greatest all year round pasture, hay and silo grass for the 
South. It is a perennial grass attaining a height of from 
2% to 3 feet. Grows practically the ee round in favorable 
seasons. The growth may be.somewhat slow the first year, 
but should be rapid and vigorous after that time. Alta Fescue 
is adapted to nearly all soils in the South that will retain 
the needed moisture and is particularly tolerant to wet and 
even overflowing land. When planted with clovers for mixed 
pasture it will greatly curtail clover bloat.

again in February and March. Fall planting, however, is 
recommended. Sow at the rate of 10 to 15 Ibs. of seeds

KCPULLCM / PODCLE 
823 (Certified) Kentucky 31 is a perennial bunch grass 
similar to Orchard Grass but with more of a spreading habit 
of growth. Unlike Orchard Grass the bunches increase in 
size and it eventually makes a close tight sod. It puts up 
blades in great. numbers with possibly the greatest rate of 
growth in the late Summer, Fall and Winter when it stays 
noticeably greener than ther perennials. It. is best suited 
for use aS a permanent pasture grass since it improves 
with age. It will grow almost anywhere but the better 
the soil, the better the grass. It is particularly suited to 
wet ground and will survive water standing on it for weeks 
at a time. It also grows well on high ground and stands 
drought well. A well prepared seed bed is advised but not 
absolutely necessary. Sow between Mid-August to Mid- 
October. Plant 10 to 20 pounds to the acre depending on 
whether a dense sod is desired or not. Grows well with

830 Carpet Grass is one of the most important and val- 
uable permanent grazing grasses for the South, A perennial 
spreading by creeping stems which root at every joint, thus 
forming a close, compact turf. Compared with Bermuda 
Grass, Carpet Grass is its equal in feeding value; if may 
be grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in the 
spring; it does better.on poor, sandy soils and furnishes 
more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils and 
thrives better under hot, humid conditions. Like Bermuda, 
it is palatable and relished by all livestock. 
It is strictly a pasture or lawn grass and stands close 
grazing and heavy trampling; in fact, it grows best and 
spreads more rapidly when closely grazed and trampling 
seems to improve it. Can be sown over your present pasture, 
creek bottom, or cut-over woodland without plowing or 
discing. Produces practically year-round succulent green 
pasture. Easily eradicated by plowing. It does splendidly 
sown with Lespedeza, Dallis Grass, Black Medic, White 
Clover and Bur Clover. Carpet Grass can be grown wher- 
ever the temperature does not fall below 10 degrees. Fall 
sowings are conducted during Sept., Oct. and Nov. It is a 
drought-resisting grass and furnishes fine grazing during 
long dry spells, when all other grasses are dead. Carpet

LAW CRA IS 
845 Giant Blue Panicum is a marvel among pasture 
grasses. It is a deep-rooted perennial bunch grass that 
forms good sized, tough crowns by means of thick, short, 
bulbous rhizones. The plants may reach a height of six 
feet under the best of growing conditions, The bottom half 
of the stem has large nodes and body internodes. Branch- 
ing from the lower nodes is common if the main stem is cut 
off, The panicles are terminal on the stems and branches. 
It doesn’t make much growth for the first several months 
during which time it is building a root system. After it 
gets the roots well established it grows amazingly fast 
and is resistant to drought. It prefers heavy loam soils of 
high fertility and needs irrigation if annual rainfall is under 
25 inches. 
Panicum is a sweet grass used for hay and pasture. It 
is rich in protein and food value and yields per acre more 
than double that of Alfalfa. Seed should be planted in 
moist soil and covered lightly using only one pound. per 
acre. % lb. 55c¢; lb. $1.80; 5 lbs. $8.25, Not prepaid:
