Other dolgiano Lawn Grasses 



Kentucky Blue Grass {Poa pratensis). While it requires 

 about two years to become well established, Kentucky Blue 

 Grass is known for the beautiful lawns it makes. Creeping 

 underground stems produce a tough sod that thrives best 

 in neutral soils and medium moist climates. Extreme hot dry 

 weather retards its growth and mowing under 132 inches is 

 not recommended. May be sown alone or in grass mixture. 

 Lb. 95c.; 10 lbs. $9.00; 25 lbs. $14.75. 



Red Top (Agrostis alba). Red Top belongs to the Bent family 

 and is often used in lawn mixtures as a nurse grass. It will 

 last about three years under close mowing. While it has 

 good value in lawn grass mixtures, it is not recommended to 

 be planted alone for turf unless a quick temporary cover is 

 wanted. Lb. 85c.; 10 lbs. $8.00; 25 lbs. $12.50. 



Bent Grass (Agrostis tenuis). Bent Grasses are fme-bladed sorts 

 that have a tendency to creep and spread. They are used 

 principally on golf greens and in fairway mixtures. The 

 popular varieties are Astoria and Highland. Astoria, lb. 

 $1.15; 10 lbs. $11.25. Highland, lb. 95c.; 10 lbs. $9.00.

 Penn. State University, a truly fine creeping Bent Grass from 

 seed. It surpasses Seaside Bent in density and is more disease 

 resistant. Especially adapted for golf putting greens. Lb. 

 $8.50; 10 lbs. $82.50. 



Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum) . A quick-growing annual also 

 known as Italian and Common Rye Grass. Valuable as a nurse 

 crop in lawn mixtures and thrives well in almost any soil or 

 climate. Lb. 30c.; 10 lbs. $2.75; 25 lbs. $5.50. 



Perennial Rye Grass (Lolium perenne). The most lasting of 

 all Rye Grasses, remaining in a lawn for several growing 

 seasons. Texture is somewhat finer than that of Domestic

 these added advantages: sturdiness, drought and disease 

 resistance, withstands closer mowing. Used in mixtures or 

 may be seeded alone. Lb. $2.25; 10 lbs. $21.50. 



Creeping Red Fescue (Festuca rubra), Pennlawn Strain. A

 25 lbs. 113.75. 



Chewing's Fescue (Festuca rubra fallax). This important com- 

 ponent of all good shady lawn mixtures forms a low, dense, 

 mat-like turf of fine needle-Iike leaves. It is popular for lawns 

 and golf courses because of its drought resistance and ability 

 to thrive on most soils. Lb. 85c.; 10 lbs. $8.25; 25 lbs. $11.50 



Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. A strain of tall Fescue adapted to 

 wet, poorly drained soils, yet it produces well on dry soils of low 

 fertility. The foliage is coarse. Used mostly as a pasture grass.

Poa Trivialis. Known as the Blue Grass of the shade. Thrives 

 best on sweet or alkaline, well-fertilized soils. Its rich green 

 color and fine texture make it very popular as a shade grass 

 particularly in low, moist areas. Lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9.50; 

 25 lbs. $16.25. 



White Dutch Clover {Trijolium reperis). Some White Clover
