We quote from Farmer’s Bulletin, U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, 1935 Pub.: “St. Augustine 
Grass has no equal as shade grass in Florida or 
the coastal plain of the southern states. It grows 
equally well in the sun or shade. If given plenty 
of water and nitrogen fertilizer, it will grow 
under practically all conditions in this section. 
It is one of the best grasses available for shade; 
but, since seed is not available, lawns are started 
vegetatively.’’ Price of well rooted runners, 50c
