HUTH'S ANNUAL and PERENNIAL GRASSES 
POA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass)—A splendid 
grass to 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. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT (Agrostis Pals- 
tris)—A very fine grass used for lawns, put¬ 
ting greens and along washes and banks 
and pastures, to hold the soil. Excellent also 
for the shade lawn. Use one pound to three 
hundred square feet. 
HAIRY PERUVIAN ALFALFA—Is growing of 
special value in the Southwestern portion 
of the United States, where the winters are 
mild. It is characterized by its large leaflets 
and by the hairiness of its stems and leaves, 
quick recovery after cutting, and its very 
rapid growth during the growing season. 
WHITE FLOWERED SWEET CLOVER (Meli- 
lotus Alba) —Is valuable because of its abil¬ 
ity to grow and thrive on the poorest and 
most barren places. It will not only thrive 
on soils that are too poor for any other 
crop but will improve the soil. It makes good 
hay and good pasture. Can be sown either 
in the fall or spring, and about 20 pounds 
per acre. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER (Meli- 
lotus Indica)—A legume especially adapted 
to plow under for green manure, and is just 
the thing to build up run-down soil. This 
seed can be sown in fall or early spring. 
EARLY SOUTHERN GIANT BUR CLOVER 
IN BUR—This variety is an improved Bur 
Clover that has attracted much attention 
over the South. It perpetuates itself if al¬ 
lowed to make seed. Sow 35 lbs. per acre. 
HULLED BUR CLOVER (Medicago Hispida 
Denticulata)—This variety of Clover is pop¬ 
ular for sowing in mixtures of grasses and 
clovers, as the seed are out of the bur and 
more easily planted. Plant 20 pounds per 
acre. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA—A plant similar to 
clover and the best of the Lespedeza types. 
It has an advantage over Alfalfa and Sweet 
clover, in that it will grow on untreated soil, 
no lime or phosphate being needed. 
HUBAM CLOVER—This is praised as a 
green manure plant, a pasture plant of 
very rank and quick growth, and a bees' 
paradise. Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
RESCUE GRASS (Bromus Schhraderi)—This 
grass is sown in the fall and winter of the 
year, making a splendid winter and spring 
pasteurage. It is a very nutritious grass 
growing about one to three feet tall, and 
does best on a fairly moist soil. If allowed 
to reseed itself, it will come up again the 
following fall. Plant about 20 pounds to the 
acre, as there is sometimes a shortage of 
this seed, order in the late spring or summer. 
RHODES GRASS —For the Gulf Coast sec¬ 
tions all around the Lower Rio Grande Val¬ 
ley, above Brownsville, Texas, we believe 
that Rhodes grass will prove the most valu¬ 
able 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 per¬ 
haps any other grass that has been intro¬ 
duced into this country, and last but not 
least of its excellent qualities, is that it 
will smother Nut grass. This is an imported 
Australian grass. Plant 7 to 10 pounds to 
the acre. 
PASPALUM DILATUM (Dallis Grass)—Just 
the thing to reclaim marsh lands, and 
equally good to survive a drouth. It sur¬ 
vives extreme cold, and in the South it 
CARPET GRASS (Paspalum Compression) — 
Is an extensively creeping pale green grass, 
rooting at the nodes, every few inches, and 
sending up numerous succulent, tender stems. 
It's this remarkable propagating and spread¬ 
ing characteristic which makes it so desir¬ 
able and valuable as a "permanent pastur¬ 
age" for poor, run-down, clay or sandy 
soils. Sow 10 pounds per acre for pasture; 
twice this for lawn, from early spring until 
July. 
grows the year round. Cut it three times 
during the season, 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. 
MESQUITE OR VELVET GRASS (Holcus 
Lanatus)—This wonderful thin bladed grass 
has often been the mainstay with the Texas 
rancher. It grows in mesquite as well as in 
the open and therefore is good for pasture. 
Sow 35 pounds per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS (Sorghum Vulgare Suda- 
nensis)—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 splendid 
silage crop. It is usually planted in rows 
and requires four pounds of seed per acre. 
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, especially horses; 
yield more nutritious matter than any other 
forage plant. Sow 12 pounds to the acre. 
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 all land where corn will grow. 
Ten pounds will sow an acre. 
TEOSINTE (Euchlaene Mexicana)—The most 
prolific forage plant yet introduced. The 
stalks are very nutritious. 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. 
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 pas¬ 
turage at all stages of its growth, even 
when mature and dried up. In nutritive 
qualities it compares favorably wi th alfalfa 
and live stock of all kinds fatten on it 
readily. It is hardy even where the winter 
temperatures reach zero or below. Little 
or no preparation of the soil is required. 
Sow six pounds of seed per acre. 
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 pro¬ 
duce more and richer milk than on Blue 
Grass. It makes a very heavy sod and when 
well set remains for many years. It is espe¬ 
cially adapted for winter grazing. Sow 20 
pounds per acre. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis) — 
This is the standard grass in America for 
lawns and also for pastures. Blue grass is 
the base of practically all grass seed mix¬ 
tures. It thrives best on limestone land. Sow 
15 pounds per acre for meadows, and one 
pound for every 150 square feet for lawns. 
DWARF WHITE CLOVER (Trifolium Re- 
pense)—Dwarf White Clover is excellent for 
lawns and is especially valuable for mixing 
with Bermuda grass both for lawns and pas¬ 
ture. A few pounds should be in all per¬ 
manent grass seed mixtures. It is very hardy 
and is a perennial. Is also excellent along 
washes and terraces, to hold the soil. Sow 
10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
RED TOP GRASS (Agrostis Alba)—A fine 
bladed grass that germinates fairly rapidly, 
being used in lawn grass mixtures to make 
a lawn green quickly. Sow 15 pounds per 
acre; double this for lawns. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon Dactylon) — 
Six pounds will sow an acre. Most depend¬ 
able and permanent grass for lawns, golf 
courses and athletic fields. Lasts for years, 
and stands long, hot summers without in¬ 
jury. 
HULLED BERMUDA—Germinates more rap¬ 
idly than unhulled seed. With soil and mois¬ 
ture right, germinates as quickly as Rye 
grass. 
AMERICAN RYE GRASS (Lalium Italicum) 
—Surpasses the English Rye grass in earli¬ 
ness 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.
