BRAINARD NURSERY & SEED CO., THOMPSONVILLE, CONN. 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
One of our Specialties, and here’s where we are strong 
Our practical experience and careful study of the various grasses enables us to produce such 
mixtures as, for their specific purposes, are giving the best satisfaction. We use in our mixtures 
of Lawn Grasses absolutely none but the very best of clean high grade grass seed. Our “Rex”, 
“Shady Corner” and other mixtures will give you the results you are looking for. 
It is but a comparatively short time ago that we first put our Rex Mixture Lawn Grass Seed 
on the market, and it has already gained a most enviable reputation. Each season brings a greatly 
increased demand for this, a now standard high quality Lawn Grass Seed. 
Quantity to Use 
The following quantities will be practical 
on most lawn mixtures. For new lawns, 
use 1 lb. to each 300 sq. ft., 5 lbs. to 1500 
sq. ft., 135 to 145 lbs. per acre. For re¬ 
plenishing old lawns we recommend about 
one-half this quantity of seed. 
BRAINARD’S REX MIXTURE. This 
is our very best mixture for general use 
and is actually a blend of a number of 
high grade grasses most suitable to 
withstand the close cutting, extremes of 
weather and other adverse conditions 
ordinary lawns have to endure. It con¬ 
tains, in correct proportions, such very 
important grasses as Kentucky Blue 
Grass, Bent Grass, Fancy Red Top and 
Rough Stalk Meadow Grass and is sold 
in bulk by weight as follows : 1 lb. 45c.; 
2 lbs. 85c.; 3 lbs. $1.25; 6 lbs. $2.40; 12j4

BRAINARD’S VERIGOOD MIXTURE. 
This is a mixture of good, servicable lawn
