GRASSES — Continued 
There is nothing that will improve the appearance of your home so much as a well kept lawn with a 
flower bed or two and a liberal planting of shrubs along the borders. To have a good lawn it is necessary that 
you get your soil in fine condition, that you sow a sufficient quantity of good seed, and that you take care 
of the grass after you have a stand. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
This has long been the standard grass in America for both lawns and pastures. There are a good 
many grass seed mixtures on the market but the base of all the good ones is Kentucky Blue Grass. Nine 
parts of Kentucky Blue Grass and one part of White Clover make a very good mixture for lawns. Very few 
people sow Blue Grass thick enough. For lawns one pound should be sown for every 150 square feet or 
for every plot 10 by 15 feet. 
Kentucky Blue Grass thrives best on limestone soil and although somewhat slow in starting it is 
permanent, when once established. When sowing for pastures from 25 to 30 pounds should be sown per 
acre. Price Lib. 30c

Barteldes' 
"Sunflower Brand" 
Lawn Mixture 
We consider this mixture better than straight Blue Grass. 
It is made up principally of Kentucky Blue, White Clover, and 
some other grasses that will grow rapidly and make a good showing 
immediately. These coarser grasses will also protect the Blue 
Grass and let it get a good start. 
The Kentucky Blue Grass and White Clover will eventually 
drive out the other grasses and make a fine lawn. This Sun- 
flower Lawn Grass is made just as good as we know how to make 
it and we have had forty years' experience with grass seeds.
