ADDS TO THE CHARM OF THE HOUSE 
840 AMERICAN RYE GRASS 
The finest Winter Lawn Grass for the South. It is a 
fast-growing annual with broad, flat blades of delight- 
ful green color. Will produce a beautiful and luxuriant 
solid carpet of grass within two weeks. Sow at the rate 
of 1 pound to 75 to 100 square feet. On new lawns a 
rake can be used in mixing the seed into the surface 
soil. When sowing on a Bermuda or Carpet Jawn the 
grass should be mowed as closely as possible before 
sprinkling the seed, and for better germination the 
lawn should be given a light covering with good soil or 
Peat Moss. Lb. 35c.; 5 Ibs. $1.30, postpaid. Not pre- 
paid: 10 Ibs. $1.60; 25 Ibs. $3.60; 100 Ibs. $12.75. 
829 FANCY BERMUDA GRASS 
The most dependable Summer Lawn Grass for Southern gardens. 
Makes a tough, even, clumpless turf that recovers quickly after cut- 
ting. Lasts for years and stands long, hot, dry summers without 
injury. Succeeds on nearly all types of soil. Germinates in 20 to 30 
days with proper soil-moisture. For good, heavy stand, sow at the 
rate of 5 pounds to 1000 square feet, from March to September. 
The seed can be sown on top of your winter grass after mowing 
same closely. Pass a rake over the grass to prevent the fine seeds 
from sticking to the blades. Although a perennial, the top of Bermuda 
Grass dies down during cold winters, but will come up again the next 
spring. The Bermuda Grass seed we offer is the finest, leaf-cultivated, 
turf-producing strain, testing 98 per cent purity or better. Lb. 65c.; 
5 lbs. $2.85, postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 Ibs. $4.20; 100 Ibs. $38.00. 
826 HULLED BERMUDA GRASS 
Reuter offers his extra-fancy Bermuda Grass with the hulls re- 
moved, a new process which gives much quicker germination. Under 
favorable moisture and soil-conditions, Reuter’s Hulled Bermuda 
Grass will germinate in 8 to 10 days, almost as quick as Rye Grass. 
It is more economical because half the quantity is necessary to sow 
100 square feet of lawn. Be sure to specify hulled seed when ordering, 
as otherwise the unhulled seed will be shipped. Lb. 80c.; 5 lbs. $3.50, 
postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 Ibs. $5.50; 100 Ibs. $50.00.

828 FLAWNSEED 
Zoysia japonica. This fine-leaved lawn grass will 
thrive well both in full sun and im dense shade. Be- 
cause it grows only 3 to 4 inches tall, it requires little 
mowing. The new strain we are offering grows as rapid- 
ly as St. Augustine Grass in warm weather, is immune 
to chinch bugs and has a tendency to crowd out crab 
grass. Formerly this grass could not be planted from 
seed, for seed production was exceedingly difficult; 
however, much experimentation and laboratory work 
has now made this excellent lawn grass available to you 
m its easiest planting form—seed. Full directions for 
planting with each purchase. Lb. $5.25; 5-lb. bag, 
$25.00, postpaid. 
830 CARPET GRASS 
Splendid Lawn Grass for the South. Better than Bermuda for poor, 
sandy soil and semi-shady lawns. It is a perennial, spreading by 
creeping stems which root at every joint, thus forming a close, com- 
pact turf. Germinates in 20 to 30 days if soil is kept properly moist. 
For a closely matted lawn, sow at the rate of 5 pounds per 1000 square 
feet from March until July. Like Bermuda Grass, the seed may be 
sown on top of your winter lawn after close mowing. Reuter offers 
only stock that has been carefully analyzed for purity and germina- 
tion in our own modern Seed Laboratory. Lb. 55c.; 5 lbs. $2.40, 
postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 Ibs. $3.30; 100 Ibs. $30.00. 
ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS 
In Florida, and to an ever-increasing extent in New Orleans, the 
shady lawn problem has been solved by the use of this perennial 
creeping grass. It is a deep green, broad-bladed grass, creeping by 
means of surface runners. Somewhat similar to Carpet Grass, except 
it has a better color and stays green during ordinary winters. Seed 
is not available, but lawns are established with rooted runners, laid 
down in parallel trenches about 8 to 10 inches apart and 2 inches 
deep, with a flat slope on one side and nearly vertical on the other. A 
bushel will plant from 150 to 200 square feet, depending on how 
close it is set. Not prepaid: Bus. $2.25; 10 bus. $20.00.
