Our “Evergreen” Lawn Grass is a correctly proportioned 
mixture of the very best varieties of grasses blended ac- 
cording to a formula which has resulted from many years 
of study and experience. 
Every variety included has its special duty to perform 
in the qui¢ék production and steady maintenance or a 
beautiful and permanent lawn. Soil and climatic condi- 
tions are provided for by including each of the grasses 
which fiourish 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 sum- 
mer while others grow best during the fall and early 
winter. We have also included those types which pro- 
duce strong, fibrous root systems holding the turf in 
place, preventing the soil from 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 
appearance, some for drought resisting qualities and 
ethers 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 ‘Evergreen’ 
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. 
In offering this mixture, we realize that the customer 
does not merely purchase a bag of seeds, but also makes 
an investment of time and money for the establishment 
cf a permanent lawn with which to beautify his property. 
We therefore do not grade our mixture down to a price, 
but carefully follow our formula and our knowledge of 
the markets and experienced purchasing methods take 
care of the prices. i
