Grasses for Pasture and Lawns 
SUDAN GRASS 
SUDAN GRASS—The heaviest-yielding, most drouth-resisting hay grass 
ever introduced. Sudan Grass combines all the good features of Johnson 
Grass and has none of the objections. Sudan Grass is sown in the 
spring, as soon as danger of frost is past, either broadcast or in rows bo 
that it can be cultivated. If in rows, 3 y 2 feet apart, 5 to 6 pounds to 
the acre will be required ; if sown broadcast, 15 to 20 pounds. It stools 
freely and often from 80 to 100 plants may be found coming from one 
seed. As a drouth-resister, it has no equal, and may be depended upon 
when all other grasses succumb to dry weather. It may be mowed or 
cut with binder; the latter method is preferred, as Sudan Grass cures 
admirably well in shocks. Lb., 25c, postpaid. Write for prices in larger 
quantities. 
Write for lowest market prices when ready to buy. 
TIMOTHY—The most popular, nutritious, and salable hay grass. There 
are better grasses for pasture, but none for hay. Grazing close does not 
injure the second year’s crop. Write for prices, stating quantity. Lb., 35c, 
postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—An excellent pasture and lawn grass, 
succeeding best on limestone land, but does well on stiff or clay soils. It 
is rather sensitive to heat, but not to cold weather, and on this account 
does best in the spring, fall or winter. Sow in the fall or spring at the 
rate of 2 or 3 bushels to an acre. Lb., 50c, postpaid. 
MEADOW FESCUE or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—We regard this as 
one of the most valuable grasses as it adapts itself to different conditions 
of soil and climate. Especially suited for permanent pasture; also fine 
for hay. It gives a large amount of early and late pasture. It is a per¬ 
sistent grower; its roots penetrate deeply; it does well on wet or dry 
bottoms, hillsides, gravelly clay, and loamy lands. It never freezes out 
or winter-kills and is not easily affected by drouth. Sow 16 to 25 pounds 
per acre. Lb., 35c, postpaid. 
RED TOP—Grows well in all soils, whether sandy, thin, dry lands 
or rich, wet soils. It is one of the most satisfactory grasses that can 
be sown ; a fine pasture grass and is well suited for meadows. It sends 
out shoots at the base that take root at every joint, forming a dense, 
thick sod. Sow 10 pounds to the acre. Lb., 40c, postpaid. 
DALLIS GRASS 
DALLIS GRASS—In the experience of agricultural men 
throughout the South this plant may be acclaimed the “king 
of pasture grasses” because it comes nearer growing the 
year round than any other grass, whether in mild winter 
or dry summer; stock prefer it, fatten better, stops washed 
places quicker, and when well sodded it will give more 
high-class grazing than any other grass we know. Grows 
freely with Black Medic, Lespedeza and Bermuda. When 
well sodded and closely grazed it largely chokes out objec¬ 
tionable weeds. This grass is a rapid grower except in cold 
weather but as soon as a few mild days follow a freeze, it 
roots immediately and sends up new leaves. Gives fastest 
growth on most soils and satisfactory results on dry hill 
land, also. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Lb., 50c; postpaid. 
Write for prices on quantities. 
BERMUDA GRASS—Bermuda is a Southern grass. It 
delights in sunshine and warmth. It is extensively culti¬ 
vated in this section of the country for lawns. It is a 
small, creeping, hardy perennial, which thrives on nearly 
all our soils, though, like other grasses, it gives better 
results on richer soils. Bermuda grass is very valuable 
for pasture, as well as for hay crops. It grows vigorously 
during the hot summer months when other grasses are 
parched and dead. It is very difficult to eradicate when 
once established. The seed should be planted in the spring. 
Seed requires 30 to 60 days to germinate. The ground 
should be well prepared with a good, firm seed bed, as 
the seed is small and is seeded broadcast at the rate 
of 10 pounds per acre. Do not cover more than half 
an inch. The seeding should not be done too early, as 
the seed will not germinate if sown before the weather 
and ground have become warm. Lb., 50c, postpaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS-HULLED—Ordinary Bermuda seed is 
sometimes very slow to germinate. This year we are offer¬ 
ing hulled Bermuda Seed which will germinate in a week to 
ten days. Price on hulled seed 60c per pound; 10 lbs., $5.50, 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of the most valuable 
and widely known of all pasturage grasses, coming in 
early in the spring and remaining green later in the 
fall than any other. It grows about 2 y 2 feet high, pro¬ 
ducing an immense quantity of leaves and forage. Sow 
1% bushels to an acre, either spring or fall. Lb., 40c, 
postpaid.
