The extra work and expense involved in the upkeep of a good bent grass lawn is the only drawback to this species. In areas which are shaded to the_ extent that Kentucky Blue grass, will flot do well, 'the most 'desirahle grass iPoa Trivialis (Rough Stalked Mead-, 0w grass). It las also been' fouind that Chewing's Fescue ig imore toler- ant to shade than. Kentucky' Blue ass and' should usually bé seeded with Poa Trivialis. Mixture of Seed lest Thec fact that there are four spe- cies of grass Which produce the mnost, desrabe lwnsin tbis section, does flot. mean. that, any one of these should be seeded alone.. Better re- ,suits wMl be. secured if a mixture of seeds is sown, except in the seeding of bent. lawns., The seeds of Ken-. tukyBle gasChewing's Fescue. anid Poa Trivialis germninate very -slowly, usuafly reqiring from 21 te. 28 . days in the spring, and each of these grasses grows and develops slowly during the first year. There- _ fore it is desirable to sow with the seeds of any of these, a small pro- portion of the seeds of quick germ- inating and quick growing grasses. These. latter are known as nurse grasses. Foin Protectioni The best nurse grasses for this region are Redi Top and Domestk' Rye grass. Neither of these grasses are satisfactory for lawn purposes but because their seeds germinate quickly (5 to 10 days) ani because the' plants grow rapidly the first year and then largely die out of the lawn during the, second year, they are very valuable when sown in con- junction with the desirable- permané- ent turf forming grasses. Not only is a grass cover securedmore quickly ini the seeded areas, but the quick growing Red :Top. and Rye gras s permit better germination of the slow germiiiating seeds of the desirable siower growing turf grasses, these should not make up more' than 30 per cent of fthe mixture as a maximum.
