GRASSES 
TIMOTHY—This makes an excellent hay. Is very nutri- 
tious and is easily marketed, as there is always a good 
demand for first class Timothy hay, but it is not recom- 
mended for pasture, as it is injured by close cutting or 
grazing. It thrives best on heavy, moist soils, but does 
not do well on thin, light dry land. Sow 15 lbs. to the 
acre. 
HERD’S GRASS, OR RED TOP—This excellent pasture and 
hay grass does well on any soil, but thrives best on moist, 
heavy soils. It spreads and thickens from year to year, 
and will gradually supplant other grasses. Matures at 
the same time as Timothy, with which it makes a good 
mixture. Sow 10 to 12 lbs. to the acre. 
D. & B.’s VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS makes beauti- 
ful Lawns. 
ORCHARD GRASS—This is one of the most reliable grasses 
for hay or pasture grown in this section, making a quick, 
vigorous and continuous growth from early Spring to 
Winter. Sow 25 lbs. to the acre in the Spring or Fall 
and in any soil; loamy upland is best. It is excellent to 
mix with other grasses. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS—A most valuable grass for 
the South, as it stands heat and drought well and flour- 
ishes on dry, light soils. Splendid for pastures and for 
hay; it may be cut twice in a season. Sow 25 lbs. to the 
acre. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—This grass succeeds best on 
limestone soils, but does well on any good stiff soil. Stands 
cold, but does not do well in extreme heat. Grows slowly 
at first, making a thick, compact turf. Used for lawns or 
pastures. Sow either in the Fall or Spring. 30 to 35 lbs. 
to the acre. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS—Good for hay and pastures, if 
sown on strong, moist soil, but does not stand drought 
well. It grows rapidly and matures very early. Sow 30 
lbs. to the acre. 
COLONIAL BENT—A very valuable grass for pasture and 
lawns and is particularly recommended for golf links, as 
it stands trampling perhaps as well or better than any 
other grass. 
RED FESCUE—Used for lawns and golf course mixtures. 
BERMUDA GRASS—A valuable grass for permanent sod, 
and especially recommended for dams and terraces, as it 
has long, tough roots and of a matty growth; prevents 
land washing; would not advise sowing on land which is 
to be planted in other crops, as it is very tenacious in 
habit and very hard to eradicate after it once gets a hold; 
for this reason is used extensively on golf links. It is 
very similar to our Virginia Wire Grass. Sow in March 
or April, August and September, about 10 pounds to the 
acre, in well prepared soil. Seeds are slow to germinate. 
SUDAN GRASS—This is an annual grass and if seeded in 
May can be cut twice and with favorable seasons three 
times a year, but it can be seeded as late as July and will 
make one cutting. Grows 6 to 10 feet high, when drilled.

DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
For beautiful green winter lawns sow Domestic Rye Grass 
in late fall or early winter. 
This type of grass grows well in most any soil throughout 
the winter, but is killed back by extreme summer heat. An 
early sowing of D. & B.’s Velvet Green Lawn Grass in Feb- 
pees or March over this grass will establish a permanent 
awn.
