PLANT THE BEST GRASS SEEDS OBTAINABLE 
Heavy Quality Grasses for Pasture 
Nicholson‘s Tested Grass Seeds enjoy a most enviable reputation as to germination, purity and quality and are not to be confused 
with the lighter weight poor quality seeds that are usually offered at inviting prices. It is much to your advantage to plant a fewer pounds 
of better grade seed than more pounds of cheap seed that are trashy and often carry disease. Nicholson's Grass Seeds make better pastures 
NOTE: Bermuda Grass is extremely short in supply and very high in price. We expect market changes, therefore suggest that should 
you be interested in larger quantities that you write us for current prices. 
Nicholson's Extra Fancy 
Bermuda Grass 
NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY BERMUDA 
GRASS SEED (Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow on 
almost any soil, makes splendid grazing as well 
as hay. In order to have best success in the 
growing of Bermuda Grass the seed should be 
planted in the spring or later summer, when the 
weather is warm and moist. If sown before a 
wet spell the seed will come up in a very short 
time after rain. Have the ground well prepared, 
then sow the seed broadcast, at the rate of 10 
to 15 pounds per acre. After sowing run a roller 
over the land so as io firm the surface, as Ber- 
muda Grass requires a firm seed bed. Bermuda 
Grass is also splendid to use in conneciion with 
other grasses and clovers for permanent pas- 
ture. Lb., 75c; 2 ibs. $1.40, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
Nicholson's Extra Fancy 
Hulled Bermuda Grass 
NICHOLSON’S EXTRA FANCY HULLED BER- 
MUDA GRASS. This is the same as our Extra 
Fancy Bermuda Grass, but the hull is removed. 
This operation hastens germination. Many of 
our customers have reported to us that their 
plantings of the hulled seed have come up in 
seven to ten days after sowing. One of our cus- 
tomers who sows large quantities of Bermuda 
each season has written us that he will not use 
anything but the hulled seed in the future. He 
gave the hulled seed a fair trial and wads cer- 
tainly pleased and satisfied with the results.

prices in larger lots.

King Ranch Yellow Blue Stem is a widely 
adapted, deep rooted grass. Grows well in both 
low and high altitudes, in heavy or light rain 
fall areas. This grass has an exceptionally deep 
rooting system. Has been used successfully for 
reclaiming oil fields, lands from which brush 
has been cut, weedy range lands and lands 
made bare by erosion. The seed contains con- 
siderable grass or hay, therefore requires very 
little or no covering. This grass responds well 
to nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers. Plant 2 
pounds to the acre in rows or 5 pounds to the 
acre broadcast. Lb ., $3.90; 2 lbs., $7.50, post- 
paid. Please write for prices in larger lots.

all livestock. Does well on clay or heavy loam 
soil. As a whole it is well adapted to Texas.

Brome-Smooth

resistant, but not worth while in low elevation 
areas. Grows | to 3 feet high. Does not like 
continued hot areas. Leaves are wide and 
smcoth. Broadcast 15 to 20 pounds per acre.

Carpet Grass 
FANCY CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compres- 
sus). A perennial, spreading by creeping stems 
which root at every joint, thus forming a close, 
compact turf. Flourishes on land short in lime, 
thrives under grazing and trampling. Will 
stand more close grazing, trampling and over- 
flow than any pasture grass known. In barren 
desert or piney woods plants will produce a 
perpetual grazing ground. It is not a weed or a 
pest; plowing under will destroy it completely. 
The Government says in any Southern coastal 
plains or tlat woods country this grass 1s bettel 
than Bermuda Grass. Grows 2 to 2 teet high. 
Sow in September or October; also in February, 
March and April at the rate ot 10 to 15 pounds 
per acre. Lb., 60c; 2 Ibs., $1.10, postpaid. Ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
Dallis Grass 
DALLIS GRASS (Paspalum Dilatatum). Dallis 
Grass is a perennial, and is not a pest. It grows 
continuously, except in freezing weather, a 
smaller growth in proportion to the degree of 
dryness. While it does not grow in freezing 
weather, it comes nearer growing all the year 
around than any other grass. Dallis Grass will 
gradually choke out Johnson Grass and other 
weeds, if grazed fairly close. It needs only a 
start, in order to stop washes and gullies. It is 
very easy to eradicate, one plowing will kill 
it out. In our trial grounds we found it stood 
the hot, dry summer better than any other 
grass. 
It will grow on hilly, rough or washed land 
and puts them to beneficial use. We recommend 
that every farmer give Dallas Grass a thorough 
trial. Sow about 10 pounds per acre, or mix 
with other grasses and clover most any time ot 
the year.

Fescue Chewing's 
CHEWING’S FESCUE (Festuco Rubra). Chew- 
ing’s Fescue Grass is used for both pasture and 
lawns. This grass seems to thrive on sandy or 
gravelly soil, where many other varieties fail. 
The leaves are bricht green and the plant 
does not grow in tufts, but creeps by undeér- 
ground stems, so that one plant may eventually 
cover a circle two to four feet in diameter. 
Plant at the rate of 30 pounds to the acre in 
September, October or November. Lb., $1.25; 2 
lbs., $2.40, postpaid. Please write for prices in 
larger lots.

Alta Fescue are identical. Our seed of Kentucky 
31 originates in Kentucky and the Alta variety 
in the Pacific Northwest. Plant same as Alta 
Fescue. Lb., $1.10; 2 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. Write 
for prices in larger lots.

tant but will stand excessive moisture. It is a 
perennial and does not reach full productivity 
until second growing season. Enjoys a longer 
growing period than most other grasses. Sow 
in spring or fall broadcasting 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre. Lb., $1.10; 2 Ibs., $2.00, postpaid.

to eradicate. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid.

Kentucky Blue Grass 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa Pratensis). We 
have seen reasonably good results in Texas 
where planted in the shade of large trees. One 
pound of seed will sow 10x20 feet, the equiva- 
lent of 200 square feet. Forty pounds per acre 
are required for pasture sowing. Sow in fall 
for best results. Lb., $1.15; 2 lbs., $2.20, post- 
paid. Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Love Grass 
LOVE GRASS (Eragrostis Curvula). Weeping 
love grass introduced by the Soil Conservation 
Service a few years ago is proving satisfac- 
tory in some sections of Texas and Oklahoma. 
It is a perennial and native of Africa. The seed 
is very high in price and we suggest only a 
small trial planting, unless to your knowledge 
it has proven satisfactory in your immediate 
section. One pound will plant an acre. Lb., 
$1.00; 2 lbs., $1.90, postpaid. Please ask for
