Exciting New Lawn Grasses The year 1969 will no doubt be remembered as ushering in an “era of fine lawn grasses.” True, Men ion bluegrass and noteworthy fescues such as Pennlawn have been stars in the turf 'or some years. But only now is a wealth of varieties becom ing generally available. As never before, the seedsmen can blend unique combinations for almost all climates, soils and human preferences. New bluegrassps are al most too numerous to name. With greater re sistance to disease than even Merion are such tri umphs as Fylking and Penns tar. Sodco is a new com posite excellent for sod. Already introduced are Cougar, Newport, Prato and Windsor. Tenacious old favorites include Aboretum, Kenblue and Park. Incidentally, lawn bluegrasses seem to be grouping into two camps. The old favorites and most European introduc tions exist frugally—actual ly resent too much feed ing and forcing in hot weather. An elite group, of which Merion is a senior mem ber, relishes intensified at tention rather continuous ly- Fine fescue varieties have long been noted for their tolerance of shade, draught, poor soil and low fertility. Newer varieties include Cascade Chewings, High light, Jamestown, Oasis and Ruby; these join stalwarts as Chewings, Ulahee, Penn lawn and Rainier. There are newer Co lonial bentgrasses, too, for most habitats and lawns that are close-mowed. Highland, the workhorse, is joined by Exeter, Hol fior and renewed supplies of Astoria. Penncross is an outstanding creeping bentgrass for athletic turfs such as golf and bowling greens. Some ryegrasses have been elevated to fine turf status, too. These are fine leaved perennials, quick to form a sod. They don’t mow so neatly as blue grass, but otherwise much resemble it. Varieties include Man hattan, newly bred at Rut gers University; NK - 100 and Pelo, developed in Eu rope, and Norlea, originat ing in Canada. Activity Slated At VFW On Sat.
