We consider this mixture better than straight Blue 
Grass. It is made up principally of Kentucky Blue 
Grass,- White Clover, and some other grasses that 
will grow rapidly and make a good showing imme- 
diately. These coarser grasses will also protect the 
Blue Grass and let it get a good start. 
The Kentucky Blue Grass and White Clover will 
eventually drive out the other grasses and make a 
fine lawn. This Lawn Grass is made just as good as 
we know how to make it, and we have had. forty years' 
experience with grass seeds.

Bermuda Grass 
(CYNODON DACTYLON) 
t Bermuda Grass, on account of its wonderful ability 
to withstand dry weather, is being planted more and 
more in Oklahoma and the dry sections of other 
Western States. Kentucky Blue Grass makes the 
most beautiful lawns in the world but this grass re- 
quires abundant water and a great deal of care. 
Bermitda Grass will remain green all summer with 
practically no rain or watering. A lawn of Bermuda 
Grass here in Lawrence remained bright green all 
during the drought of 1916 without any watering. 
It makes a beautiful lawn of a light green color, and 
when once established requires no care except cut- 
ting. It will stand any amount of tramping and 
makes a very heavy, dense mat. 
• Part of the lawn of the Capitol Building at Topeka 
is planted to Bermuda Grass. The Kansas Farmer 
writes of this as follows: 
"Mention has several times been made in Kansas 
Farmer of the Bermuda planted in the lawn of the 
State Capitol here in Topeka. The planting was done 
a year ago last spring. Apparently a considerable 
number of the plants were killed last winter. How- 
ever, the grass came on this spring and at this writ- 
ing (September after the extremely hot and dry 
summer of 1913), the plots are thickly covered. These 
are the only green plots in the four blocks composing 
the State House lawn. The Bermuda has not been 
watered. The remarkable manner in which the Ber- 
muda thickened after having suffered much from the 
rigors of last winter and the manner in which it has 
kept green demonstrated to us the possibilities of 
practical value of Bermuda Grass for this section 
of the state." 
Bermuda Grass can be started by sowing the seed 
at the rate of from 3 to 5 pounds per acre or by 
setting out the roots. Neither should be done until 
the soil is warm. - The- root's should be set about 18 
inches apart and then watered frequently for about 
six weeks. After.. they get a good start they require 
no artificial watering. 
It is a valuable grass to grow over and bind the 
most arid soil. It is valuable for pasture and also 
as hay crop. Price of seed, 45c per lb. Roots, per 
sack, $2.25. 
Italian Rye 
(Lolium Italicum.) Surpasses the perennial rye 
grass in earliness and nutrition and rapid growth. 
Indispensable for alternating. Lasts only two years, 
and of no use for permanent pasture. Particular as 
to soil, a moist, tenacious, fertile and of medium 
consistency being considered the best. On such it is 
considered one of the best grasses cut green. Sow 
30 to 40 pounds to the acre. Lb., 20c. 
Tall Meadow Oat 
(A vena Elatior.) The roots of this descend deeply 
into the sub-soil, enabling it to withstand a protracted 
drought, and it is green all seasons of the year. Its 
early growth in spring makes it equal to rye pasture. 
It grows quickly after mowing, giving a denser and 
more succulent aftermath than any of the present 
popular cultivated grasses. Sow broadcast 25 to 30 
pounds of seed to the acre. Lb., 45c. 
Perennial English Rye 
(Lolium Perenne.) While this has long been highly 
esteemed in Europe and Australia, it has but recently 
been recognized by our western ranchers. It is 
worthy of all the praise given. As a pasture grass 
it grows thick and withstands drought reasonably 
well. We have reports of its success as far south 
as Mexico City and in the far west, also in Old 
Mexico it is used extensively for lawns. Our new 
crop is carefully cleaned, and may be depended upon, 
^or pasture sow in spring 25 to 30 pounds to the acre. 
For lawns 60 to 75 pounds to the acre. Lb., 20c. "
