I prefer 'Acapulco Gold'. But seriously, most landscaping products are geared towards model RR, but if you lok at http://www.scenicexpress.com/ you can find a range of '0' scale products that are 1/48, but also usable in 1/35.

Noch "Wild Grass" is my favorite..I mix the dark green,light green and beige in equal amounts..I Smear some white glue where the grass will be and then take heaping pinches and gently press them into the glue for thick grass. I let this set up and then use a mini vacuum to remove the excess..Voila! it looks great

You could also check out Hudson and Allen. They have some good grass too. Personally I like to mix my brands of grasses. Just as in nature variety is important. There are many types of grasses, as well as heighths. You can even make your own with fine hemp twine, fake fur from the fabic stores and so on.
