BERMUDA GRASS ROOTS - Our Extra Hardy Strain 
ts Just the Thing for Football Fields and Playgrounds 
In this section, Bermuda Grass lawns must be established from the roots of a strain of proven hardiness. (Seed is not suc- 
_ cessful because it is produced only in the South and invariably you will get a tender southern strain that is not hardy to our 
winters.) Our strain of Bermuda Grass, as far as we know, has never been injured by any cold or winter weather in the last 20 
years. It has withstood temperatures as low as 32 degrees below zero, as well as droughts and floods of the past 20 years. In 
fact, it makes a turf so sturdy and tough that it is used extensively on football fields and playgrounds. It is also used on high- 
way plantings on steep slopes such as cuts and overpasses to prevent erosion. 
Bermuda Grass is sold by the bushel of roots. One bushel will plant between 200 and 300 square feet of lawn area, depending 
upon how thick it is planted. It should not be planted before May lst. The period from May 15th to June 15th is the best time 
to plant. However, we have made many successful plantings during July and August. It should NOT be planted in the fall. Our 
Bermuda Grass roots are priced as follows: 
1 to 10 bushels—$1.75 per bushel. 10 bushels or over—$1.50 per bushel. 
Above prices are not prepaid. It is best shipped by express although for short distances it may travel by truck freight. 
It is packed 2 bushels per bag and complete instructions for planting are furnished with each order.
