834 (Paspalum Dilatatum.) One of the most valuable per- 
manent pasture grasses in the South. Comes nearer grow- 
ing year-round than any other grass. Cultivation readily 
kills it. Makes its fastest growth on heavy or moist bot- 
tomland, but gives satisfactory results on dry hill lands, 
and will even grow in burnt-over timber land. It stops 
washes and gullies. Withstands continued drought remark- 
ably well. We know of no better grass to withstand flood 
conditions on lowlands. Light freezes do not injure this 
grass. Due to its tuft formation and compactness of growth, 
it will choke out Johnson Grass and undesirable weeds. 
Combines well with Bermuda and Carpet Grasses, and 
once started in mixtures keeps a satisfactory balance with 
other crops. Lespedeza grows well with Dallis Grass mix-

and valuable permanent grazing grass for the South.
