KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis). Kentucky Blue 
Grass is most valuable for pastures and lawn planting. For 
lawns it is indispensable; when well established, the lawn will 
last for years, for the grass makes an extra-close, fine-textured 
turf. The seed should be mixed with other grasses that mature 
earlier, for Blue Grass is very slow in both germinating and 
maturing. Lb. $1.25, 5 Ibs. $6.15, 10 Ibs. $12. 
MERION (B27) BLUE GRASS. A particular strain of Blue 
Grass of recent introduction. It makes a dense dark green 
turf, is resistant to leafspot disease, tolerates close mowing, 
is heat and drought resistant and produces a much better 
quality turf throughout the growing season than common Blue 
Grass. Seed supply limited at present.
