 ::.TURFCO.:: Sir Walter Care
Whilst SIR WALTER growth rate is much slower than say kikuyu in summer, it provides the growth necessary to cope with wear as opposed to other buffaloes that grow too slowly for many months of the year.
SIR WALTER's resistance to fungus is such that, unlike other buffaloes, terminal effect is extremely unlikely, but it nevertheless is best to avoid fungus encouragement even in SIR WALTER as the least likely adverse effect in any buffalo will be a temporary dead like appearance and a period of dormancy (slow or no growth).

Sir Everard manifested great emotion on receiving this intelligence, which was confirmed to him, in a private interview, by the young lady herself, although under the most dreadful apprehensions of her father’s indignation.
