Lawn Grass Seeds 
No home is complete without a GOOD, WELL KEPT UP LAWN, and no lawn will 
present a green, velvety appearance throughout the summer unless it was produced 
from the proper mixture of grass seeds and is nourished by frequent applications of a 
proper, well-balanced plant food. See pages 35 and 36 for the correct FERTILIZERS 
for lawns. 
We firmly believe that in nine cases out of ten a base of pure Kentucky Blue Grass 
Seed makes the best lawn, but as Kentucky Blue Grass is somewhat slow in starting, 
it is usually advisable to use other seeds in the proper proportions with Kentucky 
Blue Grass, in starting a new lawn. 
Remember, also, that grass can not be maintained on a diet 
of water alone, any more than can the human body. Lawns 
MUST BE FED a properly balanced plant food to hold that 
bright, velvety green appearance we all so much desire.

THE BENT GRASSES. 
Astoria Bent, the best Bent for lawns because it puts out creepers both above and below 
the surface. Fine, bright green blades. Combined with Ky. Blue Grass it makes a won¬ 
derful lawn. 1 lb. $1.00, by mail $1.10; 3 lbs. $2.85, by mail $3.00; 5 lbs. $4.50, by mail 
$4.70; 10 lbs. $8.50, by mail $8.05. 
Seaside Bent (also called Coos or Cocoos Bent), excellent in lawn mixtures and especially 
adapted for golf courses. Prices same as for ASTORIA BENT. 
Chewings Fescue, very well suited for lawns, especially in poor soils. Good in shady 
places. 1 lb. 40c, by mail 50c; 5 lbs. $1.85, by mail $2.05; 10 lbs. $3.50, by mail $3.05. 
Red Fescue. Has a good creeping root system with dark green blades of fine texture. 
Especially recommended in lawn mixtures. Prices the same as for Chewings Fescue. 
Red Top. A very hardy grass withstanding dry conditions, extensively used in lawn mix¬ 
tures because of its hardy nature and quick germination. 1 lb. 25c, by mail 35c; 3 lbs. 
65c, by mail SOc; 5 lbs. $1.00, by mail $1.20; 10 lbs. $1.00, by mail $2.35. 
Rye Grass (Native) Not a perennial in Colorado, but excellent to use in small proportions 
in new lawns because of its remarkably quick germination which prevents the wash¬ 
ing away of Blue Grass and other slower germinating grasses. Many what we call 
“ASHHAULER” landscape men use 90% Rye Grass in making lawns, which explains 
why cheap landscape jobs never turn out to be really cheap. 1 lb. 15c, by mail 25c; 
5 lbs. 70c, by mail 85c; 10 lbs. $1.35, by mail $1.80.

quickly and is unusually hardy. Blades are not quite as fine as Ky. Blue Glass but are 
a pleasing shade of green. 1 lb. 20c, by mail 30c; 5 lbs. OOc, by mail $1.05; 10 lbs. $1.80, 
by mail $2.25. 
Poa Trivialls. The King of all grasses for shady places and sour soil. Very similar in 
appearance to Ky. Blue Grass. 1 lb. 40c, by mail SOc; 5 lbs. $1.90, by mail $2.05; 10 lbs.
