STECKLER LAWN GRASS SEED

 able summer Icrwn grass for Southern Gar- 

 dens. Makes a tough, even, clumpless turf 

 that recovers quickly after cutting. Lasts for 

 years and stands long, hot, dry summer with- 

 out injury. Succeeds on nearly all types of 

 soil. Germinates in 20 to 30 days with proper 

 soil moisture. For good, heavy stand, sow at 

 the rate of 5 pounds to 1000 square feet, from 

 March to September. The Bermuda Grass seed 

 we offer is the finest, leaf cultivated turf pro- 

 ducing strain. Postpaid, lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.90. 



Not prepaid, 10 lbs., S3.00; 100 lbs., $28.00. 



CARPET GRASS — Splendid lawn grass for the 

 South. Better than Bermuda for poor, sandy 

 soil and semi-shady lawns. It is a perennial, 

 spreading by creeping stems which root at 

 every joint, thus forming a close, compact turf. 

 Germinates in 20 to 30 days if soil is kept 

 properly moist. For a closely matted lawn 

 sow at the rate of 5 pounds per 1000 square 

 feet from March until July. We offer only stock 

 that has been carefully analyzed for purity 

 and germination. Postpaid, lb., 40c; 5 lbs., 

 $1.75.
