Harris* Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture 
We can confidentially state that no better grass seed can be purchased. 
Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture is composed of the pure seeds of 
those fine leaved and deep rooted grasses which we have found by long 
experience to be the most desirable and best suited for lawns. They 
are the finest seed of these varieties which can be obtained and are all 
tested for purity and germination before being mixed together. None 
are used which do not come up to the highest standard of excellence. 
These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought well 
and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years.

You want your lawn to last for a number of years—sow only the best 
seed. If you want really good seed we have it, but if you want ordinary 
“Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner grocery. Our seed is 
so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 30 lbs. instead 
of 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn grass seed. 
The best results are obtained by sowing the seed quite thick—1 lb. 
or quart to 200 to 300 square feet, but sowing one pound on 400 to 500 
square feet will make an excellent lawn although not quite as quickly. 
Note — Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture contains White 
Clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn, as the roots 
penetrate deep into the soil and so get water to keep the lawn 
green during very hot weather. We can furnish the seed without 
White Clover , if desired, at the same price. Ask for Harris’ 
Superfine Lawn Grass Seed without clover.
