BUFFALO GRASS PLANTS 
This grass is umloubtedly the most perfect lawn grass for 
dry conditions. It spreads by runners and produces a dense 
mat on the ground. We list this grass by the 100 rooted 
plants. The plants are set out from 6 to 15 inches apart 
each way. In one season the whole area should fill in. Needs 
practically no mowing. Plants can not be reset till new 
growth has started. Consequently we cannot send plants 
out till May or June. Per 100 plants postpaid, 75e (enough 
for 140 sq. ft.); 500, $3.25; F. O. B. here, 1000, $5.50.
