WTERE YOU tired of looking at your
w sickly crab grass-infested lawn last
summer, when the Kentucky blue gradually
went to sleep" from late June until early
fall? 1t will happen again, but there Is a
way you can beat the game and have a
lawn that will be the envy Of your friends.
Grow a crab grass lawn!
Proof that the much-cussed volunteer
grass can shed Its ugly duckling role and
be turned, almost like magic, into a lovely
greenSward, was the aIl-crab lawn at the
Equitable Apartments at 1909 g street NV.
last year. The man who performed the
trick Is Howard Roseboro, and the orig
inator of the experimental" lawn Is Mrs
Adeline Watson, the resident manager.
It all came about when Mrs. Watson
decided to do something unusual about
the annual problem of keeping grass on
her 8 by so foot front lawn.
Like everyone else, we tore out the
crab grass each fall, only to have 1t come
back as strong as ever In June, July,
August and September Then, instead Of
just giving up. decided tosgive the crab
grass the best care possible and see what
would happen" she recalls.
Mrs. watson told Mr.. Roseboro about
her theory and he agreed to treat the lawn
as IL 1t were sown with high priced seed.
That was two years ago. All last summer,
the lawn was so good-looking that many
Southerners on their way to odlces In the
morning stopped to ask If st. Augustine

ington area. They were amazed to learn
that 1t was their old enemy" crab grass.
Mrs. Watson and Mr.. Roseboro have
learned lot about crab grass culture They
found that. when properly cared for, 1t
will crowd out all weeds. They never
have to buy killer because, like st.
Augustine grass, crab grass forms tight
mat Of roots. So strong Is the lawn, that
Mr.. Roseboro feeds 1t an application OF
5-l0-5 but once a year-late in April. But
his secret" Is nightly watering-he finds
10 pm. about right-and he mows it twice
a week at Ia inches high. He Is Mortified
at the thought Of watering any grass dur
ing the day, for he says it makes grass
tough and hurts the root system. Under
his system of care, the crab grass doesn't
get a chance to send out the familiar
crablike runners, but rather produces
small, soft green blades all summer.
Mr.. Roseboro has but one regret-that
he can't buy a good grade Of crab grass
seed to strengthen one or two thin areas.
A large seed company indicated that the
demand for such seed els zero at the mo-
ment." but was interested in the lawn.
What does all this mean to the WASH
ington area homeowner who hates the
very sight Of the stuff? According to Mrs
Watson, he should re-examine his think
ing about one of Washington's most
abundant crops, particularly for small
sunny areas.

because there is not enough of it In tner
