BURNETT-SEEDSMEN’S “POORSOIL LAWNMIX’’ 
Drouth Resistant grasses is the answer to establishing a lawn in poor, 
sandy soils, for the same reason that camels, not horses, are used in the 
desert. - - So, Burnett-Seedsmen have selected the best drouth grass, 
namely, Creeping Red Fescue (Illahee straii:). Because of it’s tolerance 
of drouth, Mllahee is especially adapted to dry, sandy or gravelly soils— 
poor or rich. Illahee Creeping Red Fescue produces a deep rooted sod 
that withstands tramping and abuse. It spreads out, carpet-like, by 
means of underground rootstocks and overground stems. The grass blades 
are rich green, fine, smooth and soft; they stay green when other grasses 
brown and sear in Summer. Illahee is disease resistant; stands close 
cutting; grows in sun or shade and reaches full maturity in two years. 
It grows well with Highland Bent, also included in Burnett-Seedsmen’s 
Poorsoil Lawnmiz. Highland Bent’s growth habit somewhat parallels 
Illahee Fescue, especially being able to withstand adverse conditions of 
climate and low soil fertility. To these two permanent grasses is added 
a small percentage of domestic Rye Grass which acts as a nurse crop. 
Burnett-Seedsmen’s “Poorsoil Lawnmix” contains 75% Illahee Fescue, 
5% Highland Bent and 20% domestic Rye grass, by weight.
