ASGROW SEEDS ARE BRED — NOT JUST GROWN 
DEAR CUSTOMER: 
No doubt you have had inquiries about pasture grasses. One of the newer pasture grass is Yellow Blue Stem K.R. 
Strain. It is this grass and other grasses that we wish to call to your attention this month. 
YELLOW BLUE STEM: Yellow Blue Stem is a cousin to the well known native grass, Little Blue Stem. A native 
of India, there are several strains of this grass, but the K.R. Strain shows a marked improvement over the Common 
Yellow Blue Stem. It is easily established, is more nutritious to live stock, can stand up better under grazing pressure, 
makes more growth, is cold resistant, can be harvested for seed more easily, reseeds itself even under adverse condi- 
tions and provides better erosion control than other known strains of the Yellow Blue Stem. 
Yellow Blue Stem Grass is a tall perennial Blue Stem. The early stems spread out and hug the ground, forming 
erosion-resisting rosettes. Later growth of stems grow two or three feet tall. Good sized leafy tufts are formed the 
first year. The tops of the stems turn a pale yellow in the fall. The plants make almost a continuous growth in the 
mid-southwest. 
BOER LOVEGRASS: (Blue Lovegrass) Boer Lovegrass is a long lived, perennial bunch grass. It makes rapid 
growth, starts stooling early, forms dense clumps and for a given period will produce about one-third fewer vegetative 
culms than Weeping Lovegrass. The basal leaves, which constitute the bulk of the foliage are rather long, 24 to 36 
inches, narrow, slightly rough to the touch, flexible, curving, and characteristically bluish in color. Where it is not too 
cold, the lower part of the leaves remain green and nondormant over winter. 
WEEPING LOVEGRASS: (African Lovegrass) Weeping Lovegrass is a long lived perennial bunch grass, indivi- 
dual specimens of which develop into very large, dense clumps. Growth is rapid and stooling begins within 4 to 6 
weeks after planting. Under favorable conditions several hundred closely packed clums form on the crown the first 
year. As the plant grows older, offsets commonly form at the nodes for some distance up the stem. These offsets fre- 
quently send out aerial roots and establish themselves as new plants in the debris around the crown of the mother 
piants. The basal leaves are long (24 to 48 inches) slender and curving. They taper to very fine, hairlike brownish 
threads which often tangle with those of neighboring plants. Noticeably purplish at the base while young, they are 
generally light green through the succeeding growing season, changing to greyish brown or a reddish shade and 
becoming somewhat dry and tough in the fall and during severe drought, but remaining green and comparatively 
soft at the base and in a nondormant condition all winter. 
LEHMANN LOVEGRASS: (Mat Lovegrass) Lehmann Lovegrass is a perennial grass, but unlike Weeping or 
Boer Lovegrass the stems are commonly prostrate and take root and produce new plants at the nodes. The stems 
are slender, smooth, flexible and from 18 to 36 inches long. While they are fewer in number as they emerge from 
the crown than in the case of the other Lovegrasses, this is counterbalanced by early and profuse branching and rapid 
new plant development by layering. The leaves are short, 3 to 6 inches, dark green, smooth and narrow, tapering 
to a fine straight point. ‘The seed stalks are characteristically numerous and normally attain an average height of 
about 2 feet. The seed are similar in shape and color to those of Weeping Lovegrass, but about one fourth the size. 
BLUE PANIC: A deep-rooted, perennial bunch grass that forms good-sized tough crowns by means of thick, short, 
bulbous rhizomes. It may reach a height of 6 feet under best growing conditions. The lower half of the stems have 
large nodes and bony internodes. Branching from the lower nodes is common if the main stem is cut off. The panicles 
are terminal on the stems and branches. 
We are now booking the above mentioned grasses for delivery in September to November 1947, our option. These 
bookings are made subject to growing crops.
