Choice Qrass Seeds 
Many growers of grass seeds offer several grades of each variety, varying greatly in price. We do not recommend nor do we sell the inferior grades. Those 
which we offer are strictly high grade, and the prices at which we offer them should not be compared with those quoted for inferior grades.
