Mixtures 



Used on Many of America's Famous Courses 



Mixtures of Grass Seeds that have been scientifically blended by 

 experts in the production of turf for Golf Courses are preferred by 

 experienced greenkeepers. They have learned that a quicker 

 and more uniform stand of grass is obtained where a mixture is 

 employed ; also that the resulting turf possesses greater qualities of 

 endurance. 



In the first place a mixed turf is not so readily influenced by 

 adverse atmospheric conditions of drought or excessive moisture 

 as one composed of a single variety of grass, because the feeding 

 roots are not all grouped in the same depth of soil and consequently 

 are not all affected by a localized soil condition. Perhaps the 

 paramount advantage, however, lies in the fact that it has been 

 proven that turf composed of a mixture of grasses is far less sus- 

 ceptible to the ravages of fungus diseases — like Brown Patch — than a 

 Green containing one variety of grass only. 



PUTTING GREEN 



(Bent Formula) 



Putting Greens sown with a properly blended mixture of grasses 

 are in most cases far superior to those on which only one variety was 

 sown. They come into play quicker after seeding; they present a 

 more attractive appearance from early spring to late fall ; and due 

 to the fact that the roots draw their nourishment from various 

 depths in the soil, a more resistant and durable turf is formed. 



This mixture contains a large percentage of the various Bents 

 and is the best that scientific skill and many years of experience 

 can produce. Sow from 75 to 100 lbs. for the average sized 90 x 90 

 ft. green. 



Price, 90c per lb.; 10 lbs. $8.00; 25 lbs. $18.00; $65.00 per 100 lbs.; 

 transportation paid. 



FAIRWAY 



On most Golf Courses the Fairways receive far less attention 

 than the Putting Greens; it is therefore important that a mixture of 

 grass seeds be sown that will produce a fine, well knit elastic turf, 

 requiring a minimum amount of attention. The importance of 

 good Fairways cannot be overestimated, for walking on a springy 

 turf that is pleasing to the eye, is one of the added attractions of the 

 game. 



This mixture is specially blended to fulfill these requirements. 

 Sow 150 to 200 lbs. per acre, according to the nature of the soil. 

 For renovating, use half this amount. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 25 lbs. $9.00; $30.00 per 100 lbs.; transpor- 

 tation paid. 



FAIRWAY-BENT 



There is an increasing demand for Bent in the Fairways and 

 Polo Fields, so we have blended a special formula containing a 

 good percentage of South German, Rhode Island, and Colonial 

 Bents, with other Fairway grasses adaptable for most soil con- 

 ditions. Price 75c per lb.; 10 lb. $6.00; 25 lbs. $14.00; $50.00 per 

 100 lb.; transportation paid. 



SPECIAL MIXTURE FOR BUNKERS 



As bunkers and mounds frequently become extremely dry and 

 parched, we have developed a mixture that will give satisfaction 

 under these trying conditions. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 25 lbs. $10.00; $35.00 per 100 lbs.; transpor- 

 tation paid. 



SPECIAL MIXTURE FOR THE ROUGH 



As more attention is now given to the refinements of the game, 

 the Rough is no longer allowed to be covered with weeds, but is 

 sown with a recleaned grass seed mixture such .as offered here in 

 order to produce a fair, though not unduly troublesome penalty 

 for the players. 



Price, 40c per lb.; 25 lbs. $7.50; $28.00 per 100 lbs.; transpor- 

 tation paid. 



SPECIAL MIXTURE FOR TEES 



This Special Mixture is composed of extremely deep rooting 

 grasses that will stand great wear, combined with the stoloniferous 

 types that will cover the divot scars quickly. Sow at the rate of 

 10 lbs. to 1,000 square feet. 



Price, 50c per lb.; 25 lbs. $10.00; $35.00 per 100 lbs.; transpor- 

 tation paid.
