CHEROKEE BRAND GRASS SEED—Continued 
No. 400. Red Top Or Herd’s Grass 
A very hardy, native perennial grass well 
adapted for such a variety of situations that 
while succeeding best on moist lands. Red Top 
also flourishes in almost any soil and under all 
conditions, even withstanding hottest climates. 
Because it is perhaps our most permanent pas¬ 
ture grass every good hay and pasture mixture 
sown should contain a liberal quantity of this 
most excellent grass. It remains green for the 
greater part of the year, and its long trailing 
stems from a very close-matting turf that is 
not affected by trampling. Sow 10 or 12 lbs. to 
the acre. 
Postpaid, lb. 25c. 
Not prepaid, 15 c. 
No. 401. Kentucky Blue Grass 
This true perennial combines more true points 
of excellence than any other grass. It is the 
most widely distributed of all native grasses. 
The densely creeping root stock, spreading habit 
and smooth even growth of fine texture and 
richest green color render Kentucky Blue Grass 
highly suitable for producing the rich velvety 
green turf so envied in all good lawns. It forms 
an early close turf in almost any soil, dry, rocky, 
sandy or gravelly, and withstands dry weather 
admirably. It takes several years to establish a 
heavy sod, and should, therefore, be sown with 
other grasses. Soils of Western North Carolina 
should be heavily limed before sowing lawns of 
Blue Grass. It is also most valuable for pas¬ 
tures because of its productiveness and the won¬ 
derful nourishing qualities of the green food. 
Sow 25 to 30 lbs. per acre for pasture and 75 to 
100 lbs. per acre for lawns. 
Postpaid lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.25 ; 10 lbs. $2.35. 
Not prepaid, lb. 25c ; 5 lbs. $1.10 ; 10 lbs. $2.00. 
No. 402. Meadow Fescue or 
Randall Grass 
One of the grasses most used in permanent or 
temporary meadows for mowing or pasture as it 
remains green all winter. It succeeds best in cold, 
moist, light soils, in well-drained meadows and 
low valleys rich in organic matter. It reaches full 
development the second or third year, and then 
far exceeds most grasses in productiveness of a 
very superior feed, dry or green. After being 
mown, it grows up quickly. It is highly relished 
by cattle and is most nourishing. Sow 30 to 40 lbs. 
to the acre. 
Postpaid, lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 65c ; 5 lbs. $1.50 ; 
10 lbs. ‘$2.75. 
No. 403. Rough Stalked Meadow 
Grass 
A spreading, thickly matted, stoloniferous- 
rooted species, forming a fine turf and adapted 
for shaded portions of lawns. It thrives on rich, 
moist soil and in sheltered situations, but not on 
dry land. Valuable for forming bottom grass in 
mixtures for permanent pastures. Sow 20 lbs. 
to the acre. Postpaid, lb. 40c ; 5 lbs. $1.55.

No. 408. Creeping Bent Grass 
This is a most valuable grass for lawns and 
putting greens. It is of rapid growth and spread¬ 
ing habit, and the stoloniferous roots which pene¬ 
trate deep into the soil form a strong enduring 
turf that is actually improved by constant tramp¬ 
ling. Creeping Bent is a grass of fine texture. 
Postpaid—Lb. $1.10 ; 2 lbs. $2.10 ; 5 lbs. $4.90 ; 
10 lbs. $9.60. 
No. 406. Italian Rye Grass

nutritous hay; a very valuable grass, particular¬ 
ly adapted for rich loamy soils or low grounds; 
does better in damp situations than most grasses. 
Frequently used as a lawn grass in the South, 
giving a quick covering to the lawn. Sow 30 
to 35 lbs. to the acre. 
Postpaid, lb. 25c ; 5 lbs.75c ; 10 lbs. $1.45.

in poor shallow soils when other grasses fail. It 
is very hardy, resisting cold or extreme heat. 
Although of dwarf habit, it grows thickly, yield¬ 
ing large quantities of nutritious feed. It is 
largely used on lawns and golf courses on ac¬ 
count of its fine foliage and dense dwarf growth.
