CAN BE THE PERFECT SETTING FOR 
_ THE GEM WHICH IS YOUR HOME 
STAFFEL’S BERMUDA GRASS 
. . for a hardy summer lawn 
A perennial. It is long-lived and has a spreading habit 
of growth and propagates by runners, underground root stocks 
and seed. Runners grow from 2 to 5 or more inches in length. 
The leaves are short, flat, and bluish-green and 1 to 4 inches 
long. It is widely used in the South as a lawn grass because of 
its resistance to drought and hot summer sun. Bermuda grass 
will grow in almost any soil that is fertile and not too wet, 
but grows best on heavy soils. It thrives best in warm or hot 
weather and will not usually survive heavy freezes. Bermuda 
grass turns brown in the fall and is dormant during the winter. 
It is a common practice in Texas to seed annual rye grass on 
Bermuda lawns for a green winter turf.

MASTER GARDENER 
HOW TO REVITALIZE LAWNS! 
Revitalizing a lawn calls for complete, balanced feeding 
and reseeding of thin spots. Early spring and early fall 
are the best times to remake a lawn. Fall lawn work 
should start in the late summer so that germinating seed 
can get a good “‘root-hold” before the soil freezes. 
FEED FIRST... give the entire lawn area a complete 
balanced feeding of Vigoro, using 3 Ibs. per 100 square 
feet. Apply when the grass is dry. If possible, use a 
plant food spreader. If applied by hand, put on 16 
crosswise and the other 14 lengthwise to get even dis- 
tribution. 
SOAK THOROUGHLY....after the plant food has 
been knocked from the grass blades by ruffiing with the 
back of a rake. A good wetting down is needed to 
| spread the plant food in the soil and to take it to the 
root zone. 
SEED BARE SPOTS—THIN AREAS....a day or 
“two after feeding. Depending upon the thickness of 
present stand of grass, either reseed the bare spots after 
loosening the soil or reseed the entire lawn at the rate 
of 2 pounds of seed per 1,000 square fect. 
ROLL... or tamp to make certain the seed is in firm 
contact with the soil. 
Many experienced gardeners sift a little fine top soil 
over reseeded areas to prevent sced from drying out. 
These gardeners have also found that regular Vigoro 
feeding—once in the early spring and again in the early 
fall—is the best way to assure real lawn beauty.
