Improves soils and produces greater yields of hay, pasture and silage. 
Higher in protein, minerals, and feed value, relished by all livestock. Lasts 
for years. Pasture yields increase up to 3 times by adding alfalfa. Plant on 
deep, well-drained soil. Use 1,000 Ibs. of borated 2-12-12 at seeding and 
800 Ibs. borated 0-14-14 each spring. Sow in April, Aug. or Sept. on firm 
seedbed; cover 14 inch, cultipack or drag; 25 lbs. per acre or 20 Ibs. with 
5 Ibs. orchard grass. Add 5 lbs. Alfalfa seed to every pasture mixture. Use 
Wood's Inoculation 1; each September spray 11/2 Ibs. D.D.T. per acre to 
kill spittle bugs before they lay; if grazing use Methoxychlor. 
Williamsburg Alfalfa, in center plot, has recovered from cutting much 
quicker than other alfalfa varieties, shown by H. M. Camper, Jr., Superin- 
tendent of the Eastern Virginia Experiment Station at Warsaw where the 
foundation field of Williamsburg is maintained, and for 3 years it has 
outyielded 11 alfalfa varieties, averaging 41/2 tons of hay per acre, over 
a ton more than Atlantic, Kansas and Buffalo. 
WILLIAMSBURG, Certified, Best Alfalfa for the South. 
New Long Lived, Disease Resistant Variety. Far Outyields Other Varieties. 
Selected from a field of Kansas Alfalfa that had persisted for years under 
humid diseased conditions in Eastern Va. Similar in growth and winter 
hardiness to Kansas. Lush vigorous growth. Crowds out summer weeds. 
ATLANTIC ALFALFA, Certified, 992% pure. 
Vigorous. High Yielding. Resists leaf spot and other foliage diseases. Win- 
ter hardy, fairly resistant to bacterial wilt. A stand lasts years, producing 
hay, high in protein and feed value, even on poorer soils. Its fast growth 
and rapid recovery produces maximum hay and pasture yields. 
KANSAS ALFALFA, Premium Quality, U. S. Verified Origin. 
991/2% Pure. 90% Germination. Recommended for years by the U.S.D.A. 
and Southeastern Experiment Stations where it has made top yields, more 
resistant to diseases; stands have persisted longer than seed from other 
sections and been winter hardy as Kansas has a climate like the Southeast. 
HIGHLAND BENT. For Lawns & Greens. 
For fine textured lawns like golf putting greens. Stands close mowing and 
moist soils. Does not like shade. Withstands drought. Strong creeper, hardy, 
aggressive, drought and disease resistant. We also have Cert. Astoria Col- 
onial Bent. Sow 1 Ib. to 400 sq. ft. in spring or fall. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL, Italian Broadleaf. Resembles Alfalfa 
A deep rooted perennial legume for pasture, hay or silage. Good for sup- 
plementary grazing in summer and fall, or for renovating run down blue- 
grass or natural pastures. Sow 10 lbs, per acre in early spring or fall or 
5 lbs. with 10 Ibs. bluegrass, 2 Ibs. White Dutch Clover and 3 Ibs. Timothy. 
DOMESTIC and PERENNIAL RYEGRASS. Quick Growing. 
Winter resistant, cool season lawn, pasture, hay or cover crop; little sum- 
mer growth. Fine nurse crop. Keeps soil from washing. Sow 35 Ibs. acre. 
Add 20 Ibs. Crimson or Reseeding Crimson for winter grazing. 
DALLIS GRASS, Paspalum, Australian Grown. Extra Fancy.

MERION BLUEGRASS—The “Wonder Lawn Grass” 
Selected from Kentucky Blue. Produces a fine, lovely, lasting turf. Resists 
leafspot, withstands continued close mowing, and tolerates long hot, dry 
seasons. Grows more vigorously in late spring, tending to crowd out 
crabgrass. Needs fertilizer and care, is slow to come up and establish a 
sod, suffers from neglect and competition of quick growing grasses until 
established. Best seeded alone, 1 lb. to 500 sq. ft. in early spring or fall. 
KENTUCKY BLUE, Good Permanent Lawn or Pasture Grass 
For good well drained heavier soils in the Piedmont and Mountains. Makes 
rich, nutritious pasture, Can be grazed close. Germinates in 10 to 28 days. 
