Holmes Own Exclusive Strain of Bitter Blue Stem 
St. Augustine Grass. In the early years of the chinch-bug 
invasion, certain parts of our Bitter Blue Stem Grass sod 
nursery never seemed to be bothered. We “‘isolated’’ the 
hardy section, kept working on it and with it, until we be- 
lieve this is the most chinch-bug-proof grass you can buy. 
But chinch-bugs aren’t all you have to fight to have a 
good lawn. Having them licked, however, gives you a 
chance to enjoy the other good qualities of Holmes Bitter 
Blue Stem Grass. It keeps its color better through all 
the seasons of the year, and in particular, stands dry 
weather better than any other strain we’ve tested. 
If you have any problems with your lawn, let’s discuss 
them when you come to our Nurseries. We may have the 
solution to what’s bothering you. 
But first, assure yourself of the best lawn with our Ex- 
clusive Strain Bitter Blue Stem Grass. It’s not expensive 
even with all its good qualities.
