HAY AND PASTURE GRASSES 

YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
GRASSES 
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 favor- 
ably with 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 per acre. Lb. $1.50, postpaid. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Agropyron Christatum). This 
very hardy perennial bunch grass is relished by all kinds of 
live stock both as pasture or hay. Will stand extreme cold or 
drouth but does not thrive in climates where there is pro- 
longed cloudy weather and little sunshine. Sow seed from 
early Spring to early Fall. Drill 10 to 12 lbs. per acre and 
cover seed % inch. Lb. 50c, postpaid. 
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 sorghum. It is 
grown on all land where corn will grow. Ten pounds will 
sow an acre. Lb. 25c, postpaid. 
MESQUITE OR VELVET GRASS (Holecus Lanatus). Used on 
burned over, virgin soils. No cultivation is necessary. Sow 
seed at the rate of 15 pounds per acre. 
PASPALUM DILATUM (Dallis Grass). Just the thing to re- 
claim marsh lands, and equally good to survive a drouth. It 
survives extreme cold, and in the South it grows the year 
*round., Cut it three times during the season, each time get- 
ting 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. Lb. 50c, postpaid. 
RESCUE GRASS (Bromus Schraderi). This grass is sown in 
the Fall and Winter of the year, making a splendid Winter 
and Spring pasturage. 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. Lb. 50c, postpaid. 
RHODES GRASS—For the Gulf Coast sections all around the 
Lower Gio Grande Valley, above Brownsville, Texas, we be- 
lieve 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 qualities, is that it will smother Nut Grass. This 
is an improved Australian Grass. Plant 7 to 10 ounces to the 
acre. Lb. 65c, postpaid. 
41 
SUDAN GRASS. An excellent annual drouth-resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. It grows successfully on all kinds of 
land, stands dry weather and does not blight under ample 
rainfall, Planted in rows it requires four pounds of seed per 
acre. Lb. 10c. 
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 some- 
times 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, postpaid. 
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. 
Lb. 50c, postpaid. 
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. 50c, postpaid. 
FESCUE, CHEWINGS. Of particular value for sandy soils; 
does well in shade. Lb. $1.00, postpaid.
