Miscellaneous Grasses 



As a rule mixtures are better than sep- 

 arate varieties of grasses, as two or more 

 varieties when properly blended will with- 

 stand adverse weather conditions better 

 than a single variety. For exceptional soil 

 conditions, it is sometimes necessary to 

 draw up formulas. 



T\'e list below the various grasses u'^ed 

 for lawns, hay and pastures, together with 

 short descriptions of the uses of each. All 

 have been soecially grown, cleaned and re- 

 clfaned, and are guaranteed to conform 

 with the Pure Seed Lawns of the various 

 States.

Clovers 



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 placf^ 

 in lawns, as it produces a (4uick 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 

 suflScient. 14 lb., 20c; Vz lb., 35c; lb.. 65c: 

 5 lbs., S3. 00.

 poorly drained and slightly acid soils.
