Bent. Colonial (Agrostis Tenuis). This grass imported from New 

 Zealand, is identical with Rhode Island Bent. Leaf-blades very nar-

 for Putting Greens. It succeeds on all well drained soils and unlike 

 some other grasses it thrives on acid soils. Price, $1.75 per lb. ; $28.00 

 per bushel of 20 lbs. : $125.00 per 100 lbs. 



Bent, Creeping (Agrostis Species or South German Mixed Bent) . This 

 is undoubtedly one of the finest grasses for Putting Greens. The dis- 

 tinctive feature of this species is its compact, creeping rooting stems.

 a strong enduring turf which withstands hard usage. Does well on all 

 soils, particularly on light, moist land. Price, $1.75 per lb. : $28.00 per 

 bushel of 20 lbs.; $110.00 per 100 lbs.

 short stolons or runners; makes a very fine dark green turf. An excellent 

 grass for Putting Greens. Price. 81.75 per lb. : $28.00 per bushel of 

 20 lbs.; $125.00 per 100 lbs. 



Bent. Seaside (Agrostis Maritima). This is the Variety which was

 trade name. It is a hardy creeping variety forming a close mat-like 

 sward and is very desirable for Putting Greens. Does well in moist 

 situations, making a rapid growth of fine texture; blades are almost as 

 narrow as true creeping bent. In habit this variety is a vigorous stoloni- 

 ferous creeper and is the only other bent that can compare favorably 

 with Creeping or Velvet Bents. Price, $2.50 per lb. ; $42.00 per bushel 

 of 20 lbs.; $200.00 per 100 lbs. 



Bermuda Grass (Cynotion Dadylon). A most valuable grass for the

 and particularly land that is well limed. Price, 70c. per lb. ; $55.00 per 

 100 lbs. 



Blue Grass, Canada (Poa Compressa). A very hardy perennial

 sandy soils. It resists extreme drought and thrives on inferior soils, 

 gravelly banks and exposed hillsides, also in the shade. It is preferred

 Greens. Lime need not be used where this grass is desired. Price, 65c. 

 per lb.; $8.00 per bushel of 14 lbs.; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 



Fescue. Sheep's (Festuca Otina). It is a bunch grass, forming dense 

 tufts 3 to 6 inches in diameter with wire-like leaves 2 to 4 inches long 

 of bluish gray. Sheep's Fescue is an excellent grass to grow on poor 

 sandy soils for Fairways, when mixed with other grasses, as it helps to 

 make a durable sward. Sown alone, it is too bunchy. For the "Rous^u ' 

 on sandy dry soil, it is excellent. Price, 55c. per lb.; $6.50 per busbel 

 of 14 lbs. ; $42.50 per 100 lbs.

 Canada to the Gulf. A very valuable grass for Fairwa ys especially on 

 land lacking lime. Price, 55c. per lb.; $14.50 per bushel of 32 lbs.;
