Lawn, Pasture and Hay 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan is strictly an annual and must be 
planted over each spring. It is the quickest 
growing and best summer pasture yet de- 
veloped — good right up until frost. Su- 
dan 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 
amazing growth results, of very fine stemmed 
Sapa plants, much more palatable to the 
stock.

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 
anwhere Common Sudan grows. Plant just 
as you would Common Sudan.

TIFT SUDAN 
Developed at Georgia Coastal Plains Ex- 
periment Station in cooperation with U. S&. 
D. A. to meet the need for a disease-resistant 
Sudan for the humid regions of Southeastern 
States. More resistant to the foliage diseases 
than any other Sudan (February 1952)— 
Therefore produces more grazing of better 
quality over a longer period. During heavy 
leaf disease epidemics Tift Sudan produced 
grazing for a month or more after other Su- 
dans had died.

SUDAN GRASS 
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.

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 ernormous 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. $1.20; 5 Ibs. $4.75. 
BERMUDA GRASS 
FOR PASTURE. Grows on most all types 
of soil but will not grow in dense shade. 
Bermuda and Lespedeza grow fine togeth- 
er, and if White Clover or Crimson Clover 
is added, an excellent pasture is possible 
from early spring to midfall. Because of 
growth, Bermuda is decidedly 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. MHulled 
Bermuda 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 hulled 
seed to 25 x 40, or 1,000 square feet. 
Prices (Unhulled Seed), postpaid, 1 Ib. 
80c; 5 lbs. $3.00. 
Prices (Hulled Seed) postpaid, 1 lb. $1.00;

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 beauti- 
ful green growth. One pound will sow 20 
x 20 or 400 square feet. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. $1.30; 5 Ibs. $5.50. 
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 lb. $1.30; 5 Ibs. $5.50. 
SUNNY SOUTH. A mixture of Evergreen 
Lawn grass and Bermuda grass, especially 
adapted for open and sunny situations. It 
will stand hot weather and with frequent 
watering will make a beautful green sum- 
mer 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 
germination. One pound will sow 20 x 20 
or 400 square feet.
