FANCY GRASSES 
EMERSON’S ASTORIA BENT — A 
blue tagged state certified bent of the 
highest quality. Of the same family as 
Colonial or Rhode Island but more vig¬ 
orous in creeping and root development. 
There is no better bent seed. Pound $1.25. 
COLONIAL BENT —The real New 
Zealand grown or Brown Top strain. 
Some of the most beautiful golf greens in 
New England have been grown from this 
seed. Pound $1.25. 
German Mixed Bent — German bent is 
purchased because of what velvet bent 
(an extremely fine light green bent) it 
contains. Otherwise not any more de¬ 
sirable than others. Pound $1.25. 
Seaside Bent — More of a surface creep¬ 
ing bent than others, and not as upright 
in growth. Creeps especially fast how¬ 
ever, and does well in wet places. Pound 
$ 1 . 00 . 
The 5th Green at Concord Country Club 
CHEWING’S NEW 7 ZEALAND FESCUE — A very hardy dark green grass especially adaptable to 
gravelly and sandy soil. Extensively used for golf fairways and in lawn seeds. A perennial, spreading, 
long lived grass, and the finest and most popular of the fescue. EMERSON’S shipments made in cool 
storage to Boston are expecially high in germination. A pound of our seed is worth 2 pounds from ordi¬ 
nary sources. Pound 50c. 
Red or Creeping Fescue — Similar in character to Chewing’s and desirable for dry sandy, gravelly soil 
or banks. We import this seed from Germany. Probably the fastest creeping of grades and in texture 
finer leaved than Chewing’s. Pound 90c. 
Hard or Sheep Fescue — Suitable only for poor soils or pasture land. Has a tendency to grow in bunches 
unless sown thinly. We recommend this only for grazing or meadow use. Pound 40c. 
Meadow Fescue — As its name implies, 
especially suitable for meadow land. A fine 
pasture grass. Pound 20c. 
ROUGH STALK MEADOW —A splendid 
grass for moist soil or shaded places. Used for 
lawn or pasture. Pound 40c. 
W’ood Meadow — Used largely for lawn and 
pasture sowing. Does especially well under 
trees. Pound 50c. 
Another Emerson Green at Minute Man Country Club 
Crested Dog’s Tail — Forms a compact and 
lasting turf, roots deeply and resists dry 
weather. Pound 50c. 
Sweet Vernal — Used in mixtures for the 
sweet odor it gives when cut. Pound $1.00. 
Meadow Foxtail — An old but valuable 
pasture grass. Pound 40c.
