Before Seeding Four Months Later 
Two photographs of the athletic field of the famous old Germantown Academy, an institution founded in 1760. The first picture 
shows the field without a blade of grass and covered with stones, in June. The second photo was taken in October during an Inter¬ 
academic League football game, after LANDRETHS* TUFFWEAR Seed had been planted. 
SPORTS TURF 
It is important to have grasses which have long, tough roots and are able to withstand sharp spikes, 
cleats and drought. In preparing these mixtures we have consulted numerous experts and groundsmen, 
including the well-known Mr. George M. Woolley, of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, who has had over 
thirty years’ experience with Davis Cup Competition and National Championships. We have taken all 
types of soil and climates into consideration. Landreths’ Athletic Mixtures do not contain clover unless 
ordered specially. Our grasses are tested by the Penna. Department of Agriculture for purity and germination.
