POA TRIVIALIS 
(For dense shade) 
Did you ever get grass to grow under trees? 
Bermuda just won't do it at all. Poa Trivialis 
is the best answer to the problem of shade we 
have found. It is a perennial—comes back 
year after year. It does best in rich fertile 
soils where moisture is abundant. In cool 
moist climates it stays green all summer, but 
farther south it becomes dormant in summer 
comes out early in spring and in mild winters 
gives pretty good returns. 
Poa Trivialis produces a sod quicker than 
Kentucky Blue Grass, makes a dark green 
turf. Keep well watered in dry weather, for 
trees absorb a lot of surface moisture. Be sure 
to use fertilizer such as sheep manure, bone 
meal and basic slag. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. $1.00; 5 lbs. $4.50. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE 
Another of the grasses known among seeds- 
men and lawn experts for its value under 
shade. It is a fine leaved grass with decided 
creeping habit, makes a splendid sod under 
shade—deep green color. 
Trees consume an enormous amount of min- 
erals and water. Tree roots, especially in the 
dry summer months, reach up to the sub- 
surface soil and take from the grass essential 
plant food and moisture. To overcome this 
condition water the grass more generously 
under trees, and fertilize occasionally. Bore 
(with soil auger or crowbar) 12 to 16 holes 
about two inches in diameter, and two or three 
feet deep around the tree, at a distance from 
trunk about equal to end of branches. Fill 
these holes with fertilizer. Allow water to 
seep into these openings for a long period. 
Fertilizer spread on surface is then available 
to the grass and is not subject to competition 
of tree roots. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. $1.15; 5 Ibs. $5.25. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
A deep-rooted perennial legume somewhat 
similar to fine stemmed alfalfa. Best sown in 
early spring with a grass crop, Blue, Orchard, 
Kentucky Fescue or Red Top, in order named, 
for permanent pasture. Drouth and heat re- 
sistant and winter hardy; palatable and with 
high feed value, increases amount produced 
per acre by 30 to 75. pounds per season. No 
bloat, no prussic acid poisoning, green right 
up to frost. Grows without lime, but lime and 
phosphate increase results. Requires two years 
to be well established. Sow 4 to 6 pounds 
per acre with other grasses. Shallow seeding 
necessary, 1/4 inch deep on well prepared seed 
bed, roll in.. Caution: Must be inoculated with 
special Trefoil inoculant. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. $1.40; 5 Ibs. $6.50.

SUDAN GRASS 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan is strictly an annual and must be 
planted over each spring. It is the quickest 
growing and best summer pasture yet deyel- 
oped—good right up until frost. Sudan is a 
warm weather crop—wait until April 15 in 
latitude of central Mississippi and get first 
cutting of hay in 60 to 70 days. It does not 
require lime. It grows best on a rich loam 
but has been grown successfully on almost 
every class of soil from a heavy clay to a 
light sand. . You can sow 25 pounds per acre 
broadcast with good results, but on rich land 
planters tell us it is foolish to sow less than 
40 pounds, even 50 per acre, when an amaz- 
ing growth results, of very fine stemmed suc- 
cule plants, much more palatable to the 
stock. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 40c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS 
Developed through several years coopera- 
tive breeding by Texas Experiment Station 
and U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry. In all 
their tests, planted side by side, Sweet Sudan 
was eaten first by cattle, grazed to the 
ground, while Common Sudan was second 
always, and grazed only to about a foot high. 
Grows anywhere Common Sudan _ grows. 
Plant just as you would Common Sudan. 
For more information and price see page 12. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
BERMUDA GRASS 
FOR PASTURE. Grows on most all types of 
soil but will not grow in dense shade. Ber- 
muda and Lespedeza grow fine together, and 
if White Clover or Crimson Clover is added, 
an excellent pasture is possible from early 
spring to midfall. Because of its dense sod 
and creeping habit of growth, Bermuda is de- 
cidedly the best grass to prevent soil erosion. 
Do not plant until the cold is definitely past, 
and the ground is thoroughly warm; roughly, 
from April 15th to August 15th. Hulled Ber- 
muda germinates in 10 days with ample 
moisture. Unhulled seed requires 21] to 30 
days. For grazing, sow 10-15 pounds unhulled 
seed per acre alone, less in a pasture mixture. 
Hulled seed sows 50 per cent more space. 
FOR LAWNS. The dependable hot weather 
grass for southern lawns. Sow April 15th to 
August 15th; have ground well prepared and 
cover seed lightly as seeds germinate slowly. 
Keep soil well watered until up. If weather 
is dry, soak ground well three times a week. 
Sow one pound of unhulled seed to 20 x 30, or 
600 square feet. Sow one pound of hullled 
seed to 25 x 40, or 1,000 square feet.. 
Prices (Unhulled Seed), postpaid, 1 lb. $1.10; 
5 Ibs. $5.00. 
Prices (Hulled Seed), postpaid, 1 lb. $1.30; 
5 lbs. $6.00.

MIXED LAWN GRASSES 
EVERGREEN. Our Evergreen Lawn Grass is 
a mixture of grasses that are adapted to 
lawn making, and contains none of the 
coarse grasses nor those that grow in tufts 
or clumps. No one grass makes an ideal 
lawn grass, so we have put into our Ever- 
green a well-balanced mixture of grasses# 
that are at their best during different months 
of the year and will give a beautiful green 
growth. One pound will sow 20 x 20 or 400 
square feet. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25. 
SHADY SPOT. A mixture of grasses that are 
especially adapted to the shade. We have 
used great care in the selection of the 
grasses that go into this mixture and feel 
certain that with proper planting and atten- 
tion, good results will be obtained. An alka- 
line soil rich in humus and plenty of mois- 
ture is required to successfully grow grass 
in the shade. One pound will sow 20 x 20 
or 400 square feet. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. $1.00; 5 Ibs. $4.50. 
SUNNY SOUTH. A mixture of Evergreen Lawn 
grass and Bermuda grass, especially adapt- 
ed for open and sunny situations. It will 
stand hot weather and with frequent water- 
ing will make a beautiful green summer 
lawn. Cut the grass weekly, which will 
cause it to stool and grow off to a solid turf. 
If weather is dry, water well for good ger- 
mination. One pound will sow 20 x 20 or 
400 square feet. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25.
