Nurseries (Horticulture) North Carolina Raleigh Catalogs; Nursery stock North Carolina Raleigh Catalogs; Seeds North Carolina Raleigh Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) North Carolina Raleigh Catalogs; Vegetables North Carolina Raleigh Catalogs; Gardening Nort. Grasses for Pasture and Hay Alta and F53 Kentucky 31 Fescues. Soil Conservation Service Photo. EC~7 Alfo Pocrno A tal1 or §iant Fescue adapted to tJI AMIU rebLUe a wide variety of soils and uses. Like most long lived grasses, growth is slow after germination and should not be grazed until 6 inches high. Once established Alta Fescue promises to be the most versatile and valuable grass in a generation. It is the highest yielding grass in virtually every experiment station where it has been tried; is palatable and grows over a longer period each year than other grasses. Alta has a remarkable resistance to drought and its dense, deep roots make it ideal for erosion control, soil building, weed control, roadside planting, athletic fields, parks, airports, etc. In combi- nation with suitable legumes it produces an excellent almost year 'round pasture. Because it has no underground root stocks it cannot become a pest and is readily killed by plowing. Con- tinued high yields will require feeding, especially nitrogen which may be supplied partly by seeding with clover. Seed in a prepared, firm seed bed fall or early spring 20 to 25 lbs. per acre alone; 10 to 15 lbs. with 3 lbs. Ladino, White or Sub Clover, or 15 lbs. Lespedeza. Prices: lb. $; 5 lbs. $, postpaid. Not prepaid 10 lbs. $; 25 lbs. $; 100 lbs. or more at 90c lb. F53 Kentucky31 Fescue & 1&^Sbv^£b^ developed in Kentucky from whence its fame as a pasture grass has spread over the South. Because of its close kinship to Alta we recommend the same practices listed above for Alta. Prices: lb. $; 5 lbs. $, postpaid. Not prepaid 10 lbs. $; 25 lbs. $; 100 lbs. or more at 90c lb.
