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. Prices quoted below. 

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. 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 summer weeds. 
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. 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.

WOOD’S HIGH QUALITY GRASS SEEDS. There is prob- 
ably more difference in quality of grass seeds than most 
other seeds. Yet farmers usually cannot detect this differ- 
ence by appearance and must rely on the seedsman to be sure 
of getting seed free of noxious weeds. Our 60 years experi- 
ence enables us to offer the finest quality obtainable.

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 tyve of soil, including acid 
soils, thrives in the shade, grows vigorousiy 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. 
Sow 14 lbs. per acre with other grasses or 30 to 35 lbs. alone, in 
early spring or fall. 
_BERMUDA GRASS—Extra fancy seed, testing 98% pure. The 
biue 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. Hulled Bermuda grass germinates 
at least 50% quicker than unhulled seeds. Sow 12 lbs. per acre; for 
lawns 1 lb. to 200 square feet.
