ASTORIA CHEEPING BENT. The Astoria Creeping 
Bent has been tested and found to be the best 
strain for Iowa conditions. The sowing and care of 
a Bent grass lawn is told about in our lawn seed circular. Sow one pound for 
every 300 sq. ft. For success with Astoria Bent-, sow early in the spring or late 
in the fall. Give it at least one application of a complete fertilizer each year 
(Sheepo and Bone Meal, half and half) at the rate of 1 pound for every 20 sq. 
ft. preferably in the fall or winter. Two applications of Sulphate of Ammonia 
each year; one in June and one in August, at the rate of 1 pound for every 
200 sq. ft. 
The care of this lawn and the correct application of fertilizer is given in my 
lawn circular. WRITE FOR IT.

BENT GRASS PLUGS. Astoria Bent seed can be sown only early in the spring, 
or late in the fall, when the weather is cool, as grass seed does not germinate 
in hot weather. That’s the reason we feature -Bent Grass plugs which are 
easier to grow than stolons, more economical and absolutely sure. The best 
strain of Bent adapted to lawns in this territory. After establishing a Bent 
Grass lawn, you have no weeding expense, no reseeding; the plugs may be 
planted from April 1st to June 1st. and from August 15th to November 1st. 
Bent grass plugs are iy 2 inch cubes of Bent grass sod, cut from a field of 
perfect conditioned Creeping Bent turf. When planted according to directions in 
the booklet which comes with each package, they will produce a lawn of uniform 
color and texture the first season. One box plants 100 sq. ft. and is postpaid
