burned up during the hot season, Ber- 

 muda grass will remain green, and, if 

 regularly mown, it will make quite a 

 velvety carpet. The only drawback is 

 that in winter it looks a little brown, 

 but in the southern states an all-the- 

 year-round green lawn can be main- 

 tained by sowing English rye grass 

 every fall at the rate of fifty pounds per 

 acre and harrowing or raking it into the 

 Bermuda grass sod. Bermuda grass seed 

 should be sown in the spring, as it will 

 not germinate until warm weather 

 comes. Sow at the rate of six pounds 

 per acre." Further particulars may be 

 obtained from other leading seedsmen.
