WOOD’S HAY and PASTURE GRASSES 
I 
Orchard Grass 
A fine perennial hay 
and pasture grass 
A very vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and 
nutritious hay, as well as having special value as a pasture grass, 
furnishing good grazing from early spring till winter. It responds 
quickly after cutting or grazing, for in a few weeks of seasonable 
weather it is ready for grazing again, it adapts itself to a variety 
of soils. It is a deep-rooted perennial grass, but does not form a 
true sod, as it grows in tufts, so it is recommended that other 
grasses be sown with it. A mixture of 15 lbs. of orchard grass, 12 
lbs. of meadow fescue and 8 lbs. red clover has proved very satis¬ 
factory; is recommended for hay and pasture. Red top or herds 
grass, Kentucky blue, tall meadow oat, perennial and Italian rye 
grasses and alsike clover may be added to make a permanent pas¬ 
ture. When sown alone, sow 30 to 35 pounds to the acre.

. NOTE—Our extra fancy orchard grass is of exceptionally fine 
quality and free of wild onions which are usually found in orchard 
grass as generally sold. 
The most extensively 
grown Hay Grass 
12 to 15 lbs. sow an acre. 
For hay, timothy is the best known and most extensively grown 
of all grasses. A stand is easily established, it is inexpensive to 
sow, it starts quickly and yields its best crop the year after it is 
sown, but the following year’s crop may be equally as heavy if 
liberally top-dressed with stable manure. It stands up well, is 
easily cured and is heavy for its bulk, for which reason it has 
proved the most profitable hay crop when grown for market. The 
yield on good land frequently runs from 1to 3 tons to the acre. 
Meadow fescue or English blue grass, red top or herds grass and 
sapling clover all mature at the same season as timothy, and are 
good grasses to sow with it for hay and grazing, increasing the 
yield of hay and the yield and value of the pasturage. A good mix¬ 
ture for hay and grazing is 6 lbs. timothy, 5 lbs. red top or herds 
grass, 7 lbs. meadow fescue, and 5 lbs. sapling clover. If timothy 
and sapling clover are sov.m together, mix 8 lbs. timothy and 6 lbs. 
sapling clover. 
The best time to cut is when it Is in bloom; it is then easier to 
cure and its feeding value is highest. By mail postpaid, lb. 22c; 
5 lbs. 65c; 10 lbs. $1.15; 25 lbs. $2.15; 50 lbs. $4.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 12c; 5 to 24 lbs. 8o per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 6c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over S^c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Bermuda Grass 
Extra fancy seed 
testing 98% pure 
The Blue Grass of the South. 
Makes a vigorous and persistent growth in every part of the 
South; lasts for years; stands a long, hot summer without injury; 
grows well in any soil that is not too wet; bears heavy grazing and 
trampling with little injury; recovers quickly when grazed down, 
and as a grazing and fattening grass has few equals. If grown 
with bur clover, japan clover, carpet grass and vetch, an all-the- 
year-round grazing may be had. For lawns, golf courses and ath¬ 
letic grounds it makes a tough, even turf without clumps, and 
recovers quickly after cutting. Sow when the ground is thoroughly 
warm, and only on well-prepared land. Sow broadcast and cover 
very lightly with a roller or light brush. Germinates very slowly. 
Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre; for lawns, 5 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.35; 25 lbs. $7.65;

HTTIiEEB BEBMT7EA GRASS —Under favorable moisture and soil 
conditions, hulled Bermuda grass will germinate in 6 or 7 days, 
whereas unhulled seed requires 20 to 25 days. Hulled seed is highly 
recommended for lawns or where quick growth is desired. Specify 
HULLED SEED when ordering. By mail postpaid, lb. 5Sc; 5 lbs.

cropping, is relished by all kinds of stock, and is not easily injured 
by trampling. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1A5;

Sudan Grass 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre 
Sudan Grass is primarily a hay grass, its slender leafy stems 
making it easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. It 
makes its greatest growth and produces the most feed during July, 
August and September, when native grasses are less productive. It 
can be grown successfully on almost every class of soil from a 
heavy clay to a light sand, besides being particularly drought and 
heat resistant. Primarily an excellent hay crop, Sudan is gaining 
in popularity as a summer pasture. 
The feeding value of Sudan grass hay is equal to that of millet, 
timothy and other non-legume roughages. Sudan will give from 
two to three cuttings; stools out wonderfully after the first cut¬ 
ting; it is not uncommon to find a hundred sterns growing from a 
single root. It is an excellent catch crop, requiring only 45 days 
before the first cutting. 
Sow after the ground becomes thoroughly warm, preferably 
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. A grain drill may 
be used, set to sow two pecks of wheat. Cut when in bloom, for at 
that stage the feeding value is highest.

50 lbs. $3.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 7c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 5c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 4340 per lb. No charge for bags. 
Carpet Grass 
The grass that thrives on close grazing. 
Carpet grass is fast proving itself one of the most valuable per¬ 
manent grazing grasses for that section of the South extending 
from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf and approximately 125 to 150 
miles inland. It is remarkable for its ability to grow on poor sanoy 
soils; it may be grazed considerably later than Bermuda grass in 
the fall and earlier in the spring; it does better on poor sandy sons 
and furnishes more grazing. It is strictly a pasture grass 
stands close grazing and heavy trampling; in fact, it thrives best 
and spreads more rapidly when closely grazed, and trampling 
seems to improve it. It does splendidly sown with japan clover ana 
bur clover, the combination giving an all-the-year pasture. It is 
easily eradicated by plowing. Sow from early spring till mid-sum¬ 
mer 15 lbs. to the acre; on lawns and public parks heavier seeding 
is advisable. _ _
