835 An excellent pasture grass for 
the lower South. It ranks between 
Carpet. and Bermuda Grass-in palata- 
bility and -nutritive- value and-is a 
wonderful turf former. Bahia is a 
deep rooted, perennial grass forming a 
dense turf of leaves. The plants 
spread slowly by short, stout stolens 
and range in-height up to 30 inches. 
Once well established Bahia will stand 
temperature of 12 above’ zero. It ‘is 
widely adapted, growing’ on both ‘high 
and low soils and will grow on :drier 
land than other pasture grasses be- 
cause of its deep root system. Sow 
the seed 42 to-1-ineh-deep at: the ‘rate 
ef 10. to 20 pounds per acre. Seed 
often germinates slowly as they are 
surrounded by a waxy coat which 
does not. readily allow. water to enter 
for germination, Reuters offers high

834 (Paspalum Dilatatum.) One of the most valuable per- 
manent pasture grasses in the South. Comes hearer grow- 
ing year-round than any. other. grass., Cultivation. readily 
kills it. Makes its fastest growth on heavy or moist bot- 
tomland, but gives satisfactory results on dry hill lands, 
and will even grow in burnt-over timber land. It stops 
washes and gullies. Withstands-continued drought remark- 
ably well. We know of'no better grass to withstand fidod 
conditions on lowlands, Light freezes do rot injure this 
grass. Due to its tuft formation and compactness of. growth, 
it will choke. out Johnson Grass and undesirable weeds’ 
’ Combines ‘well with Bermuda and Carpet Grasses, and 
once started in mixtures keeps a satisfactory balance: with 
other \crops.. .Lespedeza grows well with Dallis Grass mix-

BAHIA GRASS 

830 Rapidly proving itself the most important and val- 
uable permanent grazing grass for the South. A perennial 
spreading , by. creeping ‘stems ‘which root at every joint, 
thus forming a close, compact turf. Compared with Ber- 
-muda Grass, Carpet Grass is its equal in feeding value; 
it may be grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier 
in the spring; it does better on poor, sandy soils and. fur- 
nishes' more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils 
and thrives better: under hot, humid. conditions, Like 
Bermuda, it is palatable and rélished by all livestock, 
It is strictly a pasture grass and. stands close grazing 
and heavy tramPling; in fact, it grows best and spreads 
more rapidly when. closely grazed and trampling seems to 
improve it, Can ,be sown over your present pasture, 
creek bottoms, or cut-over woodland without plowing or 
discing. Produces practically year-round succulent. green 
pasture, fully..edual to Kentucky Blue Grass. Easily 
eradicated by plowing. It does splendidly sown with 
Lespedeza, Dallis: Grass, Black Medic, White Clover. and 
Clover. “Carpet Grass can be grown wherever’ the 
temperature does not fall below 10 degrees.. Fall sowings 
fare conducted during September, October and November, 
and spring from Mareh‘ until July. It is a drought-resist- 
Ing srass and furnishes: fine. grazing during long dry 
spells, when all’ other grasses. are dead. Carpet Grass is 
easy to start, if you plant first quality seed. Most of the 
seeds on the market are low grade. Reuter’s stock is the 
finest available from the choicest meadows in the South.

25 to 30 Ibs. for law

845 Giant. Blue Panicum is a new 
marvel among pasture grasses. ft is 
rich in protein. and food .value “and 
yields per acre more than double that 
of Alfalfa. Panic Grass is a perefinial 
bunch grass. It ‘doesn’t make much 
srowth for the first several nionths 
during which time itis building a 
root system. After it gets the roots 
well established it grows amazingly 
fast. and is resistant to drouth; Seed 
should be planted in moist soil and 
covered lightly using only. 1 pound 
per acre. It may be advisable to mix 
the fine seed with some dry ‘sand in 
order to be able to sow the seeds 
evenly. Rolling after planting the’ seed 
will often improve the germination 
and give a better stand. Write for free

in the spring commencing in January. Broadcast 10 ‘to 
15. lbs. per acre.if sown alone, 
Reuter offersboth Louisiana-grown and imported seed.
