KENTUCKY 
Produces a dense sod of pleasing quality and appear- 
ance and spreads rapidly. It grows best on soil of me- 
dium to rich fertility and is tolerant to soils slightly 
acid to neutral-in reaction. Blue Grass for pasture 
should be sown 20 lbs. per acre if seeded alone. Heavier 
production is obtained by using in combination with 
other grasses and legumes. For lawns 1 lb. per 200 sq. 
ft. is ample for new seedings. May be broadcast very 
early in the spring to thicken old stands. Responds 
well to applications of Ammonium Nitrate. Lawns 
should be cut 1 to 1% inches high. If cut too closely 
the grass will not sufficiently control weeds. This is 
high quality 21 lb. Grass.
