Lawns composed of Italian rye may be seeded at any time of theyear from the first of November to the first of March. The time re-quired for Italian rye to establish itself, and to produce a green lawnarea, averages from three to five weeks. An excellent way in which toobtain a green lawn during the winter months is to seed a Bermudagrass lawn, which is at least three months old, with Italian rye at therate of one pound for every one hundred square feet. In the middle and southern portions of Florida this is perhaps the most satisfactorymethod of making a good turf which will be more ox less firm and whichwill be green through the winter months. Italian rye will burn out assoon as the weather begins to get warmer during the middle or latterpart of March, and can be reseeded on the foundation of Bermudagrass, in the same manner, during the succeeding fall. |
