Contains only the highest grade of grasses suitable 
for the purpose of maliing a beautiful, durable, lasting

deeply. This enables it to withstand the intense heat 
of summer and the hard cold of winter, showing a 
beautiful, rich ffreen from snow to snow. It contains 
no annual grasses for maliing a quick show, to the det- 
riment of the permanent lawn, but has only those which 
are lasting and hardy. When a lawn is once estab-

eight weeks' time is all that is required to form a close, 
thick turf of rich velvety green. One pound sows 300
