Lawn Seeds 
FOR THE TEMPORARY LAWN 
A mixture composed of Tall Fescue and Ryegrass, intended primarily for one season 
use. Especially good for late spring seeding on soils known to be weed _ infested. 
Makes an excellent soil building crop for turning under in early fall or provides a 
good base for the planting of permanent grasses in the early fall when aerified and 
spiked to provide a good seed bed. In the meantime it makes a pleasing one-season 
Jawn which should be cut and managed the same as the permanent lawn.

MEYER ZOYSIA 
Perhaps the most publicized of all the newer grasses, the subject of wide interest and 
some controversy. Unlike the cool season grasses normally planted in the north, 
MEYER ZOYSIA is at its best in mid-summer heat and humidity, when cool season 
grasses sometimes collapse. In the mid-south it has been successfully combined with 
MERION BLUEGRASS to form beautiful all-season turf. There are numerous beau- 
tiful lawns of this combination in Baltimore and Washington, D. C. With the possible 
exception of the south shore of Long Island and the Jersey sea coast, it is dubious if 
MEYER ZOYSIA and Merion Bluegrass will prove compatable in this general area. 
To the person whose primary concern is a beautiful lawn during mid-summer heat, 
MEYER ZOYSIA is the answer. It is the complete master of crab grass, insects and 
disease, but it will be brown and straw-colored from the first heavy frost of fall until 
the return of warm weather in late April or May. It may winter-kill if subjected to 
much traffic in winter. 
MEYER ZOYSIA is planted only from plugs and no seed is available. Plugs should 
be planted in the New York area from mid-May to early August. Runners spread 
quite rapidly when planted at this time but two inch plugs planted on six inch centers 
may require two years to close into a tight, dense turf. The MEYER ZOYSIA plugs 
we offer for sale are nursery grown in specially prepared, sterilized soil and are cut 
from three year old sod. These plugs should not be confused with spring grown stolons.
