Extra Fancy Hulled 
Bermuda Grass 
QUICK GERMINATING 
Bermuda Grass is without a doubt the one 
best grass for lawns in the South. We are 
able to offer you this wonderful grass in the 
hulled seed. This operation hastens germina- 
tion, as the hulled seed will germinate in 
seven to ten days from time of planting and 
has proved to be a boon to new home build- 
ers who wish to establish a new lawn in a 
minimum of time. Using seed is so much less 
expensive than sod. 
This seed should be used at the rate of five 
pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet. 
March, April and May are the best months 
for sowing. 
Liven up your old lawn or establish a new 
one with Fancy Hulled Bermuda Grass Seed. 
Lb., $1.35; 2 lbs., $2.50, postpaid. Please ask

EXTRA FANCY BERMUDA GRASS SEED 
(Cynodon Dactylon). Will grow on almost 
any soil, and is the finest grass to sow in 
the South for summer lawns. In order to 
have the best success in the growing of Ber- 
muda Grass the seed should be planted in 
the spring or late summer, when the weather 
is warm or 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. After the sow- 
ing run a roller over the land so as to firm 
the surface, as Bermuda Grass requires a firm 
seed bed. For lawns sow 5 to 10 pounds to 
every 1,000 square feet, 20x50, mixed with 
dry sand before sowing. Prices: Lb., $1.10; 2 
lbs., $2.00, postpaid. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
KENTUCKY BLUE (Poa Pratensis). this grass 
is used for winter lawn and shady spots in 
the South. We do not recommend it except 
for certain sections where it has been proven. 
One pound will sow 10x20 feet. Extra heavy 
seed. Price: Lb., $1.15: 2 Ibs., $2.20, postpaid. 
Please ask for prices in larger quantities. 
CARPET GRASS (Axonopus Compressus). 
Carpet Grass is very satisfactory for plant- 
ing in shaded spots, under trees, etc., where 
Bermuda will not grow. It is used extensively 
in South Texas and other Gulf Coast sections 
for general lawn purposes. It is a perennial 
creeping grass that forms a close compact 
turf, has a groad leaf and rather heavy 
stem and grows well on land short in lime. 
This grass is worthy of a trial in shaded spots 
where you have not been successful in grow- 
ing other grasses as it seems to require less 
plant food than other grasses. Price: Lb., 
$1.25: 2 lbs., $2.40, postpaid. Please write for 
prices in larger lots. 
RED TOP (Agrostis Alba). A dandy grass 
for winter lawns, it is slow in starting, but

lished. Can be planted on your Bermuda 
lawn late in the fall. One pound will sow

2 lbs., $1.90, postpaid. Please ask for prices

NICHOLSON’S MIXED SHADY LAWN 
GRASS. Especially prepared for shady places 
where Bermuda will not grow, such as spots 
under trees, etc. Befcre sowing cut out as

sible, as these sap the life of the soil. Loosen 
the top of the soil, then give a top dressing 
of Nicholson‘’s Pulverized and Sterilized Sheep 
Manure. Sow the grass seeds and rake them 
in lightly, keeping them well watered during 
the summer. One pound will sow 10x20 feet, 
the equivalent of 200 square feet of space.
