WOOD'S HAY and PASTURE GRASSES 
Use only the highest quality grass and clover seed to secure the finest weed-free pastures. 
KENTUCKY 31 FESCUE 
Has the same adaptability and growth as alta fescue. It is a true lifetime 
grass and forms a dense sod in one year that will hold livestock up in wet 
weather. The grass is a true evergreen grass that grows the year-round. Grows 
most during cool weather and furnishes a great deal of winter grazing in the 
southern states. Drill or broadcast 10 to 15 Ibs. of Ky. 31 or alta fescue per 
acre. Makes best pasture in combination with ladino clover. (See page 46.) 
Can also be sown with Korean, red clover and alfalfa. 
ALTA FESCUE 
This is a strain of tall fescue. It is a long lived, bunch type grass enitrely dif- 
ferent from the short lived Meadow Fescue. It is the highest yielding grass at 
virtually every experiment station where it has been tried; East, West, North or 
South. It will grow wherever orchard grass will grow and will out-yield it. The 
same is true of timothy, Ky. blue grass, tall meadow oat grass and broom 
grass. It stands more water, more alkali, and more drought than any of the 
grasses named above, having a root system 4 to 6 inches deep. It has wide 
adaptability, longest pasture season of any grass, and highest yielding grass 
for pasture, hay and silage. It is similar in growth to Kentucky 31 Fescue. Ow- 
ing to heavy demand last fall for alta fescue, stocks are limited for spring use. 
Sow 1 to 2 Ibs. ladino clover with 12 Ibs. alta or Ky. 31 fescue per acre for an 
excellent permanent pasture crop. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Extra Fancy Onion Free Seed 
One of the best long-lived, deep-rooted ¢rc° cs 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, crows vigorously and produces large 
crops of nutritious hay relished by all livc_tock. It recovers quick!y when cut or 
grazed. It grows fhe year round with tiaximum growth in the spring and fall. 
It should be used more in Southern pasiures, 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 grass to grow with ladino clover (1 to 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 lawns 1 Ib. to 200 
square feet. Hulled Bermuda Grass germinates much more quickly than unhulled 
seed.

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 | Ib. to 200 square 
ooh a 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. !t 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, 1 Ib. to 250 sq. feet of lawn. 
'sIGHLAND BENT—Certified Blue Tag 
(classed as probably the hardiest and most aggressive of the bent grasses. A 
strong creeper and very drought resistant. Other bent grasses quoted on price.

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.
