heav- 

 ily and is one parent stalk. An excellent 

 pasture grass combined with Japan Clover,

 and close grazing. Planted from November 

 to March, also during Spring. 10 pounds 

 ppr acre. 1 lb., 80c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $7.50,

BERMUDA GRASS. — Almost everybody 

 living in this section of the country knows 

 this grass; it is planted as a lawn grass; 

 and nothing will stand the sun better or 

 will make prettier carpet, when kept short, 

 than this grass. It is also very valuable 

 as a pasture and hay grass. Six pounds 

 will sow an acre. Should be planted from 

 February to June. 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, 

 postpaid. 



KENTUCKY BZ.UE GRASS.— This is the 

 standard grass in America for pastures. 

 Blue grass is the base of practically all 

 grass seed mixtures. It is perhaps a little 

 slower than some other grasses but when 

 once established it is permanent. Sow 25 

 to 30 pounds per acre. Sow in Spring and 

 Fall. 19 lbs. per bu. 1 lb., 60c., postpaid; 

 10 lbs., $5.00, not prepaid. 



TIMOTHY. — As a crop for hay, Timothy 

 is probably unsurpassed by any other grass. 

 It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, 

 especially horses; yields more nutritive 

 matter than any other grass or forage 

 plant. Being an early grass, it is well 

 adapted to Spring and Summer grazing, 

 and if the Fall season is favorable it will 

 grow sufficiently to furnish good Fall 

 grazing, too. Forty-five pounds to the 

 bushel. Sow 10 to 12 pounds to the acre 

 during September to October. Price, lb., 

 40c., postpaid; H "bn., $4.50; bu., $8.50, not

English Bye Grass. 



ENGLISH, OR PERENNIAIi RYE 

 GRASS. — Is largely sown by our landscape 

 gardeners for winter lawns on Bermuda 

 sod. The Bermuda blades being easily af- 

 fected bv frost, become red and rusty look- 

 ing, while English Rye, during Winter, 

 presents a most beautiful appearance, be- 

 ing of a vivid green, and as the Bermuda 

 during April and May makes its appearance 

 it overgrows the English Rye, causing the 

 latter to decay and act as a fertilizer to 

 the existing grass. It's also valuable for 

 permanent pasture as it makes a heavy 

 growth. The Bermuda sod should be 

 mowed a«; closely as possible, scarify the 

 surface thoroughly, broadcast the English 

 Rye on top. rake in and cover with a light 

 soil. Similar to Italian Rye, but a little 

 slower in offgrowth. It should be sown 

 from September to March, at the rate of 

 60 lb=:. per acre. 1 lb., 40c., postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $3.00; 20-lb. bu., $4.50; 100 lbs., $18.00, 

 not prepaid. 



ITALIAN RYE GRASS. — Sown in the 

 Fall, but can also be planted in early 

 Spring. It is one of the quickest growing 

 grasses, has very tender stalks and leaves, 

 and makes an abundant growth. Can be 

 planted alone, but it is also very valuable 

 when planted in combination with other 

 grasses. In Bermuda lawns it is valuable 

 during the winter and until hot weather. 

 When the other grasses are dead or 

 dormant the Italian comes up and keeps 

 j-our lawn green. For lawns it makes the 

 quickest show of any grass and is the 

 best grass for beautiful velvety green 

 lawns throughout the Fall. Winter and 

 until the hot dry Summer weather appears. 

 Scratch in Bermuda sod and have a beauti- 

 ful lawn the year around. Sow about 60 

 pourcis per a'-re. 1 lb., 40c., postpaid; 10 

 lbs., $3.00; 20-lb. bu., $4.50; 100 lbs., $18.00, 

 not pr'paid.
