English Rye : Grass. 
ENGLISH, OR PERENNIAL RYE 
GRASS.—Is largely sown by our landscape 
gardeners for winter lawns on Bermuda 
sod. The Bermuda blades being easily af- 
fected by frost, become red and rusty look- 
ing, while English Rye, during Winter 
presents a most beautiful appearance, be- 
ing of a vivid green, and as the Bermuda 
during April and May makes its appearance 
it overgrows the English Rye, causing the 
latter to decay and act as a fertilizer to 
the existing grass. It’s also valuable for 
permanent pasture as it makes a heavy 
growth. The Bermuda sod should be 
mowed as closely as possible, scarify the 
surface thoroughly, broadcast the English 
Rye on top, rake in and cover with a light 
soil. Similar to Italian Rye, but a little 
slower in offgrowth. It should be sown 
from September to March, at the rate of 
60 lbs. per acre. 1 Ib., 40c., postpaid; 10 
Ibs., $2.50; 20-lb. bu., $4.50; 100 1bs., $18.00, 
not prepaid. 
IFALIAN RYE GRASS.—Sown in the 
Fall, but can also be planted in early 
Spring. It is one of the quickest growing 
grasses, has very tender stalks and leaves, 
and makes an abundant growth. Can be 
planted alone, but is also-.very valuable 
when planted in combination with other 
grasses. In Bermuda lawns it is valuable 
during the winter and until hot weather. 
When the other grasses are dead or 
dormant the Italian comes up and keeps 
your lawn green. For lawns it makes the 
quickest show of any: grass and is the 
best grass for beautiful velvety green 
lawns throughout the Fall, Winter and 
until the hot dry Summer weather appears.

ful lawn the year around. Sow about 60 
pounds per acre. 1 Ihb., 40c., postpaid; 10
