Zoysia japonica is a low growing, sod forming 
perennial which if not mowed, will grow to a 
height of about 9 inches. It has a broad, some- 
what course leaf similar to Red Top, but does 
not grow as tall. 
Zoysia japonica is the only variety of Zoysia 
which is hardy and will grow in the South as well 
as in the North. It should never be confused with 
Zoysia matrella which is of value only to the 
southern end of Florida where it is sold as sod 
under the name of Flawn. 
It is generally believed that Zoysia japonica will 
be of great value for the following reasons: 
(1) Its ability to withstand heat, long periods 
of drought and extremely cold climates. 
(2) Its ability to crowd out Crabgrass as it is 
most dominant during the Crabgrass season. 
(3) Its ability to provide a green cover during 
the summer months when other grasses, 
such as Kentnpcky Blue, turh brown and 
ragged. It will also hold its color into the 
late fall longer than others.

(4) Its ability to withstand heavy traffic and its ane Ree ao aed 
extraordinary healing qualities. NEN YORK 86, No 
(5) The fact that it is disease free and weed 
free. So far none of the known pests have November 30, 1953 
attacked it. It is immune to Chinch Bugs. 
(6) Unlike its cousin Flawn, Zoysia japonica Buraett-Seedsmen, Inc., 
forms a loosely knit sod and in its early 23 werren’St-s 
stages blends and lives in harmony with oe BO IG Aa 
other grasses, especially Blue Grass. Gentlemen, 
You asked to let you know when our zoysia lawn would to turn 
brown 
Now, the end~of November, it is still a perfect green. Our Zoysia 
lawns are the admiration of everyone - they coud not be more 
perfect, and the $500 I invested in zoysia seed last Spring is 
far cheaper than spending $500 for the usual hundred pounds of 
J r\ C DE =) ordinary lawn seed and several hundred bags of fertilizer, and the 
labor of applying it all, every Fall, not to mention the daily 
Trade-Mark Sun-er sprinkling of the lawns- something not needed for the Zoysia. 
This much I will say-- it just is not practical to sow Zoysia seed 
RABGRASS SEEDS s alone to start a lawn. I would say the best plan for a new lawn 
THEY SPROUT K ills ( rab TaSS is to sow it in the Fell, rather thinly, using mediocre grade of 
g ordinary seed; let that come up-- you wili have a fair quality lawn 
next Spring. Then that Way, as soon as the ground is getting warm, 
go in and sow the Zoysia at the rate of 30 lbs. per acre, amd rake 
it in, to get it down to the ground, and by August you will see it 
seeds take a good hold- and by the Fall it will have driven out all the 
ordinary grass seed, and you will have a perfect Zoysia lawn.
