Introduction
On horses, houses, baseball and belles there
is much disagreement. Select any subject, state a preference
and one can find an argument. Except lawn grass. On grass
there is surprising unanimity - everyone wants a velvet-like
carpet that never needs mowing or watering, performs perfectly
on rich or poor soil, in sun or shade, and is deep green 365
days a year.
We can't offer you such a grass ... nor can
anyone else. In recent years much money and effort have been
spent selecting and breeding better lawn and turf grasses,
and several have been developed which are vastly superior
to the old ones, but there is no promise or probability that
soneone will come up with the perfect grass.
People are surprised to learn that thousands
of different Bermudas, Zoysias and St. Augustines, some good,
some poor, but all different, have undergone scientific testing
to determine the best strain or strains for turf uses. New
ones come along often, but it is usually prudent to let someone
else do the experimenting and use what is tried and proven.
Grass is our business. We attempt herein to
provide you with accurate, impartial information that will
assist you in selecting, establishing and maintaining the
grass that will produce for you a beautiful, care-free lawn.
