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 estab¬ 
lishing 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 1% 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 pack¬ 
age, they will produce a lawn of uni¬ 
form color and texture the first season. 
One box plants 100 sq. ft. and is post¬ 
paid for only $1.25.
