WOOD'S HAY AND PASTURE GRASSES 

Use only the highest quality grass and clover seed to secure the finest weed-free pastures. 
ALTA FESCUE 
AGRICULTURAL AUTHORITIES SAY ALTA FESCUE IS IDENTICAL IN GROWTH, 
ADAPTABILITY, ETC., TO KENTUCKY 31 FESCUE. 
Alta Fescue originated as a plant selection from a 4-year-old planting of Tall 
Fescue in 1923. It was first distributed in 1934 and has been tested for 15 years. 
It is considered by agricultural authorities the finest over-all forage grass in 
existence today. It is rapidly becoming an extremely popular grass throughout 
the United States from Oregon to Florida. Alta is very palatable, stock liking 
it at all pasturable stages. The extensive rooting system is unbelievably dense 
and reaches as much as 5 to 6 ft. deep. Where fields have been down for several 
years and plowed under yields of grain have nearly doubled over previous 
Production. The rooting system becomes so dense over a period of years that 
it is known to definitely choke out onion, buckhorn and other noxious weeds. 
Clemson College, S. C., authorities claim it the most promising grass in our 
generation. Winter growth is almost continuous in milder climates. Recovery is 
particularly rapid in the early spring, and after the first fall rains. Hay yields 
have ranged from 1 to 2 tons per acre. In Eastern Oregon for six-year period, 
Alta had the highest average hay yield of all other forage grasses, including 
timothy, orchard grass, meadow fescue and rye grass. It grows slowly in the 
seedling stage and usually requires one full growing season to become fully 
established. Alfa is an excellent grass to saw with alfalfa, ladino and other 
clovers, using 8 to 12 Ibs. per acre of Alta. When seeded alone, use 15 to 20 
Ibs. per acre. The Williamsburg, Va., State Experiment Station tests last year 
showed no difference between Alta Fescue and Kentucky 31. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Extra Fancy Onion Free Seed 
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, in- 
cluding acid soils, thrives in the shade, grows vigorously and produces large 
crops of nutritious hay relished by all livestock. It recovers quickly 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 dormant. As it grows in bunches, it should be seeded with other 
grasses and should be included in every hay or pasture mixture. Sow 14 Ibs. per 
acre with other grasses or 30 to 35 Ibs. alone, in early spring or fall. An excel- 
lent ‘ig to grow with Ladino clover (2 Ibs. Ladino and 12 Ibs. Orchard per 
acre). 
BERMUDA GRASS 
Extra fancy seed, testing 98% 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 summer 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. Sow 12 Ibs. per acre; for Jawns | Ib. to 
200 square feet.

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, etc. It 
is fairly good for hay. Sow 6 to 8 Ibs. per acre in 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, BE- 
SIDES HAVING A HEAVY WEED SEED CONTENT. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
THE BEST PERMANENT LAWN OR PASTURE GRASS FOR WELL DRAINED RICH 
HEAVY SOILS CONTAINING LIME AND PHOSPHATE IN THE PIEDMONT AND 
MOUNTAINS. It makes the richest, nutritious pasture, spreading and growing 
better if closely grazed. It grows vigorously in spring and fall; less vigorously 
in summer and winter. 30 to 40 Ibs. per acre for pasture, or 1 Ib. to 200 square 
feet of lawn. Sow in early spring or fall to get a good start before summer 
weeds. 
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 approximately 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 
or sandy loam soils, particularly where the moisture is near the surface most of 
the year. It is strictly a pasture grass and stands close grazing and heavy 
trampling. It thrives best and spreads more rapidly when closely grazed. It 
does splendidly sown with Japan clover and bur clover, giving an all-the-year 
pasture. Sow from early spring till summer. 12 Ibs. per acre, | Ib. to 250 sq. 
feet of lawn. 
COLONIAL CREEPING BENT 
MAKES THE BEST LAWN SOD OR GOLF PUTTING GREEN IN THE EASTERN 
STATES. Similar in growth, persistence and wide soil adaptation to its cousin 
red top. Has shorter, finer, upright leaves and creeps underground. Sow 1 lb. 
to 200 square feet in spring or fall. 
CHEWING'S FESCUE 
A SPLENDID PERMANENT GRASS FOR SHADE OR LAWNS. It is hardy; per- 
sists with very little moisture, fertility, or sunlight in spite of heat or cold; grows 
on any soils; produces a dense dark green turf of short fine needle-like leaves: 
requires little cutting or attention. Excellent for shaded pastures. Sow 30 Ibs. 
per acre in spring or fall. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE 
Very similar in growth to Chewing's Fescue, but with more of a creeping habit. 
Has a softer texture, deeper color, and is considered superior for pastures. Does 
not grow quite as bunchy as Chewing's.
