GRASS SEEDS FOR LAWN, PASTURE AND HAY 
HINTS ON FORMATION OF LAWNS—Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 inches. 1 
lf the soil is poor, fertilize freely, working into the soil, then rake level and roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. Scatter 
Rake seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil is liable to dry out in the heat of the

the seed evenly over the surface. 
Afterwards harrow or rake carefully, pulverize 
day, and if it does while the seed are germinating, a poor stand will be secured. Should bare spots appear, rake the surface and sow more 
seed. 
QUANTITY TO SOW FOR LAWNS—You cannot sow too much; the more, 
We recommend, on new ground, for average mixtures, to sow as follows: 2 pounds on 600 square feet (20 x 30); 5 pounds on 
results. 
1,500 square feet (30 x 50).

1117—BUCK BRAND PERMANENT LAWN GRASS SEED— 
By far the best mixture of grasses offered for the purpose of 
quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared from 
our own formula, and is a careful blending of varieties 
adapted to producing the thick growth and velvety appear- 
ance so much sought after. Each variety of grass in this mix- 
ture is there for a special purpose; some for making strong. 
fibrous roots, which take hold upon the soil and keep the 
turf in place; others of a creeping nature quickly fill up any 
bare spots which may develop; varieties which are useful for 
color value, and also kinds that withstand adversity. Sow in 
early spring or fall. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.65; 10 Ibs., $3.00 
1118—BUCK BRAND SHADY LAWN GRASS SEED—Usu- 
ally it is not difficult to obtain good turf under trees if the 
correct seed varieties are used. To make a new lawn in the 
shade spread lime at the rate of 1 pound to each 20 square 
feet; apply Vigoro or other complete fertilizer at the rate of 
2 pounds per 100 square feet; rake smooth and sow Buck 
Brand Shady Lawn Grass Seed; rake again to cover the 
seed and either roll with a light roller or flatten with the 
back of a spade. Use 1 pound of seed for each 10 feet by 30 
feet; sow at half these rates when renovating a lawn. Where 
shade is excessive it may be necessary to sow additional 
seed for one or two years. Late winter or very early spring 
seeding will give best results. 
Price—1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.25 
1103—KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—A lawn and pasture grass, 
succeeding best on fertile, heavy soils which contain lime 
and phosphate, but does well on a variety of soils if lime is 
added. Kentucky Blue Grass should be included in all per- 
manent pastures sown where it is adapted as no grass is more 
nutritious. It is one of the first to start up in the spring and 
gives excellent grazing in the fall. Sow for pasture about 15 
pounds to the acre. A most beautiful lawn grass, especially 
adapted to shaded areas. It forms a close turf, is slightly 
creeping and quite hardy. Sow 1 pound to 300 square feet. 
Late winter or very early spring seeding is preferable. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.50; 10 Ibs., $2.75 
1100—BERMUDA GRASS (Unhulled)—The most dependable 
grass for lawns, golf courses and pastures in the South, anc 
when once established no amount of hot, dry weather will 
kill it out. It succeeds on nearly all soils; makes a tough, 
deep, smooth turf that recovers quickly after cutting and 
will endure more trampling and rough treatment than any 
other lawn grass. We recommend it as the foundation grass 
for almost all pastures since it combines to great advantage 
with White Dutch, Hop, Bur and Crimson Clover and Rye 
Grass, thus making an almost year round heavy producing 
pasture. For lawns sow 1 pound to 300 square feet; pastures 
15 pounds per acre. April through June. 
Price—1 lb., $1.00; 5 Ibs., $4.50; 10 Ibs., $8.25 
1102—HULLED BERMUDA GRASS—Same as unhulled, but 
the hull is removed. This new process promotes quicker ger- 
mination enabling you to sow from April through July. Our 
tests show that the hulled type will germinate fully within 
10 to 12 days, while the regular unhulled types take from 
21 to 30 days. This should revolutionize the planting of 
Bermuda lawns, the only objection to Bermuda seeding be- 
fore, being the length of time necessary for germination. 
Sow half as much Hulled Bermuda as you would Unhulled. 
Bermuda will stand more hot sun than any grass known. 
Price—1 Ib., $1.25; 5 Ibs., $5.80; 10 Ibs., $11.00 
1107—WINTER RYE GRASS—Used extensively throughout 
the South for winter lawns. Merely sow Rye Grass on your 
permanent sod late September to early November and you 
will have a beautiful green velvety lawn throughout the 
winter. Sow your lespedeza fields and permanent pastures to 
Rye Grass in October and secure an extra three months 
grazing per year with little cost and no preparation. For 
lawns sow 1 pound to 10 feet by 10 feet, for pasture 35 
pounds to acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., 90c; 10 Ibs., $1.60 
1101—RED TOP OR HERD’S GRASS—Red Top or Herd’s 
Grass is one of the most valuable and satisfactory grasses 
for the South. Succeeds well on any good upland and low- 
ground, and grows better on land that overflows than almost 
any other grass. It is one of the easiest grasses to get started, 
and once established it thickens and improves, increasing 
yield every year, and should be included in all mixtures for 
lawns and pastures. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre in early 
fall or spring. 
Price—1 Ib., 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.15; 10 Ibs., $1.95 
1104A—-ORCHARD GRASS—Very vigorous and hardy, having 
special value as a pasture grass, furnishing abundant grazing 
in early spring and late fall. Also will yield a fair quantity 
of nutritious hay. Ideal for sowing with other grasses and 
clovers. Its growth is checked during hot weather. Does 
well on almost any type rather fertile soil, but prefers abun- 
dant moisture. Will stand much shade and is excellent for 
woodland pastures and for sowing in gullies to prevent 
erosion. Sow about 15 pounds to acre either in the early fall 
or early spring. 
Price—1 Ib., 60c; 5 Ibs., $2.30; 10 Ibs., $4.35 
1111—SUDAN GRASS—Sudan Grass is used mainly as a hay 
crop, but is also an excellent annual pasture grass, especially 
for the dry, hot summer months when other pastures are 
short. If sown immediately after frost danger it will pro- 
duce two or three heavy cuttings of hay very high in feeding 
value. Cut just as heads appear. After cutting it renews its 
growth promptly and in about 60 days another cutting is 
ready. Yields 2 to 4 tons per acre. Sow broadcast or with 
drill, 30 to 40 pounds per acre.
