GRIFFING’S SUN-SHADE GRASS 
Axonopus compresus species 
Superior to the lawn grasses _ commonly sold as 
“Carpet Grass” or “St. Augustine Grass’’, because 
it is hardier, of finer quality, and retains its bright, 
rich, green color summer and winter. Grows equally 
well in sun or shade, underneath large shade trees 
and may be grown near salt water without damage. 
This new Grass fills a long-felt need for a ground 
cover under shade trees, and a permanent green 
lawn. This type does not seed. Must be planted 
from ^ sod. With proper care, a fine lawn can be 
had in a short time.
