An Early Starting—Fast Growing Grass 
We receive many requests for a grass that can be sown early in the 
spring and make a good growth that same year. It is well known that 
grasses like Kentucky Blue Grass and Timothy will not make a large 
growth the first year'and especially not early in the year. Domestic 
Rye Grass will make a good yield early. You can sow it as-early as any 
grasses or about small grain seeding time. It sprouts quite quickly and 
grows fast. 
This Rye Grass will normally not live over winter and should be considered an an- 
nual. Its greatest value is as a pasture crop and has special merit in mixtures. The 
leaves are somewhat like Blue Grass but a little broader and lighter green in color and 
rows taller. Do not confuse this with Rye that is sown for grain as it is entirely dif- 
erent. Most lawn grasses contain Domestic Rye Grass to provide green growth 
while the slower growing grasses are getting started. It responds well to favorable 
moisture conditions and good soil fertility. 
A crop like Sudan Grass will make a much larger growth than Domestic Rye Grass 
and will stand more heat and drouth. However, you cannot sow Sudan until around 
corn planting time while Domestic Rye Grass in at oat seeding time and for early 
pasture, alone or im mixtures, be sure to use some of this fine grass. When sown 
alone use 25 lbs. per acre.
