How to Cultivate Chrysanthemums From Seed

If you have a hothouse or frame you may sow the seed anytime, excepting hot summer months. The seeds can be sown as soon as frost is over, but not much later if you wish to see good flowers the same year. Sow the seed in pots or flats or in protected frame. Since the seeds are small care must be exercised nct to wash them away. In abcut two or three weeks the seeds will germinate. When they are large enough to be transplanted, the seedlings should be planted in trays or outdoor and they will come to bloom the same year

JAPONICA

ZOYSIA

(Japanese Lawn Grass) CROWDS OUT CRABGRASS

Zoysia japonica, commonly known as Japanese Lawn Grass, was first introduced into the United States about 35 years ago from Korea where the climate approximates that of New York State.

Zoysia japonica is a low growing, sod forming perennial which if not mowed, will grow to a height of about 9 inches. It has a broad, some- what course leaf similar to Red Top, but does not grow as tall.

Zoysia japonica is the only variety of Zoysia which is hardy and will grow in the South as well as in the North. It should never be confused with Zoysia matrella which is of value only to the southern end of Florida where it is sold as sod under the name of Flawn.

It is generally believed that Zoysia japonica will be of great value for the following reasons:

(1) Its ability to withstand heat, long periods of drought and extremely cold climates.

(2) Its ability to crowd out Crabgrass as it is most dominant during the Crabgrass season.

(3) Its ability to provide a green cover during the summer months when other grasses, such as Kentucky Blue, turn brown and ragged. It will also hold its color into the late fall longer than others.

(4) Its ability to withstand heavy traffic and its extraordinary healing qualities.

(5) The fact that it is disease free and weed free. So far none of the known pests have attacked it. It is immune to Chinch Bugs.

A client in Ft. Morgan, Colorado writes: "I ordered 1 1b. Zoysia Japonica last Spring and sowed it. Because apparent growth was so slow in developing the gardener reseeded with common lawn mixture

which soon covered the barren patches. Despite this, however, those areas which had the Japonica are today a good healthy sort of sod easily discernible in the overall lawn. I will need 25 lbs. more of Japonica seed for reseeding."

~ct-Seedsmen, Inc., Yarren Ste, ODI 17/9) Nes:

Gentlemen,

You asked to let you know when our Zoysia lawn would to turn brown

Now, the end of November, it is still a perfect green. Our Zoysia lawns are the admiration of everyone - they coud not be more perfect, and the $500 I invested in zoysia seed last Spring is

far cheaper than spending $500 for the usual hundred pounds of ordinary lawn seed and several hundred bags of fertilizer, and the labor of app’ying it all, every Fall, not to mention the daily Sur~er sprinkling of the lawns- something not needed for the Zoysia.

This much I will say-- it just is not practical to sow Zoysia seed alone to start a lawn. I would say the best plan for a new lawn

is to sow it in the Fell, rather thinly, using mediocre grade of ordinary seed; let that come up-- you will have a fair quality lawn next Spring. Then that Vay, as soon as the ground is getting warm, go in and sow the Zoysia at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre, and rake it in, to get it down to the ground, and by August you will see it take a good hold- and by the Fall it will have driven out all the ordinary grass seed, and you will have a perfect Zoysia lawn.

Very truly yours

BUILD LAWNS IN POOR SOILS WITH BURNETT-SEEDSMEN’S “POORSOIL LAWNMIX”

Drouth Resistant grasses is the answer to establishing a lawn in poor, sandy soils, for the same reason that camels, not horses, are used in the desert. - - So, Burnett-Seedsmen have selected the best drouth grass, namely, Creeping Red Fescue (Illahee strain). Because of it’s tolerance of drouth, Tllahee is especially adapted to dry, sandy or gravelly soils— poor or rich. Jllahee Creeping Red Fescue produces a deep rooted sod that withstands tramping and abuse. It spreads out, carpet-like, by means of underground rootstocks and overground stems. The grass blades are rich green, fine, smooth and soft; they stay green when other grasses brown and sear in Summer. fllahee is disease resistant; stands close cutting; grows in sun or shade and reaches full maturity in two years. It grows well with Highland Bent, also included in Burnett-Seedsmen’s Poorsoil Lawnmiz. Highland Bent’s growth habit somewhat parallels Illahee Fescue, especially being able to withstand adverse conditions of climate and low soil fertility. To these two permanent grasses is added a small percentage of domestic Rye Grass which acts as a nurse crop. Burnett-Seedsmen’s “Poorsoil Lawnmix” contains 75% Illahee Fescue, 10% Highland Bent and 15% domestic Rye grass, by weight.

Remember, in shaded situation where the sun’s rays do not permeate sufficiently to dry the ground, a damp and acid condition exists It is well to add lime before sowing.

Asters. . (Wilt Resststant )

Need no introduction, but what is Wilt Resistant Aster Seed? It’s a strain of seed produced from plants that were grown in heavily wilt-infested soil; It is reasonable to infer that if a strain was able to grow to full maturity and bear seed, it’s genera or offspring must likewise be immune to wilt. Don't take chances, sow Wilt Resistant Strain Asters wherever possible.

No fuss in tying up, like in cauliflower.
