GRASS SEED 
The demand for Bermuda Grass Seed has 
increased very much the past few years. 
There can be no doubt but that Bermuda will 
produce the most drought-resistant meadows 
of any grass for the South. 
BERMUDA GRASS. Its great drought-resist¬ 
ing properties and ability to withstand our 
extreme summer heat makes this the most 
desirable of all grasses for use in lawns in the 
South. Equally valuable as a pasture grass 
and more extensively used than any other. 
Sow at the rate of 5 pounds per acre. For 
lawns, 1 pound to 50x50 feet. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Hulled). The advantage 
in planting the hulled seed is the fact that it 
will germinate in seven or eight days, while 
the unhulled seed takes from four to six 
weeks. Growers to whom we have sold the 
hulled seed the past season find the quick- 
growth has an advantage over the unhulled 
seed in getting a quick permanent stand. Sow 
for lawns 1 pound to 50x50 feet; 4 pounds per 
acre. 
ter pasture grass and when sown on Bermuda 
meadows during September, October and No¬ 
vember produces an abundance of foliage 
that remains bright and green throughout the 
winter months, dying down as the Bermuda 
starts growing in the spring. Will bear fre¬ 
quent and close cropping, is relished by all 
kinds of stock and is not easily injured by 
tramping. Other than Bermuda Grass this is 
the most valuable grass we offer, and for the 
first time in combination with Bermuda Grass 
it is now possible to have year-around grass 
meadows. In seeding no preparation is neces¬ 
sary. Merely sow the seed on the Bermuda 
sod at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Winter Lawn, for which it is being largely 
used, sow at the rate of 1 pound to every 10x20 
feet. 
TIMOTHY. Produces fine hay, and much 
grown in some sections. 
ORCHARD GRASS. The most valuable of all 
grasses for hay or pasture in sections where 
it is adapted. Best suited to land that will 
grow Red Clover or Timothy. Sow 28 pounds 
per acre. 
CARPET GRASS. A perennial, spreading by 
creeping stems which root at every joint, thus 
forming a close, compact turf. Flourishes 
on land short in lime; thrives under grazing 
and tramping. Will stand more close grazing, 
tramping and overflow than any pasture grass 
known. Sow in spring and summer at the 
rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
DALLIS GRASS. Is a perennial. Will grow 
3 to 5 feet high if not cut. Has a long grow¬ 
ing season all over the South. Stands close 
grazing and is not injured by light frost; 
hardy; thrives on most soils that are not too 
dry and sandy. Sow from middle of March 
to June; 6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
JOHNSON GRASS. Recognized as one of 
the most valuable hay and forage plants 
where its growth can be controlled. Sow 25 
pounds per acre. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. This is the 
basis of all lawns where tame grasses are pre¬ 
ferred, and in combination with White Clo¬ 
ver forms the finest and smoothest lawns. Es¬ 
pecially adapted to shady situations. One 
pound will sow a plot 20x20 feet. 
RED TOP. Especially adapted to our climate 
and the best of all grasses for low, wet. 
seepy lands. Makes a fine quality of hay and 
■excellent pasturage. On good soil it grows 
about 2 feet high. Should be included in all 
permanent pasture mixtures. Sow about 10 
pounds per acre. Extra fancy recleaned, solid 
seed. 
LEE’S EVERGREEN LAWN GRASS. This 
is a mixture of tame grasses for use where 
Bermuda Grass is not desired, and in shady 
situations where Bermuda Grass will not 
grow. Produces a permanent, thick, velvety 
green lawn the year around when the season 
is not too hot. One pound will sow a plot 
20x20 feet. Lb., 4Cc,' 5 lbs., $1.65, postpaid.

combination of Italian and English Perennial WfitC fOT Quatltitv PriC©S
