Buist’s Lawn Grass Seeds 
AUTUMN SOWING PRODUCES A LASTING TURF 
The Fall season, from August 15 to October 1st, is the best time to sow Lawn Grass Seed. The Fall rains hasten 
germination and enable the roots to become well established before freezing weather sets in. Growth is resumed with 
the first thaws of early Spring and the roots are strengthened while seed sown in the Spring is just undergoing germina¬ 
tion. A lawn grown in this way will endure Summer droughts better than a Spring sown lawn. 
SOW—On new land, use 1 lb. for every 200 square feet or 5 lbs. for 1000 squares feet, 100 lbs. for onel acre. For renovating 
old lawns when turf is thin use half quantity.
