MISCELLANEOUS FIELD SEEDS 



Evergreen Lawn Grass 



Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet, 40 to 60 pounds per acre. 



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 quick production and steady maintenance of a 

 beautiful and permanent lawn. Soil and climatic condi- 

 tions are provided for by including each of the grasses 

 which nourish 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 

 ■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 "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 

 of 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.
