RUSSELL-HECKLE’S GRASS SEED—Continued 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan is an annual and must be planted over each spring, after the ground has become 
thoroughly warm. Very quick growing, Sudan can be cut 3 or 4 times each season, depend¬ 
ing on moisture present. Ready to cut about 8 to 9 weeks after sowing, when first heads 
appear, or a little later won’t hurt. Let it stand in cocks until thoroughly dry; the stems are 
very juicy and take longer than leaves to cure. Can be sown with Soy beans or Cowpeas 
and the mixture makes a well balanced ration. If planted on rich land, will yield splendidly. 
Sudan hay alone is relished by stock, and is as nutritious as Timothy. Should be planted on 
fairly rich loamy soil. 
As a summer pasture, Sudan has few equals, continuing until frost. It is well to run 
mower over Sudan before turning stock in it—this will start it to stooling and prevent the 
whole young plant from being pulled up. Sudan is a splendid milk producer, supporting 
1 to 3 cows per acre all summer depending on conditions. Can be cut and fed green also. 
Plant 10 to 15 pounds in drills, 25 to 30 pounds per acre broadcast. 
Russell-Heckle’s Pasture Grass Mixtures 
These are composed principally of grasses which ripen together for cutting; but they also 
contain other grasses which will also add very much to the pasturage yield, in case it is 
desired to use the fields for pasturage. These grass mixtures afford splendid crops of hay of 
the finest quality and highest feeding value, and after being cut will give continuous and 
abundant pasturage till winter comes. May be used for hay exclusively, or for hay and 
pasturage as needed.

Russell-Heckle’s Lawn Grass Seed 
Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 inches. Afterwards harrow 
or rake carefully, pulverize all lumps and remove all large stones. 
If the soil is shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and spread over 
the surface to a depth of 5 inches. SoiJ may be enriched by bone 
meal or well-rotted manure wherever necessary, then rake level and 
roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. Scatter the seed evenly

Evergreen Lawn Grass 
Our Evergreen Lawn Grass is a mixture of grasses that are 
adapted to lawn making, and contains none of the coarse grasses nor 
those that grow in tufts or clumps. No one grass makes an ideal lawn 
grass, so we have put into our Evergreen a well-balanced mixture of 
grasses that are at their best during different months of the year, 
will give a beautiful green growth at all seasons. 
seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil is liable 
to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does while the seed is 
germinating it will invariably perish. When the grass is 3 inches 
high it should be cut and rolled, and repeat until the grass has be¬ 
come firm. For small areas use one pound lawn seed to 20x20 or 400 
square feet. 
Shady Spot Lawn Grass 
Only a few grasses will grow satisfactory in the shade. Among 
the grasses best adapted to this purpose are Poa Trivialis and Red 
Fescue. These grasses should be the base of all mixtures for shady 
lawns and woods. Shady Spot Lawn Grass contains a large pro¬ 
portion of these two grasses besides other- adapted turf-making 
grasses that will blend and make a thick velvety sod. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Adapted for shady locations, and requires rich soil. It will do 
well where lime is used in the ground. Sow in February, March and 
April, also in the fall. One pound sows 20 by 20 feet, or 400 square 
feet; 80 to 100 pounds to the acre. 
Winter Rye Grass 
For winter lawns. When sown in the fall, which is the proper 
season. Winter Rye Grass remains green all through the winter. 
Sown on top of Bermuda in October or November. For lawns use 
1 lb. to 10 by 20 feet. 
Sunny South Lciwn Grass 
A mixture of regular Lawn Seed and Bermuda grass, especially 
adapted for open and sunny situations. It will stand hot weather 
and with frequent watering will make a beautiful green summer 
lawn. Cut the grass weekly which will cause it to stool and grow 
off to a solid turf. Sow in March, April and May. One pound to 
400 square feet. If weather is dry, water well for good germination. 
Bermuda Grass 
The dependable and hot weather grass for lawns. Sow April 15th 
to September 1st; have ground well prepared and cover seed lightly 
as seeds germinate slowly. Keep soil well watered until up. If 
weather is dry, soak ground well three times a week. Sow one 
pound to 20 by 40, or 800 square feet. 
Keep lawn well cut and fertilize. Our hulled Bermuda seed gives 
perfect and quick results.
