UNDERGROUND HEATING PREPARES ZOYSIA FOR WINTER SHOW

To make Meyer Z-52 Zoysia grass sum-mer green in cold winter months, mana-ger William H. Wilmot of Summit Hall Turf Farm, Gaithersburg, Md., employs a unique commercial water heating system to bombard the "plug-in" turf grass with heat from above and below.

Wilmot's innovation was put into opera-tion in the winter of 1954, when he was getting some of his Zoysia ready for the annual flower show in Washington, D. C.

Suburban Propane Gas Corp., Rockville, Md., suggested that an 800-Series Ruudia-tor gas boiler would supply more effective greenhouse heating than was being ob-tained with a domestic type water heater.

Hot water from the gas-fired boiler was circulated through 900 ft. of copper pipe underneath the turf. More hot water was

supplied to two overhead downflow unit heaters. The result was that both the soil and the air of the 34 ft. by 17 ft. green-house averaged 78-80 degrees F. on a 40-degree day, despite high heat loss from the building.

In five days after the Ruudiator in-stallation, the grass became summer-green. The outcome of it all was a blue-ribbon at the flower show, plus several thousand curious visitors and prospective customers at Summit Hall.

That experience decided Wilmot. He maintains the artificial greening system every winter.

CRAB JACK IS HANDY WEED KILLER

Crab Jack, made by Hall Industries 111 W. Jackson blvd., Chicago 4, is a bent-handled knife-like device with six tines in the blade and sturdily constructed for quick, easy pulling of crabgrass and wide-leaved weeds.

The device, introduced recently, got a big sale for homelawn crabgrass removal and began to get used as a convenient tool by course maintenance men for elimina-tion of incidental weeds, particularly in greens and tees.

FLEXI-MAT HAS NEW HOME PRACTICE GOLF TEE MAT

The Flexi-Mat Corporation, Chicago 16, HI., manufacturer of golf driving range tee mats, has announced production of a minia-ture rubber mat for home practice use.

New mat is a replica of the standard tee mat, complete with Tampico brush insert for iron club use and rubber tee for use with woods.

Heavy nylon cord rubber construction with spring steel wire binding is the same as used in the firm's standard tee mats. Complete set consists of mat, two sponge rubber practice balls, chipping target net for indoor use and a booklet of helpful tips for better golf.

Big, two-color package illustrates mat
