Io6 LAWNS 



Usually there is considerable difficulty in 

 establishing Kentucky blue grass in maritime 

 regions. There is a good field for pro- 

 gressive work in introducing suitable grasses 

 for lawns on the sea coast. At the present 

 time the chief reliance is on some of the 

 species of Agrostis or bent grasses. This 

 mixture should result in a substantial lawn 

 on any sort of soil. The beach grass will 

 take a hold where the blue grass fails, but 

 it is, generally, not a desirable lawn grass.

Generally with very little preparation, so 

 as to improve the physical condition and 

 drainage, these soils will maintain excellent 

 blue grass lawns. The rye grass recom- 

 mended gives the early quick result, the red 

 top makes a bottom grass, and the blue grass 

 is the permanent feature.
