Carpet Grass 
835 An excellent pasture grass for 
the lower South. It ranks between 
Carpet and Bermuda Grass in palata- 
bility and nutritive value. Bahia is a 
deep rooted, perennial grass forming a 
dense turf of leaves. The plants 
spread slowly by short, stout stolons 
and range in height up to 20 inchés. 
Once well established Bahia will stand 
temperature of 12 above zéro. § 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 % to 1 inch deep at. the rate 
of 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. Reuter offers high

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 
grass. Due to its tuft formation and compactness of growth, 
it will choke out Johnson Grass and undesirable weeds.

Bahia Grass 

830, One of. the most important and valuable permanent 
grazing grasses for the South. A perennial spreading by 
creeping stems which root at every joint, thus forming 
a close, compact turf. Compared with Bermuda Grass,

grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in the 
spring; it does better on poor, sandy soils and furnishes 
more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils and 
thrives better under hot, humid conditions. Like Bermuda, 
it is palatable and relished by all livestock. 
It is strictly -a pasture or lawn 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 sue- 
culent green pasture. Easily eradicated by plowing. It does 
splendidly sown with Lespedeza, Dallis Grass, Black Medic, 
White Clover and Bur Clover. Carpet Grass can be grown 
wherever the temperature does not fall below 10 degrees.

from March to July. Seeds may also be sown from Sept.- 
Nov., but will usually not germinate until warm weather 
sets in in. Spring. It is a drought-resisting grass and fur- 
nishes fine grazing during long dry spells, when all other 
grasses: are dead. Carpet Grass is easy to start, if you

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.

fast and is resistant to drouth. Seed
