| | |  | MARATHON I | Marathon combines the best of both worlds in terms of beauty and durability. It is a 100% tall fescue
blend containing the Hubbard 87 and Baja varieties. Both are exclusive to Southland Sod Farms and
are the result of multiple generations of selective breeding. Primary selection criteria were dark color,
dense crown, disease resistance and fine leaf texture. Until 1992, Baja (the first generation dwarf) was
the main component of Marathon II. Based on current state of the art breeding standards, Baja would
now be considered a semi-dwarf. During its tenure in Marathon II, Baja has proven itself through the
sales of millions of square feet of sod. By shifting it to Marathon, we are able to continue to take
advantage of its excellent performance. It is an ideal blend component with Hubbard 87, The two
varieties compliment one another in physical characteristics, and the blend eliminates the potential
effect of individual weaknesses, which are sometimes a risk with monocultures. SADDLEBACK MATERIALS COMPANY is an authorized dealer for Marathon I. You can Order Online or Call Us at 1-800-286-7263
