1 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 strain). Because of it’s tolerance 
of drouth, QWlahee 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. ITllahee 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, 
10 % Highland Bent and 15% domestic Rye grass, by weight.
