McCULLOUGH’S TURF GRASSES 
BENT, ASTORIA, HIGHLAND or 
COLONIAL. (Agrostis tenuis). Excellent 
all-round Bent for lawns, greens, parks 
and playing fields. Grows on a_ wide 
range of soils; creeps mainly by under 
ground root stalks or rhizomes, making a 
deep reinforced sod. It seldom produces 
many stolons or surface runners, thus 
lessening the amount of top dressing and 
watering. Sow about 3 pounds to 1000 
square feet. 
Lb. $1.75; 3 lbs. $5.15; 25 Ibs. $42.00.

for putting greens and lawns. Ranks high 
by U. S. Golf Association for putting sur- 
face, producing a Juxuriant matted growth. 
It is one of the most vigorous, stoloniferous 
creepers, although this characteristic does 
not usually show up till the second year, 
after which it makes a fine turf of uniform 
color and texture. Sow about 3 pounds to 
1000 square feet.

(Japanese Lawn Grass)

it should be helpful tn removing crabgrass 
from the turf. It is propagated vegetatively.
