GRASS SEEDS. 
RHODES GRASS, OR EAST COAST 
GRASS.—10 to 12 tons of hay per acre per 
year. Makes splendid hay. A great drought 
resister. Rapid grower. Withstands rain 
and drought. Its growth and drought-re- 
sisting qualities are truly marvelous. It 
is a quick grower, with creeping roots. The 
growth is luxuriant, growing about four 
feet high, and producing a very heavy 
crop of hay to the acre. Stock of all kinds 
eat it readily, either green, chaffed or as 
hay, and thrive well on it. Grows on any 
soil, producing seed the summer through. 
Sow thinly and lightly. Planted from Sep- 
tember to November and from February to 
April, 8 pounds to the acre. 1 I1hb., 90c.; 5 
lbs., $4.00, postpaid. 
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 Ib., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50, 
postpaid.

Blue Grass. 
ENGLISH, 
GRASS.—Is largely sown by our landscape 
gardeners for winter lawns on Bermuda 
sod. The Bermuda blades being easily af- 
fected by frost, become red and rusty look- 
ORB PERENNIAL RYE 
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. The Bermuda sod 
should be mowed as closely as possible, 
scarify the surface thoroughly, broadcast 
the English Rye on top, rake in and cover 
with a light soil. It should be sown from 
September to March, at the rate of 60 lbgY. 
per acre. 1 Ib. 35c,, postpaid; 10 Ibs., 
$2.50; 20 lb. bu., $4.50; 100 lbs., $18.00, not 
prepaid.

ditions under which it should be sown.

to your lawn, watering when necessary and 
during dry spells frequently and you will 
have the finest and greenest lawn. Twenty

PASPALUM DILATATUM OR DALLAS 
GRASS.—Sow eight to ten pounds to the 
acre. Has given splendid results in the 
South. It is an ideal grass for dairy farm- 
ers, as it produces enormous quantities of 
fresh, green, juicy feed during the hottest 
weather. It also keeps green during the 
Winter. The seed may be sown at any 
time during the Fall or early Spring. Ger- 
minates slowly and requires from three to 
four weeks of warm, moist weather to 
sprout. Plant from November to March, 
8 pounds per acre. Price, 1b., $1.25, post- 
paid; 10 lbs., $10.00, not prepaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS.—tThis 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. 1 1b,, 80c., postpaid; 10 Ibs., $7.00, 
not prepaid. 
CARPET GRASS—(Paspalum Platy- 
caule.) (Petit Gazon.) (Axinopus Com- 
pressus.)—This grass grows tenaciously in 
any soil. Excellent for lawns or pasture 
purposes on the Gulf Coast and all sandy 
lands, and grows equally as well on clay 
uplands. Green all the year in lower Gulf 
States. It stools heavily and is one parent 
stalk. Planted from November to March, 
also during Spring. 10 pounds per acre. 
1 tbs 80c., postpaid; 10 lbs., $7.00, not pre- 
pal .

to 2 feet. This grass needs little descrip- 
tion. It is excellently adapted to wet poor 
soil. Sow about 30 pounds per acre. Sow 
from October to-February. 1 Ib. 50c., post- 
paid; 10 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, Ihb., 
40c., postpaid; 144 bu., $4.00; bu., $7.50, not 
prepaid. 
FORAGE CROPS. 
More forage should be grown in 
the South. Green food for stock can 
be had all Winter if suitable grasses 
are chosen, while other sorts with- 
stand drought and give pasture in 
midsummer.
