GRASS SEED...^ (BtdJtsA. (pcuduMJL 
Carpet Grass 
This is a very remarkable pasture crop, because of its ability to 
thrive on poor, sandy soil. While it grows best where the ground water 
level is only a few inches from the surface, this perennial grass will 
thrive equally as well on well-drained, hilly lands. 
It can be sown broadcast over your present pasture, or over wooded 
land without the necessity of cultivation or breaking up. It will pro¬ 
duce a heavy, all-year-round succulent green grass. Each plant's run¬ 
ners create new plants each season. 
There is no danger of this grass becoming a pest; plowing under 
will destroy it entirely. It does extremely well when planted with most 
of the other grasses, especially Dallis and Rye Grass. Also, when 
planted with Lespedeza, Burr and White Dutch Clover, it provides an 
excelent grazing crop. It should be sown in September or October, also 
in early Spring at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. Lb., 50c; 
10 lbs., $4.00. 
Dallis Grass (Imported) 
PASPALUM DILATATUM. Furnishes hay and pasture all the year 
round in the far South. In the cotton belt it supplies two fine quality 
hay cuttings. Stands light frost and does well on soil with plenty of 
moisture. Sow from the first of March until the middle of April at the 
rate of 6 to 8 pounds to the acre. Lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.00, postpaid. 
Imported Rescue Grass 
IMPORTED RESCUE GRASS (Bromus Schraderi). Also called Prairie 
Grass, and is one of the most nutritious for permanent pasture grasses 
and does well in most soils, although the best results will be secured 
from somewhat moist soil. It grows wild in various sections of Texas 
and is especially useful for winter and spring grazing, as it stays 
green all during the winter and spring. It dies down as soon as the 
weather gets warm. If allowed to reseed itself, it will come up again 
in the fall. September and October are the best months to sow, broad¬ 
casting the seed at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre. It is also 
splendid to use in permanent pasture mixtures. The seeds are large, 
nearly equal to oats in size. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Not pre¬ 
paid, 10 lbs., $4.00. Please ask lor prices on larger quantities. 
Johnson Grass 
A valuable hay and forage plant. No other grass makes such enor¬ 
mous yields of hay—three cuttings a season. Cut when the seedheads 
begin to form. Relished by all stock. Sow 40 pounds per acre and 
make a permanent pasture and hay crop. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c, post¬ 
paid. 100 lbs., $5.00, not prepaid. Write for prices in larger quantities. 
Rhodes Grass 
RHODES GRASS (Chloris Gayana). Rhodes Grass is a perennial hay 
and pasture crop. It is especially adapted to all sections of the South 
where the winter temperature does not go below 18 degrees. Colder 
than this it will probably winter-kill. 
On good ground Rhodes Grass will grow over four feet high, with 
a fine, leafy stem, and it makes hay easy to cure and of the best 
quality. It can be cut from three to five times a season. 
The grass spreads by runners on top of the ground. These runners 
may be six feet long, with joints every six inches or so, taking root 
and throwing up new plants. The frequent joints and the many crowns 
make it an ideal pasture crop. Broadcast 12 pounds of seed per acre, 
going over the field twice, sowing 6 pounds each way. Lb., 70c; 2 lbs., 
ST.30, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.75. Ask lor prices in larger lots, 
lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
Staffel's Certified Sudan 
Sudan is considered the best pasture grazing crop and the most pal¬ 
atable. Sudan can be planted as late as July under favorable condi¬ 
tions. To avoid getting Johnson Grass and weed mixtures, plant only 
certified seed. The average yield of seed is 450 pounds per acre. Three 
cuttings of hay can be expected under normal conditions. Lb., 25c; 10 
Sudan Grass 
Grows successfully on all kinds of land, stands dry weather and 
does not blight under excessive rainfall. It is an annual, the seed hav¬ 
ing to be sown every year. It looks very much like Johnson Grass 
when growing, but has a different root growth. Johnson Grass repro¬ 
duces itself from underground root stalks, as well as from the seed. 
Sudan Grass will not sprout from the roots after frost has killed the 
plant. Grows from 5 to 10 feet, stems small and somewhat more leafy 
than Johnson Grass. The feeding value of the hay is equal to that of 
Millet, Timothy and Johnson Grass. As many as four cuttings have 
been made in one season, the number of cuttings depending on the 
length of the season. The best time to cut it is when it is in full head, 
but it can be harvested somewhat earlier or later than this, without 
any material feed loss. This is one of the very best grasses that can be 
planted and it has met with wonderful success all over the South. It 
cures easier than Sorghum and produces a wonderful tonnage per 
acre. Be sure to plant some of it this season. Our seed is free from 
Johnson Grass seed, according to the test made by the State Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, and shows a high germination. Lb., 20c; 10 
lbs., 75c. 
Velvet or Mesquite Grass 
This grass is known in California as Mesquite Grass, but must not 
be confused with Texas Curly Mesquite. It produces a strong growth 
of soft, broad leaves and has no stem or stalk which makes it coarse. 
When used as a hay it should be cut while in full bloom. When cut 
this way, it will give two to three cutting per season. 
The sowing of Velvet Grass is strongly recommended in mixtures 
with other grasses or clovers. It should be planted in September or 
October, also in the early spring. Sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed to the 
acre. Lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
Alfalfa 
Inoculate Seed With Nitragin 
Many interesting facts might be 
given about Alfalfa. We can't say 
too much for it because it's a work¬ 
ing plant which is changing the 
destiny of many farming sections. 
Sow 20 lbs. to the acre. 
Although fall sowing is prefer 
able, good results can be obtained 
from early spring sowing. Give i' 
care and attention, especially the 
first year, and your trial will show 
you that you cannot afford to be 
without it. Get it thoroughly estab¬ 
lished by first preparing your land, 
applying plenty of lime, and before 
seeding you should inoculate the 
seed. If your land has never had 
Alfalfa growing on it before, be 
sure to inoculate the seed with 
nitrogen-gathering bacteria for Al¬ 
falfa, for without inoculation your 
success is exceedingly doubtful. 
When once established, Alfalfa is 
the most valuable permanent clovei 
that can be grown. It is adapted tc 
almost the entire South, and has 
the highest feeding value of an} 
hay. Do not sow on wet ground 
high and rather dry being prefer¬ 
able, and only cut when coming 
into bloom. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.50, 
postpaid.