Don‘t sow with Ladino which will smother it. Sow in early spring or fall. 
1 lb. sows 200 sq. ft. (10 x 20) of lawn. For pasture sow 8 Ibs. Ky. Blue, 
8 Ibs. orchard grass, 3 lbs. red top, 1 lb. White Dutch Clover, 1 Ib. Dixie 
White clover, and 2 Ibs. Trefoil per acre. Apply Lime and 2-12-12. 
RED TOP OR HERDS GRASS. Put in All Permanent Mixtures. 
3 Ibs. acre for pasture, hay or lawn. Grows well with other grasses, 
thrives on all soils. Grows vigorously till late fall. Perennial. Creeping 
habit. Stools well. Stands close grazing or trampling. Germinates quickly 
5 to 10 days, easy to get a stand and keeps down weeds. 
BERMUDA GRASS, Hulled or Unhulled, Extra Fancy. 
Best upland pasture for the Southeast. Vigorous, persistent growth. With- 
stands drought. Grows well on any soil if not too wet; bears heavy graz- 
ing and trampling. Unsurpassed for soil erosion control, highways, air- 
fields and parade grounds. For lawns, golf courses, and athletic fields 
makes a tough, even turf without clumps, recovers quickly after cutting. 
Sow April 15 to Oct. 1. After Aug. 1 sow only hulled seed which germi- 
nates in 7 to 12 days. Lawns, 1 Ib. hulled sows 400 sq. ft.; unhulled 300 
sq. ft. Pasture 6 lbs. per acre hulled or 8 Ibs. unhulled; add 1 Ib. Ladino, 
1 Ib. Dixie White Clover, 15 Ibs. lespedeza. 
CARPET GRASS, Ideal for Lawns in Southern Coastal Area. 
Thrives in hottest summers. Forms soft thick, luxuriant carpet, dark green 
most of the year. Thrives on wet or poor sandy soils, in shade or sun. 
Winterkills at high elevations. Low creeping growth. Crowds out weeds. 
Improves with close continuous mowing or grazing. Sow 1 |b. to 250 sq. 
ft., 12 lbs. acre, early spring to midsummer. Germinates in 10 to 12 days. 
MEYER (Z 52) ZOYSIA GRASS—For a Beautiful Weed Free 
Lawn. Our strain produced from Foundation Seed. 
Meyer (Z 52) Zoysia provides a beautiful green lawn in hot dry summer 
when other grasses wilt and crabgrass and other summer weeds take over. 
Will withstand considerable wear; resistant to disease and insects; slow 
growing and can be cut close. Similar in appearance to Ky. Blue. A warm 
season grass, it turns brown as soon as freezing weather occurs. Com- 
bined with Merion Bluegrass it will provide a green lawn the year ‘round. 
Will grow under light shade but not dense shade. Best adapted in areas 
where ordinary cool-season grasses do poorly in summer. 
Establishing a Lawn. Meyer Zoysia seed is not available commercially and 
must be propagated vegetatively to maintain its desirable characteristics. 
This is done by planting plugs from Foundation Turf. Two inch plugs 
planted on one foot centers on a well prepared, weed free seed bed be- 
tween April and October will produce a solid turf in approximately two 
years. On an existing lawn, plant plugs on one foot centers, and it is de- 
sirable to clear a large spot in which to set each plug so it can get sun- 
light. Should normally be clipped at 34 to 1 inch for lawn use. 
Fertilization and Liming. At time of establishment apply 30 Ibs. 1,000 
square feet of 5-10-10 or a similar fertilizer. During first year a light ap- 
plication of nitrogen should be added every 2 to 4 weeks during grow- 
ing season. After established should be fertilized spring and fall with 20 
Ibs. of 10-6-4 or similar fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft. Also desirable to apply 
25 Ibs. of an organic nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft. during the sum- 
mer. Unless soil is extremely acid, 75 lbs. of ground limestone per 1,000 
square feet applied every 4 to 6 years will be sufficient. Packed in cartons 
of 50 and 100 plugs only. 
Price—50 plugs $6.00 f. 0. b. Richmond; $6.80 postpaid. 100 plugs, $10.00 
f. o. b. Richmond; $11.40 postpaid. Orders booked now for shipment from 
April through October.
