Southern lawns are most wisely and successfully made 
with Hulled Bermuda Grass Seed for summer planting 
and summer growth. Bermuda turns brown during 
winter months and is supplemented with plump Ameri- 
can-grown Rye Grass for velvety green lawns through- 
out the late fall, winter and spring. 
Scratch Rye Grass seed in Bermuda sod in early fall 
for longest use, or any time during cool- or cold-weather 
months. Rye Grass dies with hot weather, when Ber- 
muda again comes to life with its green summer carpet. 
Initial plantings of either kind should be on well-pre- 
pared, fertile soil, worked fine and smooth, with seed 
merely pressed into the surface of a moist soil. 
American Rye or Winter Grass 
Our northwestern-grown, domestic Rye Grass Seed is plumper, heavier, 
higher germinating than the old Italian Rye Grass. It is the fastest-growing 
grass for lawn or pasture, germinating in less than a week and making a green 
covering in three weeks. Poultrymen and dairymen use it extensively for 
green winter pasture. It is the Southern standby for winter lawns and golf- 
greens, standing close and frequent mowing. Rich green in color, it is winter- 
hardy and lasts until hot summer weather, when Bermuda Grass takes its 
place in keeping a year-round green lawn. This is an annual grass, needing 
replanting each year—any time from October until spring. Plant by itself, 
with other grasses, or scratch in Bermuda sod. It’s our best winter grass. 
Sow 10 pounds per 1000 square feet of lawn. 
Hulled Bermuda Grass Seed 
Bermuda Grass is the great Southern lawn and pasture grass. Golf- 
courses, baseball, polo and other play-grounds, aviation landing fields, parade 
grounds—all need Bermuda Grass. It must be planted when the ground is 
warm or hot, May or later being best. Bermuda quickly develops a strong 
sod or turf, standing roughest use, and close mowing, and is our best summer 
grass for all sunny places. Seeding is now much cheaper, simpler and more 
satisfactory than the old method of sprigging roots. Hulled Bermuda Seed 
germinates in 10 to 15 days, instead of the month or more needed for un- 
hulled seed with its hull almost impervious to moisture. Truly, hulled seed 
has revolutionized the planting of Bermuda lawns. It is entirely satisfactory, 
growing quickly to a delightful green lawn. One pound plants 1000 square 
feet of lawn.
