830 Rapidly proving itself the most important 
and valuable permanent grazing grass for the South. 
A perennial spreading by creeping stems which root at 
every joint, thus forming a close, compact turf. Compared 
with Bermuda Grass, Carpet Grass is its equal in feeding 
value; it may be grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier 
in the spring; it does better on poor, sandy soils and furnishes 
more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils and thrives 
better under hot, humid conditions, Like Bermuda, it is palatable 
and relished by all livestock. 
It is strictly a pasture grass and stands close grazing and heavy 
trampling; in fact, it grows best and spreads more rapidly when closely 
grazed and trampling seems to improve it. Can be sown over your pres- 
ent pasture, creek bottoms, or cut-over woodland without plowing or 
discing. Produces practically year-round succulent green pasture, fully 
equal to Kentucky Blue Grass. Easily eradicated by plowing. It does 
splendidly sown with Lespedeza, Dallis Grass, Black Medic, White Clover 
and Bur Clover. Carpet Grass can be grown wherever the- temperature 
does not fall below 10 degrees. February, March and April are the best 
months to plant, but it may be sown successfully any months except 
in mid-summer. It is a drought-resisting grass and furnishes fine 
grazing during long dry spells, when all other grasses are déad. 
Carpet Grass is easy to start, if you plant first quality seed. Most of 
the seeds on’ the market are low grade. Reuter’s stock is the finest 
available from the choicest meadows in the South, and every lot 
has been carefully analyzed for purity and germination in our own 
modern seed laboratory in charge of a graduate seed analyst.
