Nurseries (Horticulture) Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Nursery stock Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Flowers Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Vegetables Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Fruit Tennessee Memphis Catalogs; Gardening Tennessee Memphis Equipment and supp. Field of Sudan Grass Sudan Grass—The South's Greatest Emergency Hay Crop Sudan Grass is grown for hay and summer pasture. It is so named because it was obtained from the Sudan government in Khartum, when a systematic search was made for a form of Johnson grass without root-stalks. It will produce more hay per acre than any other grass grown in the South and it will do it quicker. It may be sown any time from April to late August and will make heavy yields of hay, seed or pasture. On ordinary land it will yield two to six tons of hay in one season, from two to three cuttings. Sudan Grass is strictly an annual, growing to a height of 3 to 5 feet in drilled seedings and 5 to 8 feet in cultivated rows. Drilled seedings are preferred for hay. It requires a warm climate and is of most value as an emergency hay crop. The best time to cut it for hay is when the heads are in full bloom. This hay is equal in value to timothy, millet or Johnson Grass. Experiments have shown Sudan Grass to be an excellent roughage for work animals and stock cattle and only slightly less valuable than alfalfa hay for milk cows. (Farmers' Bulletin 1126). Sudan Grass is not exacting as to soil. It does best in rich loam, but has been successful on every class of land, from a heavy clay to a light sand. Sow in a firm seed bed, after the soil has become warm, usually two weeks after corn-plant- ing time. Use 20-25 pounds of seed per acre. 1 lb. 25c, post paid. Carpet Grass (Paspalum Platycaule) Our Carpet Grass, as usual, was grown in Louisiana and we are fortunate in getting a delivery of well cleaned, tested seed. Carpet Grass grows tenaciously in any soil; is excellent for lawns or pasture purposes on the Gulf Coast and all sandy land
