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 of 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 

 sea ons. 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 

 varietie . 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 abil ty 

 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 now 

 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. 



As with all J. Manns 3c Co. seeds, our Superior Lawn Grass 

 Seed is highest in quality and moderately priced. Lb., 40c; 10 

 lbs., $3.75; 100 lbs., $35.00; f. o. b. Baltimore. 



MANN'S SHADY PLACE LAWN GRASS 



This mixture contains only those grasses which are best adapted 

 for growing under trees and in shaded spots. It quickly produces 

 an abundant and even growth of beautiful grass, harmonizing 

 in color and general appearance with our regular "Superior." Lb., 

 50c; 10 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $40.00, f. o. b. Baltimore.
