834. (Paspalum Dilatatum.) One of the most valuable, per- 
manent pasture grasses in the South. Comes hearer srow- 
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 flood 
conditions on lowlands. Light freezes do not injure this 
erass. Due to its tuft formation and compactness of growth, 
it will, choke out Johnson Grass and undesirable weeds. 
Combines

Carpet Grass>is its equal in -feeding value; it may be

spring; it doeS ‘better on poor, sandy soils and furnishes 
more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils and 
ihrives better under hot, humid conditions. Like Bermuda,

845 Giant Blue Panicum is +a new 
marvel among pasture grasses. It: is 
rich in protein and food value and: 
yields per acre more than double that 
of Alfalfa. Panic Grass is a perennial 
bunch grass. It doesn’t make much 
growth for the first several months 
during which time it 
is 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
