WOOD’S HIGH QUALITY GRASS SEEDS. There is prob- 
ably more difference in quality of grass seeds than most 
Yet farmers usually cannot detect this differ- 
ence by appearance and must rely on the seedsman to be sure 
of getting seed free of noxious weeds. Our 60 years experi- 
ence enables us to offer the finest quality obtainable.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—The best permanent lawn or pas- 
ture grass for well drained rich heavy soils containing lime and 
phosphate in the Piedmont and mountains. It makes the richest, 
Sweetest nutritious pasture, spreading and growing better if close- 
ly grazed. It grows vigorously in spring and fall; less vigorously 
in Summer and winter. 15 lbs. per acre for pasture, or 1 lb. to 200 
Square feet of lawn. Sow in early spring or fall to get a good start 
before summer weeds. For extra high grade quality order ‘Super 
Grade.”’ 
DALLAS GRASS—Paspalum dilatatum, Imported. The splendid 
permanent grass for year round Southern pastures, as it comes 
nearer growing the year round than most other grasses whether in 
mild winter or hot dry summer. Stock prefer it, it fattens, stops 
erosion, and furnishes fine grazing. At the Florida Everglades 
Experiment Station it fattened 10 steers per acre. Unlike Carpet 
Grass, it allows clovers, lespedezas and other pasture grasses to 
grow freely with it, but chokes out objectionable weeds. Close 
grazing is recommended. Once established it lasts indefinitely, 
but is not a pest as cultivation kills it. It grows rapidly even after 
killing frost, except in extremely cold weather. It furnishes green 
pasturage in mild weather in mid-winter. Although best on heavy 
moist soil, it does well on all types, including dry hillsides, acid 
soils, etc. It is fairly good for hay. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre in 
early spring, but can be sown the year round. Our supply is extra 
fancy imported seeds, free from weed seeds. Sow only imported 
Australian grown seeds. Domestic seeds are generally of too low 
quality and germination, besides having a heavy weed seed content.

ORCHARD GRASS—One of the best long-lived, deep-rooted 
grasses for year round pasture or hay or to reseed on old alfalfa 
sods, It does well on practically every type of soil, including acid 
soils, thrives in the shade, grows vigorously and produces large 
crops of nutritious hay relished by all livestock. It recovers quick- 
It grows the year round with maximum 
growth in the spring and fall. It should be used more in Southern Y 
pastures as it furnishes winter grazing when most crops are dor- 
mant.

As it grows in bunches it should be seeded with other 
grasses and should be included in every hay or pasture mixture.

CARPET GRASS—The grass that 
thrives on close grazing. One of the © 
most valuable permanent grazing 
grasses for that section of the South 
extending from the Atlantic Ocean 
and Gulf and approximately 125 to. 
150 miles inland. It is remarkable _ 
for its ability to grow on poor sandy 
soils; it may be grazed considerably 
later than Bermuda grass in the fall 
and earlier in the spring: it does bet- 
ter on poor sandy soils and furnishes. 4 
more grazing. It is strictly a pasture es 
grass and stands close grazing and 
heavy trampling. It thrives best and 
spreads more rapidly when closely 
grazed. It does splendidly sown with 
japan clover and bur clover, giving 
an all-the-year pasture. It is easily 
eradicated by plowing. Sow from 
early spring till summer. 12 Ibs. per 
acre, 1 lb. to 250 sq. feet of lawn. 
Last year the government froze _ 
both carpet and Bermuda grasses. — 
et we meantime both have been re- ms 
eased.
