UNHULLED BERMUDA GRASS

lawns. Makes vigorous and persistent 
growth, lasts for years, stands long, hot 
summers well and grows well in any 
soil not too wet. Ideal for lawns, golf 
courses and athletic fields. Makes a 
tough, even turf without clumps and 
recovers quickly after cutting. For best 
results, sow when ground is thoroughly 
warm and moist. 
HULLED BERMUDA

hard, almost water-tight hull speeds 
germination. With proper moisture con- 
ditions, seed germinates in one to two 
weeks and develops rapidly into a beau- 
tiful green lawn.

any other grass in poor, sandy soil.

the better it likes it. Good only in certain
