(1) Its ability to withstand heat, long periods 
of drought and extremely cold climates. 
(2) Its ability to crowd out Crabgrass as it is 
most dominant during the Crabgrass season. 
(3) Its ability to provide a green cover during 
the summer months when other grasses, 
such as Kentucky Blue, turn brown and 
ragged. It will also hold its color into the 
late fall longer than others. 
(4) Its ability to withstand heavy traffic and its 
extraordinary healing qualities. 
(5) The fact that it is disease free and weed 
free. So far none of the known pests have 
attacked it. It is immune to Chinch Bugs. 
(6) Unlike its cousin Flawn, Zoysia japonica 
forms a loosely knit sod and in its early 
stages blends and lives in harmony with 
other grasses, especially Blue Grass. 
CULTURE: 
We recommend using one pound of seed for 
every 450 sq. ft. of lawn area. Under general field 
conditions, planting 12 pounds per acre should be 
sufficient. 
Zoysia japonica does not require extensive fer- 
tilizing because of its ability to thrive under all 
conditions. It is best to fertilize Zoysia during 
the fall, as that is the time most weeds are in- 
active. Do not top-dress. 
Zoysia japonica has one weakness—it is slow 
to germinate. It has, however, so many advan- 
tages in its favor, that it is well worth the extra 
preparation we recommend below. Once this grass 
is established you will have a truly remarkable 
perennial lawn. 
We suggest that in order to reduce the normal 
germination period from six months to 30 days, 
you follow these simple instructions:
