texture. It serves well for back areas as it better withstands hard wear.

One-quarter of the total is in the tough- 
er, wear-resistant Chewings Fescue and 
Meadow Fescue. These, with Kentucky 
Blue and Fancy Redtop account for 
about three-quarters of the whole leay- 
ing about one-quarter in the Ryegrasses 
to act as temporary nurse grasses. These, 
having broader blades, will disappear 
in time leaving a permanent lawn of 
good texture. Sow 1 Ib. per 100 sq. ft.

Rough-stalked Meadow (Poa trivialis);

the others are established. Sow 1 Ib.

TERRACE LAWN SEED 
The grasses used for a sloping bank or terrace must have such roots as will withstand the washing 
caused by heavy rains. These deep roots will better withstand drought during the summer. 
A heavy proportion of grasses which root deeply is needed to make a 
lasting lawn on a terrace where the soil is usually on the dry side.

deeply to a lower moisture level, and of 
Chewings Fescue and Illahee Fescue
