STECKLER LAWN GRASS SEED 



FANCY BERMUDA GRASS— The most de- 

 pendable summer lawn grass for South- 

 ern Gardens. Makes a tough, even, 

 clumpless turf that recovers quickly after 

 cutting. Lasts for years and stands long, 

 hot, dry summer without injury. Succeeds 

 on nearly all types of soil. Germinates 

 in 20 to 30 days with proper soil mois- 

 ture. 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 producing strain. 

 Postpaid, lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 

 Write for prices on larger quantity. 



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., 50c; 5 lbs. $2.10. 



ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS— In Florida and to 

 an ever increasing extent in New 

 Orleans, the shady lawn problem has 

 been solved by the use of this perennial 

 creeping grass. It is a deep green, 

 broad-bladed grass, creeping by means 

 of surface runner. It is somewhat simi- 

 lar to Carpet Grass, except it has a better 

 color and stays green during ordinary 

 winters. Seed is not available, but lawns 

 are established with rooted runners. A 

 bushel will plant from 150 to 200 square 

 feet, depending on how close it is set. 

 Not prepaid, bushel. $2.25; 10 bushels, 

 $21.00. 



HULLED BERMUDA— We offer this extra 

 fancy Bermuda Grass with the hulls re- 

 moved, a new process which gives much 

 quicker germination. Under favorable 

 moisture and soil conditions. Hulled Ber- 

 muda Grass will germinate in 8 to 10 

 days, almost as quick as Rye Grass. It 

 is more economical because half the 

 quantity is necessary to sow 100 square 

 feet of lawn. Be sure to specify hulled 

 seed when ordering, as otherwise the 

 unhulled seed will be shipped. 

 Postpaid, lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.25.

THE MODERN 



LAWN SOD 



The best known lawn for the South, does 

 ■well in sun and shade. Flawn produces a 

 sod that feels like a Persian rug. The turf 

 is so compact that weeds including crab- 

 grass do not have a chance. Altho Flawn 

 may be planted at almost anytime of the 

 year, the best results to be had is putting 

 same down at the beginning of the rainy 

 season. Late February or early March is 

 ideal for the South. Cut in small pieces 

 1 V2 inch square gets best results. Planting 

 these small pieces 12 inches apart, a square 

 yard will cover 48 square yards of lawn. 



Price — $9.00 per square yard.
