MANNS’ SUPERIOR LAWN GRASS 
Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet, 40 to 60 pounds per acre. 
Our Superior Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned mixture 
of the very best varieties of grasses blended according to a formu- 
la which has resulted from many years ot study and experience. 
Every variety included has its special duty to perform in the 
quick production and steady maintenance of a beautiful and per- 
menent lawn. Soil and climatic conditions are provided for by 
including each of the grasses which flourish during the various 
seasons. There are those which develop to perfection very early 
in the spring, some especially suited for resisting the heat of the 
summer while others grow best during the fall and early winter. 
We have also included tho e types which produce strong, fibrous 
root systems holding the turt in place, preventing the soil irom 
washing and holding the moisture, greatly assisting the other 
varieties. Others because of their creeping nature quickly fill 
up the bare spots which may be caused by the taller sorts dying 
down; some particularly useful for their beautiful, velvety appear- 
ance, some for drought resisting qualities and others for ability 
to withstand very wet seasons. 
Both imported and domestic grasses are procured from growers 
best equipped to produce the respective sorts in their highest 
quality most economically. We do not purchase an ounce of ready 
mixed lawn seed and therefore we positively know our customers 
are getting Superior Lawn Grass mixed according to our own 
formula. By this method of purchasing, we also find it possible 
to supply the highest quality seed at the lowest possible prices.
