Wood’s Super Grade Grasses erprrseerenper pes pao 
of the new crop. 
Free from onions or other noxious weeds 
and contain 10 to 25% more pure live seed than the standard 
qualities usually offered. They are the pick of the crop and 
cleaned to the highest degree. 
ORCHARD GRASS—One of the best long-lived, deep-rooted 
grasses for year round pasture or hay or to reseed on old alfalfa 
sods. It does well on practically every type of soil, including acid 
soils, thrives in the shade, grows vigorously and produces large 
crops of nutritious hay relished by all livestock. It recovers quick- 
ly when cut or grazed. It grows the year round with maximum 
growth in the spring and fall. It should be used more in Southern 
pastures as it furnishes winter grazing when most crops are dor- 
mant. As it grows in bunches it should be seeded with other 
grasses and should be included in every hay or pasture mixture. 
Wood’s Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixtures all contain a gen- 
erous proportion. Sow 14 lbs. per acre with other grasses or 30 to 
35 "bs. alone, in early spring or fall. 
DALLAS GRASS—Paspalum dilatatum, Imported. The splendid 
permanent grass for year round Southern pastures, as it comes 
nearer growing the year round than most other grasses whether in 
mild winter or hot dry Summer. Stock prefer it, it fattens, stops 
erosion, and furnishes fine grazing, At the Florida Everglades 
Experiment Station it fattened 10 steers per acre. Unlike Carpet 
Grass, it allows clovers, lespedezas and other pasture grasses to 
grow freely with it, but chokes out objectionable weeds. Close 
grazing is recommended. Once established it lasts indefinitely, 
but is not a pest as cultivation kills it. It grows rapidly even after 
killing frost, except in extremely cold weather. It furnishes green 
pasturage in mild weather in mid-winter. Although best on heavy 
moist soil, it does well on all types, including dry hillsides, acid 
soils, ete. It is fairly good for hay. 
Our imported seed costs more per lb., but has more pure live 
seed, and is more economical to sow than domestic seed. Sow 6 to 
8 lbs. per acre in early spring, but can be sown the year round. 
For sowing grass seeds use one of the seed sowers described 
and illustrated on page 75. 
PASTURE GRASSES 
Grasses do not cause bloating. AS a whole 
they are more lime tolerant, do better on acid 
soils, are more resistant to disease, drought, 
heat or cold, have a wider soil adaptation, and 
are more dependable than clovers, but do not 
contain as much protein. AS the surest and 
best hay or pasture crops are grown from 
mixtures of both grasses and clovers, we 
strongly recommend seeding Wood’s Perma- 
nent Pasture and Hay Mixtures. Most grasses 
do best when seeded during cool weather, 
early spring or fall, on a well prepared but 
shallow firm seed bed. Apply 200 to 300 Ibs. 
per acre of Wood’s Standard 4-12-4 Fertilizer. 
WOOD’S HIGH QUALITY GRASS SEEDS. 
There is probably more difference in quality of 
grass seeds than most other seeds. Yet farm- 
ers usually cannot detect this difference by 
appearance and must rely on the seedsman to 
be sure of getting seed free of noxious weeds. 
Our 60 years experience enables us to offer the 
finest quality obtainable. 
MEADOW FESCUE—A hardy, deep rooted, tufted, long-lived 
grass that should be included in every hay or pasture mixture. 
Stands close grazing, makes thick foliage, comes on early in the 
spring, growing till late fall. Does well on wet soil. Sow on any 
soil except sandy 25 lbs. per acre in spring or fall, For permanent 
pasture, 10 lbs. meadow fescue, 8 lbs, orchard grass, 8 lbs. tall 
meadow oat grass, 6 lbs. Kentucky blue, and 5 lbs. red clover. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—The best permanent lawn or pas- 
ture grass for well drained rich heavy soils containing lime and 
phosphate in the Piedmont and mountains. It makes the richest, 
sweetest nutritious pasture, spreading and growing better if close- 
ly grazed. It grows vigorously in spring and fall; less vigorously 
in Summer and winter. As it germinates slowly, taking several 
years to form a permanent sod, it should be seeded only in mix- 
tures, 15 lbs. per acre for pasture, or 1 lb. to 200 square feet of 
lawn. Sow in early spring or fall to get a good start before sum- 
mer weeds, 
RED TOP OR HERD’S GRASS—Should be included in every 
permanent pasture, hay or lawn mixture as it grows well with 
other grasses, thrives on all soils, and grows on land too poor for 
Kentucky blue grass, It comes early and grows vigorously till late 
fall. It is perennial with creeping habit, stools well, and stands 
close grazing or trampling. It germinates quickly and is easy to 
get a stand. It matures for hay at the same time as timothy. Sow 
5 lbs. per acre in mixtures or 10 lbs. alone in spring or fall. 
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 sum- 
mer 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, all-the-year-round grazing may be had. For 
lawns, golf courses and athletic 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 lbs. per acre; for lawns 
1 lb. to 200 square feet. 
Hulled Bermuda grass germinates at least 50% quicker than un- 
hulled seeds. We offer both hulled and unhulled extra fancy 
quality.
