Pasture Mixtures 
TESTED AND PROVED 
FOR EACH SECTION 
North and Central Texas — Ber- 
muda, in North and Central Texas, 
may be established from seed or 
may be sodded in clumps, and since 
it spreads very rapidly, you get a 
good stand quickly. If you sod, or 
if you already have a Bermuda 
stand, plant our Pasture Mixture 
for North and Central Texas. This 
consists of Rye, Dallis, and Rescue 
Grasses, Hubam, Spotted Leaf Bur, 
and Sweet Clover. Sow at the rate 
of 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
East Texas Sandy Uplands—In this 
section, also it is very desirable to 
have a Bermuda base. Our mixture 
consists of Rescue, Dallis, and Rye 
Grasses and Hubam, Lespedeza and 
Spotted Leaf Bur Clovers, 
which 
should be sown at the rate of 20 to 
25 pounds per acre. 
East Texas Black Lands—Mixture 
consists of Bermuda, Rescue, Rye 
and Dallis Grasses, and Hubam, 
Hop and Sweet Clovers. Sow at the 
rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Where a stand of Bermuda is al- 
ready had, the mixture may be 
ordered without the Bermuda Grass 
Seed. 
Bottom Lands in Southeast Texas— 
Our pasture mixture for this terri- 
tory consists of Bermuda, Rye, Dal- 
lis and Carpet Grasses, and Les- 
pedeza, Hop, White Dutch and 
Hubam Clover. Sow at the rate of 
20 to 25 pounds to the acre. 
NOTE:—Bur Clover in the wool of 
sheep penalizes the producer. If you 
plan to pasture sheep, order Pasture 
Mixture less Bur Clover and other 
seeds will be substituted. 


Sudan Grass 
RED TOP OR HERD’S GRASS 
A perennial of creeping habit for hay 
making or winter pastures and green 
winter lawns. It is recommended for 
heavy, moist lowlands, as it withstands 
wet weather but also does well on most 
any good rich soil. It is tolerant of 
acid soils. Grows about 2 feet high. 
Sow Broadcast 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
RESCUE GRASS 
Rescue Grass, sometimes called Prairie 
Grass, a winter annual bunch grass, 
leafy and palatable makes a very good 
winter and spring pasture. It is adapt- 
able to practically any soil condition. 
Very nutritious and stock like it. Good 
on cultivated land or in permanent pas- 
ture mixtures. Reseeds itself, and will 
come up the following fall after dying 
out in late spring. Broadcast from 
October to May, 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. 
RHODES GRASS 
One of the most valuable pasture, hay 
and erosion control grasses for lower 
southwest Texas. Endures short periods 
of cold and long periods of hot weather. 
Plants 2 to 4 feet tall with perennial 
spreading runners. Stems numerous, 
very leafy, palatable and nutritious. 
Not a pest, easily plowed out and im- 
proves soil for following crop. Plant 
September ; February to May, 10 to 20 
pounds per acre. 
VELVET GRASS 
Also Known as Mesquite) 
(Not the same as Texas Curly 
Mesquite) 
A hardy long-lived perennial with soft 
broad leaves, never getting coarse. 
Grows from 8 to 12 inches high. Es- 
pecially recommended to sow with other 
grasses. Provides good grazing or pro- 
duces a good quantity of hay, but if 
planted alone does not yield as large 
a tonnage as many other grasses. 
Drouth resistant and adaptable to 
most soil conditions. Sow in September 
or October; also March and April, 20 
to 25 lbs. per acre. 
WEEPING LOVEGRASS 
Eaten readily by livestock either dry 
or green. Has long grazing period. 
This long lived, perennial bunch grass 
grows rapidly into large dense clumps. 
Spreads by offsets forming at nodes on 
stems which send out aerial runners to 
establish themselves as new plants. 
Gives good results on most any type 
soil. Drouth and cold resistant. Plant 
February to June, 1 to 2% lbs. per 
acre. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
Perennial bunch grass. Hardy and 
long-lived. Because of deep root sys- 
tem (5-6 ft.), it is highly drouth re- 
sistant and withstands cold. Common- 
ly used in permanent pastures and 
does well on a variety of soils from 
clay to sand. Its early spring growth 
is relished by livestock. Plant Septem- 
ber and October, 12 to 16 lbs. per acre. 
ALFALFA 
Alfalfa, a perennial, is adaptable to al- 
most any climate and many soils, ex- 
cept acid soils which should be cor- 
rected by the use of lime and ample 
drainage. Deep soils with liberal lime 
content and low water level are best 
for maximum alfalfa production. Alfal- 
fa is not used extensively for grazing 
but it ranks first in hay production in 
the United States. Alfalfa, when in- 
oculated, enriches the soil. Sow Sep- 
tember to November and February to 
April. Sow 20 pounds per acre in well 
prepared, clean, firm soil, covering 
about one inch with harrow, followed 
by roller. Keep weeds clipped down 
with mower until alfalfa thoroughly 
covers the ground. 
Common—The deep tap root of Com- 
mon Alfalfa assures drouth resistance 
and winter hardiness. May be cut from 
3 to 5 times a year. The variety gen- 
erally planted in Texas and Oklahoma. 
Hairy Peruvian—Not so winter hardy, 
but very drouth resistant. May be cut 
more often than other varieties but 
hay of lower quality. The stems and 
leaves are covered with fine, short 
hairs which gives the variety its gray- 
ish appearance. 
SUDAN GRASS - For Grazing, Hay and Ensilage 
SWEET SUDAN 
Sweet Sudan, an annual, has 
established itself in Texas 
pasture work. It produces 
abundant forage of high sugar 
content, very palatable to 
cattle. Leaves are broader, 
and it stools more _ heavily 
than common Sudan. Seed is 
resistant to foliage diseases. 
This grass has proved produc- 
tive and very desirable par- 
ticularly where a sweet grow- 
ing crop is desired, ensilage 
grown or a flavorful hay crop 
is wanted. Plant from 8 to 10 
lbs. per acre in row—35 lbs. 
when broadcast. 

COMMON SUDAN 
An ‘annual. Being hardy, it may be 
planted wherever there is sufficient 
fertility to produce cotton or corn. 
Survives drouth remarkably well. For 
hay, sow broadcast and harrow in, us- 
ing from 20 to 25 pounds of seed per 
acre. Grass should not be grazed until 
plants are from 15 to 18 inches high. 
Plant when soil is warm from March 
to July. 
Sudan is a splendid forage crop, that 
has proved of immeasurable value to 
Texas farmers. For temporary pasture 
or supplemental grass and hay, it is 
thoroughly dependable. Our seeds are 
pure, true to type and free from all 
noxious weeds, and Johnson Grass.
