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 not ex- acting 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-planting time. Use 20-25 pounds of seed per acre. 1 lb., 25c, postpaid. CARPET GRASS (Paspalum Platycaule) Carpet Grass grows tenaciously in any soil; is excellent for lawns or pasture purposes on the Gulf Coast and all sandy lands, and even clay uplands. Stools heavily and is green all year in lower Gulf States. Planted from November to March, 10 pounds per acre. Because it withstands punishment it is also used in all parks and golf courses in the Gulf region. 1 lb., 40c, postpaid. KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS This famous grass grows well on any stiff or loamy soils in central and northern states if rich, moist and moderately well drained, and succeeds fairly well in some sections of the South, where lime is present in the soil, being largely used with Bermuda grass. Kentucky Blue Grass is at its best in the spring and fall months, but being rather sensitive to heat, does not grow luxuri
