While it requires about two years to become well established, Kentucky Blue Grass is known for the beautiful lawns it makes. Creeping underground stems produce a tough sod that thrives best in neutral soils and medium moist climates. Extreme hot dry weather retards its growth and mowing under 11% inches is not recommended. May be sown alone or in grass mixture. Lb. 90c.; 10 Ibs. $8.50; 25 Ibs. $14.75. Red Top (Agrostis alba). Red Top belongs to the Bent family and is often used in lawn mixtures as a nurse grass. It will last about three years under close mowing. While it has good value in lawn grass mixtures, it is not recommended to be planted alone for turf unless a quick temporary cover is wanted. Lb. $1.00; 10 Ibs. $9.50; 25 Ibs. $19.25. Bemt Grass (Agrostis tenuis). Bent Grasses are fine-bladed sorts that have a tendency to creep and spread. They are used principally on golf greens and in fairway mixtures. The popular varieties are Astoria and Highland. Astoria, Ib. $1.75; 10 Ibs. $17.25. Highland, Ib. 95c.; 10 Ibs. $9.00. Penneress Bent (Agrostis palustris). A recent release from Penn. State University, a truly fine creeping Bent Grass from seed. It surpasses Seaside Bent in density and is more disease resistant. Especially adapted for golf putting greens. Lb. $3.45; 10 Ibs. $31.50. Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum). A quick-growing annual also known as Italian and Common Rye Grass. Valuable as a nurse crop in Jawn mixtures and thrives well in almost any soil or climate. Lb. 33c.; 10 Ibs. $3.00; 25 Ibs. $5.75. Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium perenne). The most lasting of all Rye Grasses, remaining in a lawn for several growing seasons. Texture is somewhat finer than that of Domestic Rye. It is a good nurse grass for all mixtures seeded in the spring. Lb. 40c.; 10 Ibs. $3.75; 25 Ibs. $7.50. Merion Kentucky Blue Grass. Developed by the USGA, Greens Section, Merion is accepted as a superior strain for use on lawns and turf where ordinary Blue Grass is adapted. With all the characteristics of regular Kentucky Blue Grass, it has these added advantages: sturdiness, drought and disease re- sistance, withstands closer mowing. Used in mixtures or may be seeded alone. Lb. $2.10; 10 Ibs. $20.50. Creeping Red Fescue (Festuca rubra), Pennlawn Strain. A perennial, spreading from roots that creep underground, pro- ducing a dense green turf of needle-like leaves. Highly re- sistant to drought and disease and thrives in all types of soil. Sow in combination with other grasses. Lb. $1.10; 10 Ibs. $10.50; 25 Ibs. $19.50. Chewings Fescue (Festuca rubra fallax). This important com- ponent of all good shady Iawn mixtures forms a low, dense, mat-like turf of fine needle-like leaves. It is popular for lawns and golf courses because of its drought resistance and ability to thrive on most soils. Lb. $1.05; 10 Ibs. $10.00; 25 Ibs. $18.75. Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. A strain of tall Fescue adapted to wet, poorly drained soils, yet it produces well on dry soils of low fertility. The foliage is coarse. Used mostly as a pasture grass. Lb. 50c.; 10 Ibs. $4.50; 25 Ibs. $8.75. Poa Trivialis. Known as the Blue Grass of the shade. Thrives best on sweet or alkaline, well-fertilized soils. Its rich green color and fine texture make it very popular as a shade grass particularly in low, moist areas. Lb. 95c.; 10 Ibs. $9.00; 25 Ibs. $16.75. White Clover (Trifolium repens). Some White Clover is usually included in Jawn grass mixtures, for it makes an excellent turf that stands constant trampling. It is dwarf in habit, spreads rapidly and is very hardy. Lb. $1.25; 10 Ibs. $11.50; 25 Ibs. $18.00. Prices quoted on grass seed do not include postage. See page 14a for Parcel Post rates. If postage is in- cluded with order, seed will be sent by Parcel Post, otherwise shipment will be made by Express Collect.
