bunches increase in size and eventually make a close tight 
‘sod. It is best suited for use as ‘a permanent pasture grass

weather, and produces large amounts of succulent pasture 
the year around. 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

sandy soils; 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 stands close grazing and heavy trampling. Can be sown 
over your present pasture, creek bottom, or cut-over wood- 
land without plowing or discing. Easily eradicated by plow- 
ing. It does splendidly sown with Lespedeza, Dallis Grass, 
Black. Medic and White Clover. Carpet Grass can be grown
