Sweet Sudan Grass 
BEST SUMMER PASTURE AND HAY GRASS 
Fast growing annual. Deep roots. Extremely heat and drought resistant. 
Bred by crossing sorghum on sudan. It stools heavier, has broader leaves, 
larger stems, grows faster and taller than common sudan, greater yield and 
food value. Palatability and grazing last longer, until killing frost. Start 
grazing when 18 inches tall and sugar starts forming. Hay is grassy, cures 
quickly; easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. Cut when heads 
first appear. Mature stalks cut and dried still remain palatable. Also good 
for ensilage, cover crop and erosion control. 
CERTIFIED SWEET SUDAN 372, Treated. 
Outstanding uniform, improved strain of sweet sudan, fixing the superior 
qualities of the original cross. More disease resistant. Stays green longer, 
leafier, thinner stems, more and better quality hay and pasture. The most 
dependable quick summer grazing crop for cattle, hogs, or sheep. Slurry 
treated, increases stands and yields 20 to 50%, controls diseases. Arasan 
20 to 50%, control smut, etc. 
SWEET SUDAN, Extra Fancy, Free of Johnson Grass. 
Quick summer pasture or hay crop, ready to cut in 45 days. Has deep 
roots, resists drought and heat. Grows well on any soil, heavy clay to 
light land. Grows vigorously in July, August and September. 
SOW SUDAN GRASS 25 Ibs. per acre with grain drill set for V2 bu. 
wheat, or 7 Ibs. in cultivated rows. 2 to 34 inches deep, on any well 
drained soil, after it gets warm. Can sow up to Aug. 15. Fertilizer pays, 
especially nitrogen. Treat seed with Arasan to increase stands and yields 
20 to 50%, control smut, etc., see below. 
POA TRIVIALIS. For Shady or Wet Lawns and Pastures. 
Fine perennial grass. Kin to Ky. Blue, similar in growth and adaptation, 
thrives better in dense shade and wet soil. Fails on hot dry soil in open 
Southern sunshine. 
TIMOTHY, Most Widely Sown, Inexpensive Hay Crop. 
Easy to establish. Germinates in 5 to 10 days. Grows quickly. Stands up 
well. Easy to cut and cure. Yields 11/2 to 3 tons per acre. Heavy for its 
bulk. Profitable for market. Adapted to Upper South. Prefers clay or loam 
soils. Sow in early spring or fall. For hay on well drained soil 8 Ibs. tim- 
othy and 8 lbs. mammoth clover per acre; on damp land 6 lbs. timothy, 
3 Ibs. red top, 10 Ibs. meadow fescue and 4 lbs. alsike clover. They all 
mature together for hay. Cut when in bloom. On poor or acid soil sow 
7 lbs. timothy, 3 lbs. red top and 15 lbs. lespedeza. Fertilizer pays. 
MEADOW FESCUE, long lived perennial, hardy, deep roots. 
Put in every hay or pasture mixture. More persistent than timothy. Stands 
close grazing. Makes thick foliage. Comes on early in the spring, grow- 
ing till late fall. Does well on wet soil. Sow on any soil in early spring 
or fall, 8 Ibs. with 8 Ibs. orchard grass, 2 lbs. red top, 1 Ib. Ladino, 1 Ib. 
Dixie White, 2 lbs. red clover and 3 lbs. alfalfa. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE. For Shady Lawns and Pastures. 
Similar in growth adaptation and seeding to Chewing’s, but more creeping, 
less bunchy, softer texture, deeper color. Highly nutritious, superior for 
pastures or lawn. Both germinate in 7 to 21 days. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Extra Fancy Onion Free Seed 
Best long-lived, deep-rooted grass for year round pasture or hay mixtures 
or to reseed on old alfalfa sods. In the upper South it does well on prac- 
tically every type of soil, best on loams and heavier soils, thrives in the 
shade, grows vigorously and produces large crops of nutritious hay 
relished by all livestock. It recovers quickly when cut or grazed. It grows 
the year round with maximum growth in the spring and fall. It should be 
used more in Southern pastures, as it furnishes winter grazing when most 
crops are dormant. As it grows in bunches, it should be seeded with 
other grasses and should be included in every hay or pasture mixture. 
