LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
Commercial lawn grass mixtures are many and their composition usually varies to meet the price demands 
of the purchaser. The WELL BALANCED MIXTURES listed below contain a generous proportion of at 
least one base or permanent grass and are not overloaded with quick growing, short lived varieties that are grati¬ 
fying to the eye for a short time after seeding but which later die out, leaving a worn out, weedy sod. 
A view of our Proving Grounds for Turf Grasses 
TURFMAKER M ixture is composed of two base 
grasses: Colonial Bent and Kentucky Blue Grass and 
one nurse grass; Red Top along with a special pur¬ 
pose grass; Rough Stalked Meadow Grass which 
also serves very well as a nurse grass and permits a 
good fine textured turf from the start without it 
going coarse after a season or two. WOODCO 
Brand seeds are used throughout so that it is clem 
and the weed content is less than one-half of one 
percent. 10 lbs., $6.30; 25 lbs., $15.00; 50 lbs., 
$28.00; 100 lbs., $55.00. 
MILFORD GREEN Lawn Mixture consists of 
Kentucky Blue Grass and New Zealand Che wings 
Fescue as the permanent grasses, Red Top and Do¬ 
mestic Rye Grass as the nurse grasses and White 
Clover, which we feel does not aid or harm any mix¬ 
ture hut is rather a buyer’s choice. This is our fastest 
selling mixture and is meeting with wide approval 
where good clean seed is required on general soils 
and where expenditure curtailment prevents buying 
Turfmaker. The weed content is less than one per¬ 
cent with no noxious weeds. 10 lbs., $4.50; 25 lbs., 
$10.00; 50 lbs., $18.00; 100 lbs., $35.00. 
SHADOLAWN Mixture is made up of 65% of 
two shade tolerant grasses; Poa trivialis and New 
Zealand Chewings Fescue, one base grass, Kentucky 
Blue Grass which is also quite shade tolerant, and two 
nurse grasses. Domestic Rye Grass and Red Top. 
On fairly rich, well fed soils, alkaline in reaction 
this mixture will produce a turf that is heavy, lux¬ 
uriant and lasting. If the soil is sour, neglected and 
underfed, do not expect this or any other shady mix¬ 
ture to thrive for long. 10 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $12.50 ; 
50 lbs., $23.00; 100 lbs., $45.00. 
GRADE "A" SHADY Formula consists of three 
grasses, two of which form 75% of the mixture and 
which are recognized as being the most shade toler¬ 
ant grasses now used for turf. For best results, the 
soil must be of good quality and fairly alkaline and 
the soil must be fertilized about four times as often 
as on open or sunny areas as the trees absorb most of 
the plant food. This mixture blends well with Turf¬ 
maker. 10 lbs., $6.30; 25 lbs., $15.00 ; 50 lbs., $28.00 ; 
100 lbs., $55.00.
