ORCHARD GRASS.—One of the best 
grasses in the South for hay and pasture. 
Suceeeds 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. 
Sow about 45 pounds per acre and cut 
when in bloom. Price, lh., 40c., postpaid; 10 
lbs., $3.50, not postpaid. 
CARPET GRASS.— (Paspalum Platy- 
caule.) (Petit Gazon.) (Axinopus Com- 
pressus.)—This grass grows tenaciously in 
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, 
spreads rapidly, stands heavy tramping 
and close grazing. Planted from November 
to March, also during Spring. 10 pounds 
per.acre. 1 1b., 75c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $6.00,

wet poor soil. Sow about 30 pounds per 
acre. Sow from October to February. 1 
lb., 45c., postpaid; 16 lbs., $3.50, 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, Ih., 
40c., postpaid; % bu., $4.50; bu., $8.50, not

RYE. 
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 
your 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 
pounds per acre. 1 Ilb., 40c., postpaid; 10

_ RYE (Southern Grown.)—It stools heav- 
ily, can be grazed several times and then 
allowed to go to seed. Cut and feed green; 
has made as much as ten tons of green 
food per acre in five months. It is sown 
from the middle of August until November, 
and then again in the early Spring. The 
main planting time is in the Fall, however, 
as it is more valuable when sown early. It 
is a very hardy plant, withstanding all 

kinds of very cold weather without serious 
injury. Sown both broadcast and in drills; 
1% bushels per acre. The seed should be 
covered no more than two inches. For hogs, 
sow from September 10th to November ist,

WHEAT. 
Write For Quantity Prices. 
CULTURBE.—The best time to plant 
wheat in the Southern States is from the 
middle of October to the middle of Decem- 
ber. The aim in any locality is to give the 
plants a chance to get well established be- 
fore freezing weather sets in. Seed should 
be drilled in rather than broadcasted. The 
“open furrow” system for planting oats 
will answer splendidly for wheat. 
Use commercial fertilizers, at seeding 
time, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 50 pounds 
of muriate of potash, 350 pounds of Cotton- 
seed meal per acre, followed by 75 pounds 
nitrate of soda in the Spring, about 10 days 
before the time for first heads to appear. 
In seeding early use one bushel per acre. 
In late planting, say after November 15, 
youn best use from % to % bushel more 
seed. 
FULTZ WHEAT.—One of the old stand- 
bys, matures early and is a good producer. 
Bearadless. See culture. Price, lh. 25c., 
postpaid; peck, $1.00; bu. 69 lbs., $3.25, not 
prepaid. 
RED MAY WHEAT. We have never 
been able to see where this variety was 
any earlier -and better than the Fultz, 
although many prefer it to that variety, 
claiming great earliness. It is a standard 
variety. Beardless. Price, 1b., 25c., post- 
paid; peck, $1.00; bu. 60 lbs., $3.25, not 
prepaid. 
BUCKWHEAT. 
CULTURE. — Buckwheat is an annual, 
erect in habit, ordinarily growing about 3 
feet high, quite free from interference 
from weeds, plant diseases and insects. 
The crop is well adapted to green manur- 
ing, thrives on quite poor soil grows rap- 
idly, smothers out weeds, puts hard soil in 
a meliow condition and decays quickly 
when plowed under. Prefers a moist, cool 
climate and matures in 8 to 10 weeks. It 
is planted principally for bee keeping. Seed 
is generally sown broadcast. One bushel 
per acre. In Spring and Fall. 
SILVER HULL BUCKWHEAT. — The 
grains are of a beautiful light gray color, 
have thin husks and less prominent cor- 
ners than those of the other sort. The 
flour is of good quality and very nutri- 
tious. 1 Ib., 2Cc., postpaid; % bu., $3.25; 
48 lb. bu., $6.00, not prepaid. 
JAPANESE BUCEWHEAT.— Has been 
raised in the South with good results. It 
is early and very productive. The rich, 
dark brown kernels are twice the size of 
those of Silver Hull and yield a superior 
flour. The plants are of branching char- 
acter, and the stiff straw stands up well.

OATS. 
Oats should be planted for hay making 
during early October, though they may be 
sown as late as the early part of Decem- 
ber, also in early Spring, with the expecta- 
tion of making a fair return. When they 
are to be cut for hay, it is best to cut when 
the grain is in milk, and that will be about