Sow 20 lbs. per acre in early spring or fall, or 10 Ibs. in mixtures with 
1 to 2 Ibs. Ladino. 
Wood's Grass Seeds are thoroughly recleaned and tested, have the highest 
purity and germination to produce quick stands and vigorous growth of 
productive, weed-free hay, pastures, beautiful lawns or parks.

Sweet Sudan recovers quickly from grazing. Cows eat it into the ground 
before touching alfalfa, clovers, or other grasses. Milk flow increases 
when cows move from alfalfa to sweet sudan. Plant it for abundant lush 
summer grazing to give a needed rest to permanent pastures. 
KENTUCKY 31, The Most Popular Tall Fescue. 
Forms a thick tough turf that holds up cattle when wet, withstands heavy 
tramping, ideal for golf fairways, athletic fields, parks, airfields, parade 
grounds or lawns where Ky. Blue dies out. Its strong roots open up hard 
subsoil, add—organic matter, prevent erosion on steep banks, roadsides, 
terraces or waterways. 
Good pastures need about 60% grass to prevent bloat and 40% legumes 
for nitrogen and protein. Ky. 31 may be killed by too close grazing the 
first year, in hot summer or cold winter. It doesn’t grow much in summer 
and needs Orchard, Dallis or Bermuda. For year ‘round pasture sow it in 
the fall on established sericea lespedeza, mow or graze lightly the follow- 
ing summer. To keep it from choking out Ladino sow Ky. 31 in 8 to 24 
inch drills, 34 inch deep, then broadcast Ladino on top without cover. 
Wood’s Extra Fancy Orchard Grass and Ky. 31 Fescue, 992% pure are 
onion free and meet ASC requirements. Plant both in separate fields for 
grazing at different seasons or mixed together equally so animals must 
graze both and cannot select orchard and leave fescue to grow tall and 
coarse. Both are leafy, vigorous, persistent, long lived perennials adapted 
to most all soils, poor or acid, but prefer good loams or heavier soils. 
While native grasses are dormant they furnish abundant grazing in early 
spring and late fall, in sun or shade. 
Both are vigorous feeders. To maintain high production of nutritious 
forage, high in protein, they require legumes to furnish nitrogen and 
about 500 Ibs. 0-14-14 top dressed annually. Seed them in early spring or 
fall on a well prepared firm seed bed. Cover lightly, 2 to 34 inches. Sow 
15 lbs. acre alone or 8-10 Ibs. with 1 Ib. Ladino, 1 lb. Dixie White Clover, 
5 Ibs. Red Clover and 8 lbs. Alfalfa on good soils, or with 15 lbs. Lespedeza 
on poorer soils. Clovers require lime. Wood’s Permanent Pasture and Hay 
Mixtures include all of these with other grasses and clovers for greater 
production, but cannot cause bloat. 
CHEWING’S FESCUE. For Shady, Dry Lawns and Pastures. 
Long lived perennial grass. Hardy; persists with little moisture, fertility, or 
sunlight despite heat and cold; on any soil, good or poor, acid, sandy or 
gravelly if not wet. Produces a dense dark green turf of short fine leaves. 
Requires little cutting or attention. Don’t mow too close. Sow 1 lb. to 200 
sq. ft. of lawn or 30 Ibs. per acre in spring or fall. 
TREAT GRASS AND LEGUME SEEDS WITH ARASAN 
Keeps seeds from rotting in cold, damp soils. Allows earlier planting. Pro- 
tects seeds from dampening off, seedling blight and other diseases, birds 
and rodents. Produces healthier, more vigorous plants. Increases stands and 
yields 10 to 50%. Alfalfa stands increased 89%. Seedlings grow off faster, 
get ahead of weeds and establish deep roots before summer droughts. 
Treat anytime, then inoculate legumes just before seeding. For 100 lbs. 
Alfalfa, clover, lespedeza and grass use 8 ozs. Arasan, cost $1.00; 2 lbs. 
$3.20; 10 Ibs. $11.50. Postpaid prices on page 58.
