WOOD’S SOUTHERN PASTURE GRASSES 
ADAPTED TO THE COTTON BELT 
Carpet Grass 
Bermuda Grass 
The grass that thrives on close grazing. 
Carpet grass is fast proving itself one of the most valuable per¬ 
manent grazing grasses for that section of the South extending 
from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf and approximately 125 to 150 
miles inland. It is remarkable for its ability to grow on poor sandy 
soils; it thrives vigorously on any kind of soil if moisture condi¬ 
tions are favorable, even if the land is acid. Compared with Ber¬ 
muda grass, carpet grass is its equal in feeding value; it may be 
grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in the spring; it 
does better on poor sandy soils and furnishes more grazing. It is 
strictly a pasture grass and stands close grazing and heavy tramp¬ 
ling; in fact, it thrives best and spreads more rapidly when closely 
grazed, and trampling seems to improve it. It does splendidly sown 
with japan clover and bur clover, the combination giving an all- 
the-year pasture. Carpet grass may be grown wherever the tem¬ 
perature does not fall below 10 degrees. It is easily eradicated by 
plowing. Sow from early spring till mid-summer 10 pounds to the 
acre; on lawns and public parks heavier seeding is advisable. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.15; 10 lbs. $2.15; 25 lbs. $4.65; 
50 lbs. $9.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 to 24 lbs. 18c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 16c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 15c per lb. No charge for bags. 
CARPET GRASS AND UNHULLED BERMUDA GRASS—These 
perennial grasses are slow in germinating, but when established 
are permanent and give increased pasturage year after year. Sow 
them in combination with other quick-growing seeds such as red 
top or herds grass, rye grass and Wood’s Dixie White Clover as a 
nurse crop, these giving good winter pasturage while the carpet 
and Bermuda are dormant. 
The Blue Grass of the South. 
Makes a vigorous and persistent growth in every part of the 
South; lasts for years; stands a long, hot summer without injury; 
grows well in any soil that is not too wet; bears heavy grazing and 
trampling with little injury; recovers quickly when grazed down, 
and as a grazing and fattening grass has few equals. If grown 
with bur clover, japan clover, carpet grass and vetch, an all-the- 
year-round grazing may be had. For lawns, golf courses and ath¬ 
letic grounds it makes a tough, even turf without clumps, and 
recovers quickly after cutting. To have an all-the-year-round 
green, mix with perennial rye grass, as Bermuda turns brown after 
frost. Sow when the ground is thoroughly warm, and only on well- 
prepared land. Sow broadcast and cover very lightly with a roller 
or light brush. Germinates very slowly. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to 
the acre; for lawns, 2 pounds to 1.000 square feet. By mail post¬ 
paid, lb. 45o; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.35; 25 lbs. $7.90; 50 lbs. $15.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 to 24 lbs. 30c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 29c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 28c per lb. No charge for bags. 
HULLED BERMUDA GRASS—We offer Bermuda Grass with the 
hull removed, which gives much quicker germination. Under 
favorable moisture and soil conditions, hulled Bermuda grass will 
germinate in 6 or 7 days, whereas unhulled seed requires 20 to 25 
days. Hulled seed is highly recommended for lawns or where 
quick growth is desired. Be sure and specify HULLED SEED 
when ordering, otherwise, regular unhulled seed will be shipped. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. $4.65; 25 lbs. $10.90; 
50 lbs. $21.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 to 24 lbs. 43c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 41c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 40c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Paspalum Dilatatum 
or Dal! as Grass 
Australian Grown 
In the far South paspalum makes 
an all-the-year-round grazing and 
hay grass, but is recommended for 
growing throughout the cotton sec¬ 
tions where it may be cut twice a 
season, making excellent green 
feed and hay; stands close grazing 
and is not injured by moderate 
frosts. It is hardy and thrives on a 
wide variety of soils except those 
that are very dry and sandy, but 
prefers a fairly heavy and some¬ 
what moist situation. It is a per¬ 
ennial, growing 3 to 5 feet high; 
has a long growing season, start¬ 
ing early in the spring and remain¬ 
ing green till frost. Sow from the 
middle of March till the middle of 
April; farther South it may be 
sown earlier; sow 6 to 8 pounds to 
the acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 
5 lbs. $2.10; 10 lbs. $4.05; 25 lbs. 
$9.40; 50 lbs. $18.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 to 24 lbs. 
37c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 35c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 34c per lb. No

What “Wood’s Seeds” Means to You 
The selection, grading and cleaning of seeds is a series of highly 
technical operations, and the ability to handle such operations has 
required many years of experimentation and much expense. We 
have had to develop and build many machines for special cleaning 
purposes, some of the machines only removing one or two weeds 
or foreign seeds, so that seeds coming into our warehouses must 
be put through a series of operations determined after a careful 
analysis has shown us what is necessary to be done. 
In these operations we have had to use many scientific principles 
and much space could be devoted to a complete description of them. 
The illustration adjoining will show generally what is the final 
result, and will give some idea of what has to be done to bring 
Wood’s Seeds to their high state of purity. In the course of these 
operations sometimes nearly 40 per cent (40 lbs. from every 100 
lbs.) must be removed before we are satisfied to offer our customers 
“Wood’s Trade-Mark Brand.” When you buy “Wood’s Seeds” you 
are buying more than fifty years of seed cleaning and selection 
experience, unsurpassed in America today. You cannot afford to 
forget this feature. 
Certified Creeping Bent Grasses 
ASTORIA CREEPING BENT—For a really fine lawn 
turf there is no better grass. Succeeds well on most 
soils. Single plants spread rapidly by means of un¬ 
derground root stems or rhizomes, and these throw¬ 
ing up new shoots soon form a close., thick sod 
which does not allow room for weeds. Requires 
plenty of water and close cutting to give the very 
best results. Once established, this fine grass, with 
a little attention, will improve and thicken from 
year to year. The seed we offer is the genuine Blue 
Tag Certified Seed. Sow in mixtures, or by itself at 
the rate of 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. By mail 
postpaid, lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25; 10 lbs. $8.35; 25 lbs. 
$19.90. 
Not postpaid, lb. 85c; 5 to 24 lbs. 80c per lb.; 25 to 99 
lbs. 77c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 75c per lb. No 
charge for bags. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT—This Bent grass is best 
adapted to the heavier soils and to soils subject to 
overflow. Spreads by means of surface runners, and 
when used for a lawn should be top dressed twice a 
year with good loam soil to keep it in the best con¬ 
dition. We offer the genuine Blue Tag Certified seed. 
Sow 5 lbs. per 1,000 square feet for lawns, tennis 
courts, etc. By mail postpaid, lb. $1.05; 5 lbs. $4.75; 
10 lbs. $9.35; 25 lbs. $22.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 95c; 5 to 24 lbs. 90c per lb.; 25 to 99 
lbs. 87c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 85c per lb. No 
charge for bags. 
NOTE—Bent grasses are not recommended for the 
Coastal Plain area.
