Turf for Airports 


Both small planes and large airliners are safe on grass turf 
A smooth take-off and a perfect landing are impossible in heavy 
mud or on a dry, hard field covered with ruts, but they are easily 
made on level grass-land which has been kept regularly mown. To 
cover a field with a matted, yielding, wear-resistant turf is not 
difficult in most cases, nor need it be costly. 
A good grass field is safe because in bad weather, as well as good, 
the surface is even and firm; and by using grass varieties that have 
tough wiry leaves and very deep roots, a sod can be obtained that 
will not readily develop ruts and mud-holes. Thus will be prevented 
many a broken propeller, many a damaged plane, many an injury 
to the aviator. 
In dry weather, dust is absent from a grass field. There are no 
stones to be caught up by the slipstream to annoy passengers and 
damage wing surfaces, no grit to settle on motors. ~

northern grasses will not thrive permanently, and good results 
are not likely to follow the use of the customary mixtures. We 
offer a special formula which we find is highly satisfactory. We 
advise that two seedings be made, one in spring and one in fall, 
allowing at each, one pound to every 20 by 20 feet. Lb. 90 cts., 
21 lbs. $2.15, 5 Ibs. $4.25, 10 Ibs. $8, 25 lbs. $19, 100 lbs. $70.

Distinctive marking may be helpful to the pilot on an all-grass 
field; and if wished, the field may have runways of dark green against 
a lighter gray-green for the remainder of the area. When this mark- 
ing is desired, use our Superfine Quality seeds for the runways and 
our Fine Quality seeds for the remainder of the field. The effect may be 
enhanced by applying Special Grass Fertilizer to the runways before 
seeding, and by top-dressing them every spring and fall; it also helps 
if the runways are mown more frequently than the out-field.

Turf Grasses and Their Cost 
The law in most States requires that an analysis tag be placed 
on all packages of lawn seeds. Please read it. 
Kentucky Bluegrass, Chewing’s Fescue, and Bent Grasses 
are the principal permanent grasses in northern lawns. Shade 
Bluegrass (Poa trivialis) is good in shade mixtures; in sunny 
mixtures, also. 
These varieties should PREDOMINATE in a good mixture. 
Unfortunately they are expensive and our mixtures may appear 
to cost more, but the use of the best seed is proper economy, 
saving much weeding and renovating expense later. 
Redtop is a semi-permanent nurse grass and a moderate percentage is ad- 
visable in most mixtures. Perennial Ryegrass is semi-permanent too, and 
another good nurse grass, particularly in shade formulas and for spring sow- 
ing; but it should form only a moderate percentage of the mixture. _White 
Clover, where desired, may form a very small proportion of the grass mixture. 
Common Ryegrass is an annual, and should only be considered as a nurse 
grass or for temporary lawns. We do not recommend Timothy for lawns. 
Both Common Ryegrass and Timothy are quick to start, and cheap. A 
lawn sown with a mixture containing them may get a head start and look 
superior for the first few weeks, but eventually it will be surpassed both in 
permanence and in good color by lawns sown with higher quality seed. Good 
seed is still the lowest cost item in producing turf.
