-EREMOCHLOA OPHIUROIDES (Centipede Grass) 
Centipede is one of the best lawn and pasture grasses for 
the South. Spreads by surface runners and is excellent for 
sunny lawns, both dry and moist soils. Centipede does not 
thrive under alkaline or excessive lime conditions and should 
not be fertilized at excessive rates. High fertilization causes 
heavy mat of grass with roots out of the soil and makes it 
susceptible to drought and disease. Close mowing at less 
than two inches is recommended. Will set about 1200 square 
feet per bushel when set one foot apart each way. 
OPHIOPOGON JAPONICUS 
A low-growing Ophiopogon with very narrow, dark green 
leaves. Excellent ground-cover and border plant. 10 100

STENOTAPHRUM SECUNDATUM (St. Augustine Grass) 
A broad-leaved grass excellent for shady locations. May be 
grown close to salt water. Sets about 800 square feet per 
bushel when set 1 foot apart each way. 
STENOTAPHRUM (St. Augustine Bitter Blue Stem Grass) 
Bitter Blue St. Augustine is one of our better lawn grasses, 
if not the best, for certain locations. Shaded lawns, coastal 
lawns, or those subject to salt sprays, moist.to wet soils, and 
those too alkaline for Centipede, will support good Bitter Blue. 
Responds best to mowing at about two inches. Too close 
cutting of this grass is harmful. 
A much-improved type, stronger growing, tougher, and 
extremely resistant to chinch-bugs. Throughout the year it 
seems to keep its color better than most southern grasses, will 
stand more dry weather, and is equally at home in sun or 
shade. One bushel will plant about 900 square feet of lawn 
if the grass is set a foot apart each way, or 450 square feet 
if spaced 1 foot by 6 inches.
