STECKLER LAWN GRASS SEED 



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., 

 SI. 75. 



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 SI. SO; 10 

 bushels, S14.00. 



FANCY BERMUDA GRASS— The most depend- 

 able summer lawn 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. 40c; 5 lbs., S1.75. 

 Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $23.00. 



HULLED BERMUDA— We offer this extra fancy 

 Bermuda Grass with the hulls removed, a 

 new process which gives much quicker germi- 

 nation. Under favorable moisture and soil 

 conditions, Hulled Bermuda Grass will germi- 

 nate 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., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25. 

 Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $3.70; 100 lbs., S35.00.
