GRASSES 
AUSTRALIAN RYE GRASS 
Used extensively for lawns, particularly in the Imperial Valley, Salt 
River Valley, Arizona, and similar climates. It grows faster than Blue 
Grass, is coarser and will stand considerable abuse or neglect. Sow 
40 lbs per acre. (lb. SOc) (10 lbs. $2.50) postpaid. Write for quan¬ 
tity price. 
ORCHARD (Cocksfoot—Dactylis Glomerata) 
This grass does well sown either with or without other grasses. It 
is frequently sown in such pasture mixtures as white clover, red clover 
and rye grass. If sown alone, 25 or 30 lbs. of the Cocksfoot seed will 
insure a good stand of grass, (lb. 45c) (10 lbs. $4.00) postpaid. 
Write for quantity price. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Domestic) 
Italian Rye is very quick growing and hardy and produces a large 
amount of nutritious herbage. Its duration being but two or three 
years, it is not adapted for permanent pastures, yet highly valuable for 
rotation of crops. It is especially adapted for sowing in autumn with 
oats, barley, rye or clover, as a catch crop for fattening stock. Sow 
30 lbs. per acre. (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quan¬ 
tity price. 
PACEY'S PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
An excellent hardy grass for the coast range, on hillsides and 
meadows. Also a splendid durable lawn grass. It resists drouth won¬ 
derfully and is quick to recover after a slight rainfall. Sow 30 lbs. per 
acre. Imported seed. (lb. 35c) (10 lbs. $3.00). Write for quantity 
price. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE 
One of the best grasses to sow in a meadow. Mixed with Red Top 
and White Clover it is a valuable pasture grass. It is also suitable 
for lawns and putting greens. Sow 20 lbs. per acre. (lb. 75c) 
(10 lbs. $7.00). Write for quantity price. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
A hardy perennial grass growing to a height of 15-30 inches. The 
leaves are bright green and very succulent making a good pasture 
grass. It is recommended in combination with Ladino Clover. Sow 
25 lbs. per acre. (lb. 40c) (10 lbs. $3.50) postpaid. Write for quan¬ 
tity price. 
RED TOP (Agrostis Vulgaris) 
Red Top is a perennial grass which grows from a few inches to 5 
feet in height under varying conditions of soil and climate. But the 
average height is probably 18 to 20 inches. It is now more highly 
esteemed as a pasture grass than for a hay. No other useful grass 
would seem so well adapted for growing in wet situations, even in 
places so moist as to be saturated with water for a considerable por¬ 
tion of the late autumn and the early spring. Soil should be care¬ 
fully prepared, thoroughly pulverized and clean of weeds. Sow broad¬ 
cast 14 lbs. of seed per acre. Also planted with other grasses for lawns, 
(lb. 40c) (10 lbs. $3.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
RUSSIAN BROME (Bromus Inermis) 
Bromus Inermis is one of ou'r hardiest perennial grasses; no amount 
of cold will kill it. It withstands the severest drought, and water may 
stand on it for weeks. It will grow on any rich soil. It requires 20 
pounds of seed per acre. Russian Brome Grass is essentially a winter 
pasture grass, but it also makes good hay. All kinds of stock are fond 
of it, and no other grass, unless it be orchard grass, will furnish graz¬ 
ing for so large a portion of the year. Its producing and feeding value 
for hay is about equal to that of timothy, (lb. 60c) (10 lbs. $5.50) 
postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
TIMOTHY 
This is one of the best grasses for hay. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
(lb. 30c) (10 lbs. $2.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
HARDING GRASS 
Two to 4 lbs. per acre. This grass is a true perennial, one seeding 
being good for years. It cannot become a pest because all spread is 
from the crown. It never bloats. Will stand heavy tramping of sheep 
or cattle. Old pastures or burned over land should be sown after the 
heavy winter rains have set in. (lb. $2.00) postpaid. 
RHODES (Chloris Gayana) 
Rhodes grass does not grow underground sprouts like Johnson or 
Bermuda grass, but sends runners over the surface like the strawberry 
plant. It is easily eradicated. Rhodes Grass will smother Bermuda and 
other weeds, because of its dense growth. It is easily eradicated by 
being plowed once and let stand for sixty to ninety days. It grows on 
alkali lands and adds humus to the soil. The best time to plant 
Rhodes Grass is from March 1 to August 1. Broadcast 12 lbs. of seed 
per acre. (lb. 90c) (10 lbs. $8.50) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
DALLAS (Paspalum Dilatatum) 
Grows on any kind of soil—endures some alkali—excellent for per¬ 
manent pasture on marsh or mesa—grows winter and summer with 
moisture—excellent for hay—may be cut every six weeks—becomes 
dormant with drouth but revives with less moisture- than any other 
grass, yet will survive if submerged for several weeks—stools and seeds 
freely. The seed takes root among the weeds and devil grass, choking 
out everything in its way. The dense matting roots make a thick sod 
capable of supporting the cattle on marshy land. The stock relish it 
fully as well as alfalfa. It is as easy to eradicate as Timothy or as any 
other bunch grass. Ten lbs. is sufficient to sow 1 acre broadcast. It 
thrives in high altitude, (lb. 90c) (10 lbs. $8.50) postpaid. Write for 
quantity price. 
BERMUDA (Cynodon Dactylon) 
Bermuda Grass is unquestionably the best pasture grass in the 
south, viewed from the standpoint of palatability, productiveness and 
endurance. There are reasons for believing that in its proper sphere 
it will produce more grazing and more meat than blue grass under 
the most favored conditions. Sheep can graze upon it from 7 to 9 
months in the year according to locality.' Sow seed during May and 
June, 5 lbs. per acre. (lb. 60c) (10 lbs. $5.50) postpaid. Write for 
quantity price. 
ALFILARIA (Erodium Cicutarium) 
Alfilaria or "filaree" grows wild without any attention in all classes 
and conditions of soil except swamps and excessive alkali. Soon after 
the first heavy fall rains have saturated the ground the "filaree" begins 
to make its appearance. It is good pasturage at all stages of its 
growth, even when mature and dried up. In nutritive qualities it com¬ 
pares favorably with alfalfa and live stock of all kinds fatten on it 
readily. It is hardy even where the winter temperature reaches zero 
or below. Sow 10 lbs. of seed per acre. Sow just before the rainy 
season. (lb. $1.25) (10 lbs. $11.00) postpaid.
