GRASS (Continued) 
FANCY HULLED BERMUDA GRASS — 
This is the same as our Fancy Bermuda Grass, 
but the hull is removed. This operation has- 
tens germination. Many of our customers 
have reported to us that their plantings of 
the hulled seed have come up in seven to ten 
days after sowing. One of our customers 
who sows large quantities of Bermuda each 
season has written us that he will not use 
anything but the hulled seed in the future. 
He gave the hulled seed a fair trial and was 
certainly pleased and satisfied with the re- 
sults. Lb. 75c, postpaid. 
RYE GRASS (Lolium Italicum) — The seed 
we handle is American grown, of the Italian 
variety. 
Of all the grasses for winter and spring 
pasture, we consider Rye Grass to be one of 
the best. Each plant, under favorable condi- 
tions, makes a round bunch with 20 or more 
shoots. Many varieties of Rye Grass are in 
but the American grown seed of the 
use, 
Italian variety is by far the best for the 
South. It is exceptionally hardy, standing 
very cold weather, and stays green all during 
the winter, spring and early summer. 
Rye Grass is an annual, and, if allowed to 
go to seed, will re-seed itself and come up 
again when the weather gets cool in the fall. 
It makes excellent grazing for all kinds of 
livestock, and, if cut for hay, single cuttings 
will yield one to two tons of hay per acre. 
It grows from one and one-half to two and 
one-half feet high. 
It is wonderful grass to include in mix- 
tures with other grasses and clovers for per- 
manent pastures, this applying especially 
where you are starting a new pasture. 
Plant in fall and early spring, at the rate 
of 35 to 40 pounds per acre, or about one- 
quarter of this amount when planting with 
other grasses or clovers. 
Lb. 15c; 10 Ibs. $1.25; 100 Ibs. $7.00, not 
postpaid. 
FANCY CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Com- 
pressus) — A perennial, spreading by creep: 
ing stems which root at every joint, thus 
forming a close, compact turf. Flourishes on 
land short in lime, thrives under grazing and 
trampling. Will stand more close grazing, 
trampling, grazing and overflow than any 
pasture grass known. On barren desert or 
piney woods plains will produce a perpetual 
grazing ground. It is not a weed or a pest; 
plowing under will destroy it completely. 
The Government says in any Southern coast- 
al plains or flat woods country this grass is 
better than Bermuda Grass. Grows 2 to 2% 
feet high. Can also be used with good results 
on lawns, also golf courses. Would advise 
all of our customers to give this wonderful 
grass a thorough trial. Sow in September 
or October; also in February, March and 
April at the rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Lb. 40c; 10 Ibs. $3.50, not postpaid. 
DALLIS GRASS 
DALLIS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum) — 
Dallis Grass is a perennial, and is not a pest. 
It grows continuously, except in freezing wea- 
ther, a smaller growth in proportion to the de- 
gree of dryness. While it does not grow in 
freezing weather, it comes nearer growing all 
the year around than any other grass. Dallis 
Grass will gradually choke out Johnson Grass 
and other weeds, if grazed fairly close. It 
needs only a start, in order to stop washes 
and gullies. It is very easy to eradicate, one 
plowing will kill it out. In our trial grounds 
we found it stood the hot, dry summer better 
than any other grass. Sow about 10 pounds 
per acre, or mixed with other grasses and clo- 
ver most any time in the year. We find im- 
ported seed germinates much better than 
American grown seed.

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. 
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. In this way it 
covers the ground rapidly. 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. 55c; 10 Ibs. $5.00, not postpaid.

NON-SACCHARINE 
GRAIN SORGHUMS 

Darso 
DWARF BLACK HULL WHITE KAFIR — 
It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making 
straight, upright growth, has a strong stem 
with enormous, wide leaves. The stalks keep 
green and are brittle, making an excelelnt fod- 
der, either green or dried, for cattle and horses. 
The heads make the finest kind of feed. Sow 
in rows three feet apart, 5 to 10 pounds per 
acre. For fodder, sow one bushel per acre, 
broadeast. Requires 120 days to mature. 
Lb. 10c, not postpaid. 
HEGARI — It makes an enormous yield 
of grain in most sections of the State and is 
more desirable for forage or silage than either 
Kafir or Feterita. It is dwarf in habit of 
growth, producing large heads of white grains 
that do not shatter. Plant 8 to 10 Ibs. per 
acre. Stands dry weather well. Requires 
114 days to full maturity. 
Lb. 10c, not postpaid. 
ARIZONA GROWN HEGARI — The finest 
of Hegari grown. It will pay you big divi- 
dends to plant some of this splendid variety. 
Lb. 15c, not postpaid. 
DWARF STRAIGHT NECK YELLOW MI- 
LO MAIZE — This variety is the most won- 
derful Milo Maize and stands the drought 
well. It is earlier than Kaffir Corn and 
White Milo Maize, and very prolific. Stock 
seems to prefer it to corn, and it has a lax- 
ative effect on them, keeping them in good 
condition. 
Lb. 10c, not postpaid. 
ARIZONA GROWN DOUBLE DWARF 
YELLOW MILO — Without a doubt the finest 
strain of Double Dwarf Maize that you can 
buy. You will find this seed as true to type 
as it is possible to produce same. 
Lb. 15c, not postpaid. 
DOUBLE DWARF YELLOW MILO — fEar- 
lier than the old type Milo. The stalks are 
short, but large and stand remarkably well. 
The heads are large and the seed is larger or 
as large as the old type Milo. It will stand 
greater drought than most other sorghums 
and for that reason is adapted to dry farming. 
Should be extensively grown; in fact, every 
farmer should plant some of it. 
Lb. 10c, not postpaid.

FETERITA — The best drought-resistant 
non-saccharine Sorghum, and pretty well — 
known in this State. Earlier than Kaffir Corn, | 
and a very heavy yielder. The grain is simi- 
lar to Milo, but is pure white and also larg- 
er and softer. It does not shatter badly and 
yields as high as 80 bushels to the acre. 
Lb. 15c, not postpaid. 
DARSO — Low growing, heavily foliaged — 
with a large stalk, usually tinged with red. — 
Its straight stalk is sweet and juicy, showing 
by chemical analysis to contain 12.76 per cent. — 
saccharine in the juice, and analysis of the © 
grain shows that the composition is very simi-_ 
lar to that of Kaffir. It matures earlier than — 
Kaffir, which fact has much to do with its 
drought resistance. Darso makes excellent | 
silage, and can be used as a grain, forage or © 
silage crop. It has given splendid results in 
Texas. Requires 110 days to full maturity. 
Lb. 10c, not postpaid. 
ATLAS SORGO — Fine for forage and en- 
silage as it is quite sweet and grows an | 
abudance of broad long leaves. The heads | 
make the finest kind of feed. Grows to a | 
height of about 5 to 6 feet and requires | 
about 120 days to mature. 10c per Ib., not | 
postpaid. 3 f 
60 DAYS MILO — This new strain of | 
Dwarf Yellow Milo possesses all the qualities 
of the ordinary variety with the addition of 
one good and important quality that of being - 
quite abit earlier in maturing, thus many — 
times enabling the grower to make a erop | 
where he would fail at other times due to a | 
short wet season. Lb. 10c, not postpaid. a 
EGYPTIAN WHEAT (Shallu) — Is very | 
productive, making an enormous yield of grain — 
and fodder. Shallu or. Egyptian Wheat should — 
be sown in drills three feet apart, using from 
5 to 10 pounds of seed per acre. ; 
120 days to full maturity. Pia

ANGE — This 
variety has 
taller and 
heavier stalks 
than any va-

for syrup- 
making.
