Putting Green Mixture 



Only a few of the rarer and more expensive turf grasses will meet the strict require-

 constant tramping. State if for use on light, dry. or heavy, rich soils.

 in this mixture are thoroughly cleaned and free from weed seeds.

Miscellaneous Grasses 



As a rule mixtures are better than separate varieties of grasses, as two or more varieties 

 when properly blended will withstand adverse weather conditions better than a single 

 variety. For exceptional soil conditions, it is sometimes necessary to draw up formulas. 



We list below the various grasses used for lawns, hay and pastures, together with short 

 descriptions of the uses of each. All have been specially grown, cleaned and recleaned, 

 and are guaranteed to conform with the Piire Seed Laws of the various States. 



Prices subject to market cbang-es.

 for rich limestone soil, but will do well 

 on any rich soil. This variety is the base 

 of our Evergreen Lawn Mixture. Lb.. 

 70c; 10 lbs., $6.00: 100 lbs., $55.00.

 10 lbs., S5.00; 100 lbs., $45.00.

 bunch. Lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., 

 $45.00. 



Timothy (Phleum pratense). The most 

 widely grown and profitable hay grass.

 one of the clovers or Red Top with it. If 

 sown alone, 15 pounds per acre. Write 

 for prices. 



White Dutch Clover. Our grass seed mix- 

 tures do not contain White Dutch Clover, 

 as it does not mix well with grass seeds, 

 which are lighter in weight. However, 

 White Dutch Clover has a definite place 

 in lawns, as it produces a quick sod and 

 helps to feed the other grasses. Unless a 

 very heavy seeding is required, as for 

 poor soils, 1 lb. per 2000 square feet is 

 sufl^cient. % lb., 25c; ^ lb., 45c; lb.. 75c: 

 5 lbs., $3 BO.
