Astoria Bent. This strain of Bent differs 
from the Seaside variety in that it 
spreads mostly underground, sending up 
many root stalks that produce a splen- 
did turf. The growth is upright, of fine 
texture and is a richer green than Sea- 
side Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Excel- 
lent for golf course use. Sow 1 pound to 
200 square feet. Lb. $1.70. 
Seaside Creeping Bent. Coos County 
strain, is the true creeping bent. The 
plant is dwarf and it multiplies rapidly 
by sending out runners in all directions; 
from these, new plants are produced, 
which in turn grow more runners. The 
turf becomes matted, and if damaged it 
heals over promptly. Also good for golf 
course use. Sow 1 pound to 200 square 
feet. Lb. $1.70. 
Chewings Fescue. Used extensively on 
fairways and tees on golf courses, and

duces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1

Ammonium Sulphate is a valuable ferti- 
lizer for all plants in which a large leaf 
development or rapid growth is desired. 
It will stimulate growth almost immedi- 
ately. It is also used for top-dressing 
lawns, producing a thick velvet growth 
and discouraging the weeds. It is a highly 
concentrated nitrogenous product, con- 
taining 25% per cent ammonia, 20%4 per 
cent nitrogen. One pound to 200 square 
feet is sufficient application for lawns. 
Bone Meal. Extra fine; is a fertilizer 
recommended for lawns, rose bushes, 
grape vines, especially where a moder- 
ately slow fertilizer is needed for the 
deep-rooted shrubbery and where a per- 
fectly safe fertilizer is required. It con- 
tains phosphoric acid and some nitrogen. 
Granulated Peat Moss. For greenhouse, 
garden and home. Our peat moss is of 
the finest quality you can buy anywhere 
at any price. Its use contributes to the 
humus content of the soil, lightening

Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phos- 
phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phosphoric acid and lime which is formed 
by the action of sulphuric acid on raw 
phosphate rock. It aids in plant nutri- 
tion and assists the plant to assimilate 
other ingredients. Superphosphate is an 
efficient fertilizer element for lettuce, 
truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering 
of lawns tends to sour the soil and 
eventually the lawn becomes foul with 
sorrell, Creeping Charlie, and other 
weeds which thrive in an acid soil. This 
condition may be improved by applying 
hydranted lime. NOTE: Before applying 
lime to your lawn, consult your county 
agent or your seedsman. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is 
especially valuable for fruit trees and 
berries.
