BUCHANAN’S GRASS SEED AND PASTURE MIXTURES 
All Prices on This Page Post Paid Through Third Zone Only 
Prices Not Prepaid—See Yellow Price List Enclosed 
1105—DALLAS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum)—A perennial, 
especially popular in the South, starting growth in mid- 
spring and remaining green until frost. When well estab- 
lished it will afford more nutritious grazing, especially in hot, 
dry weather, than any other Southern pasture grass. Besides 
being a_ superior pasture grass Dallas is a fairly good hay 
plant. It is adapted to a wide variety of soils, but prefers 
heavy and somewhat moist land. When this unusual grass - 
is combined with the late winter and very early spring 
pasture grasses and clovers as Hop and White Dutch Clover, 
Red Top, and Orchard Grass, a most excellent pasture will 
result which will afford heavy grazing about nine months 
per year. Sow in March and April, earlier in the lower 
South, on well prepared land. Cover little or none. Plant 
10 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ilb., 50c; 5 Ibs., $1.80; 10 Ibs., $3.40 
1106—CARPET GRASS—Carpet Grass is one of the most 
valuable pasture grasses for the lower South. It grows on 
poor sandy soils better than Bermuda and does well on most 
any soil with a fair amount of moisture. It spreads rapidly, 
stands closest grazing and heavy trampling. For lawns and 
golf courses it will make a heavy sod and the closer it is 
cut the better it grows. It also does well in pastures with 
Bur Clover, thus giving all year grazing. Sow 15 pounds 
pes acre for pasture, twice this for lawns, from March until 
une. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., $3.25 
1108—TIMOTHY—Timothy requires good land for heavy 
yield. If sown with Red Clover the clover will help to 
supply nitrogen. Red Top or Herd’s Grass and Red or 
Alsyke Clover all mature at the same season as Timothy and 
are excellent to sow with it for hay or grazing, increasing 
the yield of hay and pasturage. A good mixture is 6 pounds 
Timothy, 5 pounds Red Top or Herd’s Grass, and 5 pounds 
Alsyke Clover; this mixture will furnish an excellent hay 
and fine pasturage on good loamy soils or on low ground. 
If Timothy and Alsyke Clover are sown together, mix 8 
pounds Timothy and 6 pounds Alsyke. Sow in early fall or 
early spring alone or in mixtures. 
Price—1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.80

TURE No. 1—Composed of the grasses MIXTURES 
and clovers which grow best in the IN 
shade. Every farmer wants some shady LATE WINTER 
spots in his pasture if it is possible OR

ground to produce, therefore we fur- 
nish this mixture, composed of the 
following grasses and clovers: Blue 
Grass, Japan Clover, Hop Clover, Rye 
Grass, White Clover, Red Top, Orchard 
Grass. Sow 15 pounds to acre.

1114—BUCK BRAND LOWLAND PASTURE No. 3—Almost 
every farm has some low land unfit for cultivation, Owing to 
its remaining wet until too late to plant in the spring, and 
this very land would be made to pay well if sown with our 
Lowland Pasture Mixture. This mixture will give a good 
yield of hay in middle of summer if not grazed too closely 
in spring. This is truly a good grazing and hay making 
mixture for any lowland. Mixed of following seeds: Alsyke 
Clover, White Clover, Red Top, Timothy, Orchard Grass, Rye 
Grass, Carpet Grass, and Lespedeza. Sow 15 to 20 pounds 
to thé acre.

—Mixed so as to furnish the best possible hog pasture over 
a long alec Composed of the following seeds: Red Clover,

Rye Grass, Hop Clover, and Red Top Grass. Sow 20 to 25 
pounds to an acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.65; 10 Ibs., $2.95 
LESPEDEZAS 
1061—COMMON LESPEDEZA—Sow all Lespedezas Feb- 
ruary through April. Lespedeza is the salvation of Southern 
impoverished lands, and it produces a good hay crop on 
more fertile soil. Common Lespedeza has never failed to 
grow on any soil in the Middle or Southern States, and while 
it will grow year after year on hard, compact, uncultivated 
soil, it will respond in a marked degree to proper prepara- 
tion. When sowing Lespedeza in a pasture mixture always 
sow Common since it withstands more adversity and closer 
grazing than any other. Sow 20 or 25 pounds per acre in 
winter or early spring. 
Price—1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.00; 10 Ibs., $3.50 
1080—KOBE LESPEDEZA—A taller, improved type of 
Lespedeza which grows much ranker and has larger leaves. 
It has been known to grow 38 inches tall, but usually about 
2 to 24% feet. Possibly due to its rank growth, completely 
shading the ground and thus retaining moisture, it is much 
more resistant to dry weather than other Lespedezas. Ex- 
cellent for pasture and a leading hay variety. Sow 20 to 25 
pounds per acre. 
Price—1 lb., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.40; 10 Ibs., $2.50 
10783—TENNESSEE No. 76 LESPEDEZA—This variety is 
similar to common, except that it is taller and more upright 
in growth, holding all the branches off the ground. It is 
finer stemmed than either Korean or Kobe and on account 
of this produces a superior quality hay. It continues to 
grow until killing frost, furnishing excellent pasture after 
the others have lost their leaves. Because of its long growing 
season it is probably the heaviest yielding hay variety. Sow 
20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 55c; 5 Ibs., $2.35; 10 Ibs., $4.25 
10799—KOREAN LESPEDEZA—tThe earliest of the annual 
Lespedezas. It comes up early in the spring and grows rap- 
idly, furnishing much earlier pasture than any other variety 
and more nutritious grazing at a time when other grasses 
and clovers are not at their best. It is the only variety that 
can be cut for hay in August and if sufficient moisture is 
available will produce a seed crop before frost. Sow 20 to 
25 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 30c; 5 Ibs., 85c; 10 Ibs., $1.50 
BE SURE TO INOCULATE ALL LESPEDEZAS 
1077—SERICEA LESPEDEZA—A Perennial Lespedeza, send- 
ing up new shoots from the crown after cutting or grazing. 
It will grow, thrive and thicken on poor, thin lands and on 
sour soils. We have never known it to be killed by drouth. 
It should not be cut more than twice in a year and will pro- 
duce about four tons per acre of hay almost equal in feeding 
value to Alfalfa. Or, a hay crop may be made from the 
first cutting and later an abundant seed crop can be har- 
vested. For the best quality hay, Sericea should be thick 
and must be cut before the stems become too coarse and 
woody. It also furnishes proportionately more grazing than 
any other Lespedeza. If not cut more than twice a year nor 
grazed too late in the fall it will continue profitable produc- 
tion indefinitely. It is most valuable to plant on soil that is 
too poor and eroded to produce any other profitable crop. 
Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Price—1 Ib., 55c; 5 Ibs., $2.30; 10 Ibs., $4.25
