BEST QUALITY GRASS SEEDS ARE THE CHEAPEST 
Nicholson’s Heavy Hi-Quality Grasses for Pasture 
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 Ber- 
muda Grass requires a firm seed bed. Bermuda 
Grass is also splendid to use in connection with 
other grasses and clovers for permanent pas- 
ture. In the fall, Red Top Grass or Rye Grass 
can be sown on the Bermuda Grass and in this 
way will produce green grass all winter, as 
these will take the place of the Bermuda. Lb., 
75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 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 cus- 
tomers who sows large quanities of Bermuda 
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 cer- 
tainly pleased and satisfied with the results. 
Lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.90, postpaid. Please ask for 
prices in larger lots. 
Bird Grass 
POA TRIVIALIS (Bird Grass). A splendid 
grass to sow under the shade of trees or in 
shady places where other 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 (Treated Seed). Treated so 
as to hasten and increase germination. A most 
nutritious grass for all livestock. Does well on 
clay or heavy loam soil. As a whole it is well 
adapted to Texas. After starting, the plants 
spread rapidly, by means of surface runners. 
Lb., $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. Please ask 
for price in larger quantities. 
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 Septersber or October; also in 
February, March and April at the rate of 10 to 
15 pounds per acre. Lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.10, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
UCTS 
It is wise to consider the quality of 
your land if you plan to put in grasses for 
a permanent pasture, since grasses re- 
quire a rich soil to do their best. Poor land, 
in time, can be made to produce a good 
pasture, but first plantings should be 
Clovers or some other legume which will 
store nitrogen in the soil. This will greatly 
increase chances for better results from 
grass plantings.

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., 65c; 2 lbs., $1.20, 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., $1.10; 2 
Ibs., $2.00, 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., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c, postpaid. Ac- 
count of very small quantity of seed harvested, 
please ask for prices in larger lots. 
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 aq 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 ot 
200 square feet. Forty pounds per acre are 
required for pasture sowing. Sow in fall for best 
results. Lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities.
