Burgess* Creeping Bent Grass Mixture 
The Lawn Grass Which Discourages Weeds 
This is the most popular grass for golf courses and it is rapidly gaining in favor as a lawn 
grass, for the rea.son it likes an acid soil and can be fed with acid reacting fertilizers, such as 
our “Soil-Vitamines” brand, the constant use of which discourages weeds. 
Bent Grass makes soft, beautiful, permanent lawns, and makes a sod that is wonderful for 
terraces. Rain cannot wash tiny ditches in your terrace; neither will your sidewalks or drive¬ 
ways be covered with dirt if you use Bent Grass on your lawn and terraces. Our Creeping Bent 
is a mixture, including True Creeping Bent, Velvet Bent and Rhode Island Bent. It is the 
best Bent Grass obtainable, and we consider that we are fortunate in being able to supply our
