STAIGREEN LAWN SEED 



For Lawn Making few months in the year are considered as advisable as August or early 

 September. While the proper preparation of the ground, fertilizing, rolling and watering is 

 considered very essential, the mixture of grasses is a very important one and should be given 

 considerable thought. 



25-Pound versus 14-Pound LAWN SEED 



Many low-price Grass Seed mixtures weigh only 14 pounds per bushel. This indicates either 



a good proportion of chaflf or some of the real good varieties in the rough state, not properly 



cleansed so as to leave only the vital part and less of the chaff or shell. 



In other words, so many less seeds to the quart or pound that will germinate and grow real 



grass. 



Why Not Buy the Re-cleaned Kind? 



A mixture of grasses weighing 25 pounds per bushel, of high germination and purity, perma- 

 nent in nature, the varieties carefully proportioned so that they will succeed one another in 

 brightness of foliage, with the result that the lawn, even in its first year, will have a bright, 

 rich green color from early spring until covered by snow.
