because of its ability to withstand adverse conditions. It spreads 
by means of creeping underground stems and is the hardiest of the

because of the nature of its growth.

slightly creeping and very hardy. As it is slow to germinate, we rec- 
ammend combining it with other grasses. One pound will sow 200 
sq. ft. Seed in short supply. Write for prices

by underground runners that make an extremely tight 
sod. The leaves are fine, needle-like and have a deep 
green color. This Fescue thrives on all types of soil,

alone or in combination with one or more other grasses.
