Annual and Perennial Grasses 
BERMUDA Grass 
(Cynodon Dactylon). It 
is planted as a lawn 
grass, and nothing' will 
stand the sun better or 
will make a prettier 
carpet when kept short 
than th ; s grass. It is 
also very valuable as a 
pasture. Six pounds 
will sow an acre. Should 
be planted in the spring 
but can be also sown 
later. It takes from 60 
to 00 days to sprout; 
requires damp weather 
and hot sun; but when 
once un it grcv/s very 
rapidly. 
Lb. 65c, postpaid. 
I OA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass). A splendid grass tb 
sow under the shade of trees or in shady places where 
other grass does not do well. Also used in mixture of 
grasses for lawns or pastures. Lb. 65c. 
LAWN MIXTURE. We consider this mixture better 
than straight Blue grass. It is made principally of Ken¬ 
tucky Blue, White Clover, Poa Trivialis, Rye, Bermuda 
and some other grasses that will grow rapidly and make 
a good showing immediately. These coarser grasses will 
also protect the fine grass and let it get a good start. 
This lawn grass mixture is made just as good as we 
know how to make it, and we have had sixty years’ ex¬ 
perience with grass seeds. Price, Lb. 50c. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Lalium Italicum). Surpasses 
the English Rye grass in earliness and rapid growth. In 
most cases is an annual, but in exceptional cases will last 
two years. It is very valuable as temporary pasture in 
the South owing to its ability to withstand the winter. 
This also commends it for a mixture in lawn grass. Sow 
30 pounds per acre. Lb. 25c. 
MESQUITE OR VELVET GRASS (Holcus Lanatus). 
This wonderful thin bladed grass has often been the main 
stay with the Texas rancher. It grows in mesquite as well 
as in the open and therefore, good for pasture. Sow 35 
pounds per acre. Lb. 45c. 
CARPET GRASS (Paspalum Compression). Is an ex¬ 
tensively creeping pale green grass, rooting at the nodes, 
every few inches, and sending up numerous succulent, ten¬ 
der stems. It’s this remarkable propagating and spread¬ 
ing characteristic which makes it so desirable and valua¬ 
ble as a '‘permanent pasturage” for poor, run-down, clay 
or sandy soils. Sow 10 pounds per acre for pasture, twice 
this for lawn, from early spring until July. Lb. 45c. 
RHODES GRASS. For the Gulf Coast sections all 
around the Lower Rio Grande Valley, above Brownsville, 
Texas, we believe that Rhodes grass will prove the most 
valuable grass ever introduced. Stock eat Rhodes grass 
greedily, either as a hay or in its green state. It stands 
a fair amount of frost, will do with less moisture than 
perhaps any other grass that has been introduced into 
this country, and last but not least of its excellent quali¬ 
ties, is that it will smother Nut grass. Price, Lb. 75c. 
Ask for prices on large quantities. 
SUDAN GRASS. The great hay and forage crop. It 
seems to grow successfully on all kinds of land, stands 
dry weather and does not blight under ample rainfall. 
Sudan grass is thought to be the original wild form of 
the cultivated sorghums. It is an annual, the seed having 
to be sown every year. Stock of all kinds eat it readily 
and will leave other kinds of hay to eat it. Makes a splen¬ 
did silage crop. It is usually planted in rows and requires 
four pounds of seed per acre. Lb. 15c. 
Ask for prices on large quantities. 
ENGLISH RYE (Lo- 
lium Perenne). Most 
valuable for lawns as it 
produces a beautiful 
green sward and does 
not die in the winter. 
Also used for pasture 
and has been found val¬ 
uable in this respect. 
Will stand considerable 
drouth. We have re¬ 
ports of its success as 
lar south as Mexico 
City, where it is used 
extensively as lawn 
grass, and far west 
where it is being used 
for pasturage. For pas¬ 
ture sow 25 pounds per 
acre, but for lawns this 
amount should be dou¬ 
bled. Lb. 25c. 
TIMOTHY (Phleum Pratense). As a crop of hay, 
Timothy is probably unsurpassed by any other kind of 
grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, espe¬ 
cially horses; yield more nutritious matter than any other- 
forage plant. Sow 12 pounds to the acre. Lb. 25c. 
.JOHNSON GRASS (Sorghum Halapense). A perennial, 
a rapid grower with long cane-like roots; the leaf stalk 
and pinnacle of this grass resemble those of sorghums. 
It is grown on any land where corn will grow. Ten pounds 
will sow an acre. Lb. 25c. Ask for prices in quanaities. 
TEOSINTE (Euchlaene Mexicana). The most prolific 
forage plant yet introduced. The stalks are very nutri¬ 
tious. It can be cut several times during the season. One 
seed will sometimes produce 20 to 60 stalks or shoots, 
and the warmer the climate the better it yields. Should 
not be planted until the soil is perfectly warm in the 
spring. Plant four pounds of seed to acre. Lb. $1.25. 
ALFILARIA (Erodium Circutarium). It 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 it makes its 
appearance. It is good pasturage at all stages of its 
growth, even when mature and dried up. In nutritive 
qualities it compares favorably with alfalfa and live 
stock of all kinds fatten on it readily. It is hardy even 
where the winter temperatures reaches zero or below. 
Little or no preparation of the soil required. Sow six 
pounds of seed per acre. Lb. $1.50. 
ORCHARD GRASS (Dactylis Glomerata). It stands the 
drouth, grows well in the shade, does well in wet or poor 
ground and is splendid to prevent worn-out fields from 
washing. Cows fed on this will produce more and richer 
milk than on Blue grass. It makes a very heavy sod and 
when well set remains for many years. It is especially 
adapted for winter grazing. Sow 20 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 35c. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis). This is 
the standard grass in America for lawns and also for pas¬ 
tures. Blue grass is the base of practically all grass seed 
mixtures. It thrives best on limestone land. Sow 15 pounds 
per acre for meadows and one pound for every 150 square 
feet for lawns. Lb. 35c. 
PASPALUM DILATUM (Dallis Grass). Just the thing 
to reclaim mai'sh lands, and equally good to survive a 
drouth. It survives extr-eme cold, and in the South it 
grows the year round. Cut it three times during the sea¬ 
son, each time getting about one ton of dry hay to the 
acre. Stock relish it fully as well as alfalfa. It makes 
a fine hay. Seven pounds are required to plant an acre. 
Price, Lb. 85c. Write for quantity price.
