CARPET GRASS—Remarkable pasture crop, 
because of its ability to thrive on poor, sandy 
soil. Grows best where the ground water level 
is only a few inches from the surface. Will 
thrive equally as well on well-drained, hilly 
lands. Can be sown broadcast over your pres- 
ent pasture, or over wooded land without the 
necessity of cultivation or breaking up. Will 
produce a heavy, all-year-round succulent 
green grass. No danger of becoming a pest; 
plowing under will destroy it entirely. Does 
extremely well when planted with most of 
the other grasses, especially Dallis and Rye 
Grass. Also, when planted with Lespedeza, 
Burr and White Dutch Clover, it provides an 
excellent grazing crop. Should be sown in 
September or October, also in early Spring at 
the rate of 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
Pound 60c; 10 pounds $5.00. 
DALLIS GRASS (Domestic) — Furnishes hay 
and pasture all the year round in the far 
South. In the cotton belt it supplies two fine 
quality hay cuttings. Stands light frost and 
does well on soil with plenty of moisture. Sow 
from the first of March until the middle of 
April at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds to the acre. 
Pound 75c; 5 pounds $3.00, postpaid. 
DOMESTIC RESCUE GRASS—One of the most 
nutritious for permanent pasture grasses and 
does well in most soils, although the best re- 
sult will be secured from somewhat moist soil. 
Useful for winter and spring grazing, as it 
stays green all during the winter and spring. 
If allowed to reseed itself, it will come up 
again in the fall. September and October are 
the best months to sow, broadcasting the seed 
at the rate of 15 to 25 pounds per acre. It is 
also splendid to use in permanent pasture mix- 
tures. Pound 50c; 2 pounds 85c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 10 pounds $4.00. Please ask for prices 
on larger quantities. 
JOHNSON GRASS—A valuable hay and forage 
plant. No other grass makes such enormous 
yields of hay—three cuttings a season. Cut 
when the seedheads begin to form. Relished by 
all stock. Sow 40 pounds per acre and make 
a permanent pasture and hay crop. Pound 25c; 
5 pounds 75c, postpaid. 100 pounds $6.00, not 
prepaid. Write for prices in larger quantities. 
RHODES GRASS—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. On good 
ground Rhodes Grass will grow over four feet 
high, with a fine, leafy stem, and it makes 
hay easy to cure and of the best quality. It 
can be cut from three to five times a season. 
Broadcast 12 pounds of seed per acre, going 
over the field twice, sowing 6 pounds each 
way. Pound 70c; 2 pounds $1.30, postpaid. 
10 pounds $5.75. Ask for prices in larger lots. 
STAFFEL’S QUICK BERMUDA GRASS—To grow 
Bermuda Grass successfully prepare your soil 
by spading, and mix one-half pound Bermuda 
seed with four quarts of fine dirt or sand. Sow 
on 1,000 square feet. Bermuda grass must be

ITALIAN RYE GRASS—An annual, all, 
broad, flat-leayed deep green grass very 
valuable for winter lawns and pastures. 
Produces within 3 weeks, or less, a beau- 
tiful green winter lawn. It is one of the 
most important and yaluable winter pas- 
ture grasses for the entire South. Grows 
from 2 to 3 feet high. Withstands severe 
winters perfectly. On mellow soils no 
preparation is needed—simply sow seed 
and lightly cover. Requires 10 pounds per 
1,000 square feet for lawns; 25 to 30 
pounds per acre when used alone for pas- 
ture. Spring sowings are conducted during 
January and February. Staffel offers seed 
of the highest quality. Pound 25c; 5 
pounds $1.00; 10 pounds $1.75; 100 pounds 
$8.00, prepaid. 
SUDAN GRASS—Grows successfully on all 
kinds of land, stands dry weather and 
does not blight under excessive rainfall. 
Sudan Grass will not sprout from the roots 
after frost has killed the plant. Grows 
from 5 to 10 feet, stems small and some- 
what more leafy than Johnson Grass. The 
feeding value of the hay is equal to that 
of Millet, Timothy and Johnson Grass. As 
many as four cuttings have been made in 
one season, the number of cuttings de- 
pending on the length of the season. The 
best time to cut it is when it is in full 
head, but it can be harvested somewhat 
earlier or later than this, without any 
material feed loss. This is one of the very 
best grasses that can be planted and it 
has met with wonderful success all over 
the South. It cures easier than Sorphum 
and produces a wonderful tonnage per 
acre. Be sure to plant some of it this sea- 
son. Our seed is free from Johnson Grass 
seed, according to the test made by the 
State Department of Agriculture, and 
shows a high germination. Pound 20c; 10 
pounds $1.00. 
VELVET OR MESQUITE GRASS—This grass 
is known in California as Mesquite Grass, 
but mut not be confused with Texas Curly 
Mesquite. It produces a strong growth of 
soft, broad leaves and has no stem or 
stalk which makes it coarse. When used 
as a hay it should be cut while in full 
bloom. When cut this way it will give two 
to three cuttings per season. The sowing 
of Velvet Grass is strongly recommended in 
mixtures with other grasses or clovers. It 
should be planted in September or October 
also in the early spring. Sow 20 to 25 
pounds of seed to the acre. Pound 40c; 
10 pounds $3.50.
