Marathon's Hubbard 87 topped the USDA's national trials...again.

 The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently released the results of a comprehensive three-year-long test, conducted at thirty-five geographically and climatically extreme locations throughout the country. Sixty-five seed varieties were evaluated on a broad range of characteristics including disease resistance, color, density, and growth rates.

 As you can see below, the third year results are now in.

 And Hubbard 87 - the seed variety that emerged on top and was ranked number one in overall turf quality for the past two years - did it again, earning the number one ranking for an unprecedented third year in a row!

 So after years of meticulous and selective plant breeding, Hubbard 87 - perfected exclusively for Southland Sod FarmsTM - is now the primary component in the Marathon mix.

 In other words...as long as there's Genuine Marathon®Sod, you'll never have to settle for second best!
