FOR HAY AND PASTURES 
/ Na Kecommended principally for fall planting but can also be 
i V / planted in spring. It is one of the quickest growing of all 
grasses, has very tender stalks and leaves, and in addition, abundant growth. This grass is an annual so 
never becomes a pest. Many plant it by itself, but it is also very valuable when planted in mixtures. In 
Bermuda and other lawns it is valuable during the winter. When the other grasses are dead or dormant 
the Italian comes up and keeps your lawn green. Sow about 45 pounds per acre. Pound, postpaid, 35 
cents. Not prepaid: 10 pounds or over, about 20 cents per pound. Write for prices.

the advantage of lasting for years. It makes very heavy leaf growth so is fine for pasture or hay. This grass 
does well in mixtures, and is wonderful for the lawn. Use it in Bermuda sod to keep the lawn green in 
the fall, winter and early spring, when the Bermuda is dormant: Being perennial it is especially adapted 
for pastures and lawns and for hay by itself, as well as in mixtures with grasses such as "Orchard” and 
“Tall Meadow Oat”. Sow about 45 pounds per acre. Pound, postpaid, 35 cents. Not prepaid: 10 pounds 
or over, about 20 cents per pound. Write for prices. 
RAfmiiHsi While looked upon by many as a pest, it is really one of our most 
®^*^*****^** AaTcIaa ^ HUi vQU J valuable grass plants for the South, and in the Lower South espe- 
cially. It is the only sure pasture grass for sandy soils ; grows on all kinds, from heaviest clay to the light- 
est sand and furnishes abundant pasturage. No other grass will give you so great returns with as little 
fertilizer and care, and Bermuda withstands drought and scorching summer sun better than any other 
variety. Seed should be sown at the rate of 5 or 6 pounds per acre between March 1st and June 1st. Seed 
will not germinate when ground is cold. Under favorable conditions it requires from 20 to 30 days to ger- 
minate. *4 pound packet, 25c; lb., Hoc; postpaid. Ten pounds or over, not prepaid, about 60c per pound.

Hastings' Evergreen Lawn Grass(No. 550) 
used on the lawns here in Atlanta for the last ten years. LaAvn-making has been a serious problem in this 
part of the South, the trouble Avith varieties like Kentucky Blue Grass being that they will not stand more 
than one full year, going to pieces under the heat and drought the second summer. After careful experi- 
menting we made up this mixture and it has stood the test of ten years’ planting and AvhereA'er gj-ouiul 
has been properly prepared this has been the most successful in permanency of any of the laAvn mixtures 
in this climate. It makes a very quick shoAV and soon becomes a beautiful A^elA'ety laAA'n, on AA'ell prepared 
soil. Stands summer heat and drought without serious injury, coming out again in good shape as soon as 
the rains begin again. Pound, 60 cents; 3 pounds, $1.60; postpaid. Not prepaid: 10-lb. lots, 45c per pound; 
100-lb. lots, 40c per lb. This mixture is generally soAvn at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds per acre. 
Hastings' Permanent Pasture Mixture ( No. 55 1 ) Yhe 12"?^ 
grass may or may not do better than another for your particular type. With this in mind AA'e have com- 
posed a mixture of Blue Grass, Orchard, Meadow Fescue. Red Top or Herds, Tall MeadoAV, Italian Rye, 
Red Fescue, Crested Dog’s Tail and English or Perennial Rye Grasses, carefully proportioned to give the 
very best results on pasture lands. 
In Tennessee, North Carolina, the northern sections of Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina 
it is possible to plant a mixture of grasses that will giA'e fairly permanent results and for this northern 
part of the Southern States and further North we recommend Hastings’ Permanent Pasture Mixture 
planted very early in the spring or in the fall. If not already rich and in fine condition soil should be 
made so by the use of manures and fertilizing and the soil surface worked smooth and eA^en, ridges lev- 
eled and ditches and gullies filled in. 
There is no Bermuda or Johnson Grass in this mixture. Soav 35 pounds of Permanent Mixture per acre, 
and it is most advisable to plant about one pound of Red Clover Avith eA'ery five pounds of this mixture of 
nine pasture grasses. Clover seed cannot well be mixed in the grass seeds eA'enly, so buy it separately. 
Pound, 50c; 5 pounds, $2.25; postpaid. Not prepaid: 10-ib. lots, 40c per pound; 100-lb. lots, 35c per pound.
