LAWN AND PASTURE GRASSES 
BERMUDA OR MANIENIE 
Because of climatic conditions in the Hawaiian Islands, the Mariana Is'ands and on most 
of the Islands of the Central and South Pacific, it has been found that Bermuda Grass, 
commonly called Manienie in Hawaii makes the most satisfactory lawns. 
We always carry an ample stock of this popular grass seed.

BENT GRASS SEED 
For lawn purposes the Bents might well be considered the “aristocrats” of the grasses. 
When grown properly and well cared for they make very beautiful lawns and produce 
a fine thick turf. 
Bent grasses are in use for lawns and golf courses, under various climate conditions, 
but since they are susceptible to injury from fungus diseases they are recommended for 
those who have the time and will to study carefully their management. 
ASTORIA BENT—For lawn or putting green; grows a luxuriant dark green velvety 
turf and creeps mostly by underground root-stalks. Sow 1 pound to 20x25 or 500 square feet. 
HIGHLAND BENT—A very hardy Bent which is considered less susceptible to the fungus 
diseases and is recommended for sowing on putting greens or lawns that get considerable 
wear. It is fine leaved, upright growth, moderately light green color and spreads by 
strong underground root stalks. Sow 1 pound to 15x20 or 300 square feet. 
SEASIDE BENT—A true creeping Bent, producing surface runners which root at each 
joint when they come in contact with the soil. Once established, the growth is upright, of 
fine texture and a beautiful rich green with a thick, smooth and enduring turf. Sow 1 
pound to 20x25 or 500 square feet.

DICHONDRA 
You've heard about this new type lawn that looks like compact, dark green clover. Once 
established it needs mowing only twice a year to keep it in perfect condition. It grows in 
either sun or shade. It creates a strong turf with little watering. If you have had trouble 
growing grass anywhere, why not try this new type lawn covering. Here is the first grass 
substitute that has had any merit. Tree roots do not bother it, and if you want a covering 
around shrub beds to help shade the ground and retain moisture, you can use Dichondra. 
Plant 3 ounces of seed to 1000 square feet of area to be covered. Do not use regular 
fertilizers. Feed after well established with LIQUID FERTILIZER only. For best results 
we recommend HYPONEX.
