Individual Varieties of Grass Seeds 
COLONIAL BENTGRASS (Agrostis. tenuis). A fine 
textured, hardy, low-growing perennial well adapted 
for mixing with other grasses for lawns. Upright in 
growth, its rich green color makes beautiful lawn turf. 
Seeds of the bentgrasses run about 8 million to the 
pound. 
ASTORIA BENTGRASS. 
Colonial Bentgrass. 
HIGHLAND BENTGRASS. Classed as a variety of 
Colonial Bentgrass but has a slightly different color 
and habit of growth. 
SEASIDE BENTGRASS. The only true creeping bent 
which is available from seed. All other strains of 
creeping bent are propagated from stolons. Seaside 
forms a matted turf or sod, requiring frequent and 
close cutting. 
RARITAN VELVET BENTGRASS. A very fine leaf 
type of brilliant green color. Quite dwarf in habit of 
growth. This variety is particularly recommended for 
shady areas where the soil is fertile. 
Essentially the same as 
RED TOP. A grass with a creeping habit of growth, 
which makes a coarse, loose turf. The leaves are about 
Y inch wide and the stems are slender. It will grow on 
on soil deficient of lime where other grasses fail, on 
wet land and is drought resistant. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE. This strain of fescue does not 
creep but is upright in growth. Blades are fine and a 
good dark green color. Tolerant of dry soils and mod- 
erate shade. Chewings Fescue has always been one of 
our favorite grasses. 
ILLAHEE FESCUE. A new strain of red fescue which 
creeps by underground stems. The narrow, fine leaves 
have a bright green color. The plant is vigorous and 
tolerant of shade and dry soils. 
ALTA FESCUE. A deep-rooted, tufted, long-lived peren- 
nial grass with many leaves coming from the crown of 
the plant, which are shiny, dark green and broad. 
Adapted to a diversity of soils and forms long, deep 
roots in extremely heavy clay. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). A long- 
lived perennial that is easily identified by its boat- 
shaped leaf tip and dark green color. Bluegrass creeps 
by underground rhizomes. It is dormant during excep- 
tionally hot, dry periods of Summer and turns brown 
unless ample water is applied. It is quite attractive 
in Spring and Fall and remains more or less green in 
Winter if properly managed and fertilized. Bluegrass 
is a heavy feeder and thrives on ample supplies of 
fertilizer. 
POA TRIVIALIS (Rough-stalked bluegrass). Has no 
creeping rootstocks but is most adaptable in shady 
areas where soil is moist and fertile. 
PERENNIAL RYEGRASS. The plant is a tufted, short- 
lived perennial, with numerous long, narrow leaves 
near the base of the plant. The under surface of the 
leaves is bright and glossy. Germinates and grows 
quickly forming cover while slower-growing grasses 
ate getting established. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. This clover has smaller leaves, 
stems and flower heads than the White Dutch clover. 
It is a true perennial and spreads by surface runners 
which root at the joints and therefore can survive 
indefinitely without reseeding. Thrives on fertile soils 
with a reasonable amount of moisture. 
We are located in the heart of beautiful Westchester County, 
New York. Here on about two acres of land you will find a 
WESTCHESTER GREEN lawn, plus separate plots of all 
the individual varieties of lawn grass we sell and some which 
may be the turf grasses of the future. You are invited to inspect 
these plots. We believe you will find them of interest.
