Other Bo/giano 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 IJ9 inches is 

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

 Lb. $1.35; 10 lbs. $12.75; 25 lbs. $23.50. 



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. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9,75; 25 lbs. $19.50. 



Bents (Agrostis). Bent Grasses are fine-bladed sorts that have 

 a tendency to creep and spread. They are very desirable in 

 lawn mixtures and are used principally on golf greens and in 

 fairway mixtures. The popular varieties are Astoria, Highland 

 and Seaside. Lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14.50. 



Domestic Rye Grass (Lolium multiflorum). A quick-growing 

 annual also known as Italian and Common Rye Grass. Valu- 

 able as a nurse crop in lawn mixtures and thrives well in al- 

 most any soil or climate. Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50; 25 lbs. $5.25. 



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 

 Rye. It is a good nurse grass for all mixtures seeded in the 

 spring. Lb. 40c.; 10 lbs. $3.50; 25 lbs. $7.50. 



Merion Kentucky Blue Grass. The latest development of the 

 U.S.G.A. Green Section of a sturdy, drought and disease- 

 resistant Blue Grass. It has all the characteristics of regular 

 Kentucky Blue Grass with these advantages added. It can 

 be used in mixtures with unusual success or can be seeded 

 alone; will stand close mowing. Lb. $3.75. 



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



perennial, spreading from roots that creep underground, pro- 

 ducing a dense green turf of needle-like leaves. Highly re- 

 sistant to drought and disease and thrives in all types of soil. 

 Sow in combination with other grasses. Lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. 

 $12.00; 25 lbs. $21.00. 



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

 component of all good shady lawn mixtures forms a low, 

 dense, mat-like turf of fine needle-like leaves. It is popular for 

 lawns and golf courses because of its drought resistance and 

 ability to thrive on most soils. Lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $9.75; 25 lbs. 

 $17.00. 



Kentucky 31 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. 

 Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. $4.50; 25 lbs. $8.25. 



Penn State Chewing's Fescue. This improved strain is a 

 blend of selections of superior types of Chewing's Fescue. 

 Lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $11.00; 25 lbs. $18.25. 



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. $9.75; 

 25 lbs. $17.50. 



White Dutch Clover (Tr folium repens). Some White Clover 

 is usually included in lawn grass mixtures, for it makes an 

 excellent turf that stands constant trampling. It is dwarf in 

 habit, spreads rapidly and is very I ardy. Lb. $1 50; 10 lbs. 

 $14.50; 25 lbs. $24.50.
