Nicholson's Heavy Hi-Quality Grasses 
Nicholson's Tested Grass Seeds enjoy a most enviable reputation as to germination, purity and quality and are not to be confused 
with the lighter weight poor quality seeds that are usually offered at inviting prices. It is much to your advantage to plant a fewer pounds 
of better grade seed than more pounds of cheap seed that are trashy and often carry disease. Nicholson's Grass Seeds make better pastures. 
Nicholson's Extra Fancy 
Bermuda Grass 
NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY BERMUDA 
GRASS SEED (Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow on 
almost any soil, makes splendid grazing as 
well as hay. In order to have best success in 
the growing of Bermuda Grass the seed should 
be planted in the spring or late summer, when 
the weather is warm and moist. If sown before 
a wet spell the seed will come up in a very 
short time after rain. Have the ground well 
prepared, then sow the seed broadcast, at the 
rate of 10 to 15 pounds per acre. After sowing 
run a roller over the land so as to firm the 
surface, as Bermuda Grass requires a firm 
seed bed. Bermuda Grass is also splendid to 
use in connection with other grasses and clo- 
vers for permanent pasture. In the fall, Red Top 
Grass or Rye Grass can be sown on the Ber- 
muda Grass and in this way will produce green 
grass all winter, as these will take the place 
of the Bermuda. Lb., $1.10; 2 Ibs., $2.10, post 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Nicholson's Extra Fancy 
Hulled Bermuda Grass 
NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY HULLED BER- 
MUDA GRASS. This is the same as our Extra 
Fancy Bermuda Grass, but the hull is removed. 
This operation hastens germination. Many of 
our customers have reported to us that their 
plantings of the hulled seed have come up in 
seven to ten days after sowing. One of our 
customers who sows large quantities of Ber- 
muda each season has written us that he will 
not use anything but the hulled seed in the 
future. He gave the hulled seed a fair trial and 
was certainly pleased and satisfied with the 
results. Lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.60, postpaid. Ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
Bird Grass 
POA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass). A splendid 
grass to sow under the shade of trees or in 
shady places where otker grass does not do 
well. Also used in mixture of grasses for lawns 
or pastures. Imported item, unable to supply 
at present. 
Buffalo Grass 
BUFFALO GRASS. Well adapted to Texas and 
the Southwest. We have never been able to 
offer this seed before. Now have only a lim- 
ited amount in the bur. Ounce, 20c; 1% lb., 70c; 
lb., $2.50, postpaid. 
Carpet Grass 
FANCY CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compres- 
sus). A perennial, spreading by creeping stems 
which root at every joint, thus forming a close, 
compact turf. Flourishes on land short in lime, 
thrives under grazing and trampling. Will 
stand more close grazing, trampling and over- 
flow than any pasture grass known. In barren 
desert or piney woods plains will produce a 
perpetual grazing ground. It is not a weed ora 
pest; plowing under will destroy it completely. 
The Government says in any Southern coastal 
plains or flat woods country this grass is better 
than Bermuda Grass. Grows 2 to 2!/ feet high. 
Can also be used with good results on lawns, 
also golf courses. Would advise all of our cus- 
tomers to give this wonderful grass a thorough 
trial. Sow in September or October; also in 
February, March and April at the rate of 10 to 
15 pounds per acre. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities.

Tees 
Grasses do best on rich soil; there- 
fore for permanent pastures it will be 
wise to select good soil. Poor soils, of 
course, can be profitably utilized for 
pastures, but you will do well to start 
such pastures with a nitrogen-gather- 
ing clover or other legume and follow 
such plantings with the proper grasses 
after the clovers have stored nitrogen 
= in the soil.

Dallis Grass 
DALLIS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum). Dallis 
Grass is a perennial, and is not a pest. It grows 
continuously, except in freezing weather, a 
smaller growth in proportion to the degree of 
dryness. While it does not grow in freezing 
weather, it comes nearer growing all the year 
around than any other grass. Dallis Grass will 
gradually choke out Johnson Grass and other 
weeds, if grazed fairly close. It needs only a 
start, in order to stop washes and gullies. It is 
very easy to eradicate, one plowing will kill 
it out. In our trial grounds we found it stood 
the hot, dry summer better than any other 
grass. 
The leaves are broad, a vivid green in color, 
and bunchy in growth. It makes a good pasture 
for all kinds of livestock and can be sown any- 
where at almost any time. It is a great labor 
saver. Dairy cows and other livestock attend 
to the harvesting of this grass and no plowing, 
hoeing or cultivating is required. It will grow 
on hilly, rough or washed land and puts them 
to beneficial use. We recommend that every 
farmer give Dallis Grass a thorough trial. Sow 
about 10 pounds per acre, or mix with other 
grasses and clover most any time of the year. 
FANCY SEED. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger lots. 
Chewing’s Fescue 
CHEWING’S FESCUE (Festuca Rubra). Chew- 
ing’s Fescue Grass is used for both pasture and 
lawns. This grass seems to thrive on sandy or 
gravelly soil, where many other varieties fail. 
On account of the fine quality of turf which it 
produces, it is much used on golf courses, par- 
ticularly so, if the soil is sandy. 
The leaves are bright green and the plant 
does not grow in tufts, but creeps by under- 
ground stems, so that one plant may eventually 
cover a circle two to four feet in diameter. 
Plant at the rate of 30 pounds to the acre in 
September, October or November. Lb., $1.00; 2 
lbs., $1.90, postpaid. Please write for prices in 
larger lots.

Johnson Grass 
JOHNSON GRASS (Sorghum Halpense). Con- 
sidered one of the finest grasses for hay in the 
South. The only objection is that it is difficult 
to eradicate. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not 
prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis). Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass is not very popular in most 
sections of the South, but there is a demand 
for limited amounts for planting in sections 
where its worth has been proven. We have 
seen reasonably good results in Texas where 
planted in the shade of large trees. One pound 
of seed will sow 10x20 feet, the equivalent of 
200 square feet. Forty pounds per acre are 
required for pasture sowing. Sow in fall for best 
results. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 95c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
Michels Grass 
This grass has caused somewhat of a sensa- 
tion in certain sections, but we suggest only a 
limited irial’in the Southwest, even though it 
appears to be adapted to different soils and 
climates. Seed has every appearance of grain 
rye. It is a cross of Wild Rye Grass and Wheat. 
flant 20 pounds to the acre for pasture. Lb., 40c¢; 
2 lbs., 75c, postpaid.
