WOOD'S HAY AND PASTURE GRASSES 
~WOOD’S HIGH QUALITY GRASS SEEDS. There is prob- 
ably more difference in quality of grass seeds than most 
other seeds. 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. 30 to 40 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. 
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 it is not a pest as cultivation kills 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, ete, It is fafrly good for hay. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre in

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- 
ly when cut or grazed. It grows the year round with maximum 
growth in the spring and fall. It should be used more in Southern 
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. 
Sow 14 lbs. per acre with other grasses or 30 to 35 lbs. alone, in 
early spring or fall. Our seeds are strictly onion free. 
BERMUDA GRASS—Extra fancy seed, testing 99% pure. The 
blue grass of the South. Makes a vigorous and persistent growth 
in every part of the South; lasts for years; stands a long, hot sum- 
mer without injury; grows well in any soil that is not too wet; 
bears heavy grazing and trampling with little injury; recovers 
quickly when grazed down, and as a grazing and fattening grass, 
has few equals. If grown with bur clover, japan clover, carpet 
grass and vetch, all-the-year-round grazing may be had. For 
lawns, golf courses and athletic grounds it makes a tough, even 
turf without clumps, and recovers quickly after cutting. Sow 
when the ground is thoroughly warm. Hulled Bermuda grass 
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. 
Owing to a severe drought in Australia only a limited supply is 
available. We have been able to secure only about one-fourth of 
our usual requirement. 
germinates at least 50% quicker than unhulled seeds. Sow 12 lbs. 
per acre; for lawns 1 lb. to 200 square feet. 
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 ap- 
proximately 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 better on sandy
