A Fine Lawn From Our “Mile High” Lawn Grass Seed. 
“Mile High” Lawn Grass Seed 1 
Contains the most beautiful grasses, a percentage of White Dutch Clover, and hardy grasses to protect 
the more tender grasses while they are becoming established. “Mile High” Lawn Grass Seed is a care¬ 
fully blended mixture, made from an exact formula, and backed by years of experimenting with both do¬ 
mestic and foreign grasses. It will form a thick, velvety turf with only a fair amount of care. A mixture 
of 90 per cent Kentucky Blue Grass and 10 per cent White Dutch Clover makes a very beautiful lawn, but 
requires a great deal of care to establish. For golf courses, public parks, school grounds, cemeteries, or 
difficult soil conditions, we will gladly make up special mixtures. Just tell us where you wish to plant 
and we will send the proper mixture of grasses. Or write us and our field seed specialist, Mr. Dessert, 
will be glad to write you fully. 
TO MAKE A LAWN : If the soil is naturally rich 
merely spade and rake it as fine as possible. If the 
soil is poor a good dressing of manure or fertilizer 
should be spaded in first. For all ordinary condi¬ 
tions use “Mile High” Mixture Lawn Seed. Sow the 
seed at least one pound to every 300 square feet 
(10x30 feet). Thicker sowing will give a thick, vel¬ 
vet-like turf much quicker. If the weather is hot, 
or the soil liable to cake, cover with straw or 
branches until the grass is well established.

Kentucky Blue Grass. The most desirable grass for 
lawns, and included in all good lawn grass mix¬ 
tures. Our “Mile High” Lawn Grass contains a 
heavy percentage of Kentucky Blue Grass. Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass forms a thick sod of a beautiful 
dark green color. Very few people sow Blue Grass 
thick enough; for lawns it should be sown one 
pound for every 150 square feet, or for every 
plot 10 by 15 feet. A good.pasture grass, starting 
to grow early in the Spring and continuing until 
the ground freezes. Does best on moist, rich land.

”Mile High” Brand and ^Mountaineer” Brand Field Seed 
Field Seeds carrying our “Mile High” Brand are not only grown from selected seed in selected fields 
and the seed saved only from selected crops, but in addition they are cleaned and recleaned and recleaned 
until only plump, well-developed seeds, free from chaff and foreign seeds, are left, then and only then can 
they wear our “Mile High” Brand. It will always pay you to plant “Mile High” Brand for the slight addi¬ 
tional cost per pound of seed is made up many times over in your crop. 
“Mountaineer” Brand is an excellent second grade at a price that will meet all competitive prices. While 
many would call it first grade seed it does not quite measure up to our “Mile High” standard. Some years 
on certain crops, through adverse weather conditions, it is impossible to produce seed which will grade 
“Mile High.” We will be glad to send you samples of any or all grades on any field seeds in which you 
are interested. ' ■ r
