Barr’s Special Grass Seed Mixtures 
As the lawn furnishes the setting for the house, from the humblest cottage to the largest mansion, its importance 
is universally recognized. A nice velvety lawn, neat and well kept, is the envy of all. In fact 
it is the sign of a family that is thrifty and home loving. 
Barr’s Special “Sunnyside” Grass Seed 
This is a combination of the most desirable grasses; fine leaved, good color, 
lasting qualities. As the chief ingredient of a good lawn is Kentucky Blue Grass 
there is a large proportion of this ideal grass in this mixture. No Timothy nor 
coarse-bladed grasses are used to cheapen this mixture. It will germinate quickly 
and provide a permanent lawn as there is no annual seed—that which lives only 
one year. Besides the Kentucky Blue Grass the other varieties included are 
fine-leaved perennial grasses that add value and merit. 
The use of Barr’s Special “Sunnvside” Grass Seed will be a real saving as 
considerable work and expense are incurred in lawn making and all may be 
wasted if a cheap, poor seed is used. With grass seed especially it pays to get 
the best obtainable. 
Barr’s “Green Mantle” Grass Seed 
This is a splendid mixture of good grasses for average conditions of soil and 
sunshine. It also has a goodly proportion of Kentucky Blue Grass and some 
White Glover, but no Ryegrass. Will quickly give the lawn an enduring velvety, 
deep green mantle, with freedom from weeds, as it is very free from weed seeds. 
One quart of grass seed will sow 100 sq. ft. of lawn; after seeding keep the ground 
continually moist for at least three weeks. Avoid light sprinklings when watering. 
Barr’s “Shady Side” Grass Seed 
Composed of shade loving, permanent varieties of fine-leaved grasses—no 
Timothy nor Ryegrass. Includes some of the scarcer and more expensive varieties 
of grasses, including Poa trivialis, which have proven best adapted for situations 
of a difficult nature due to shade. It is important to feed lawns under trees 
heavily three times a year—Spring, early Summer and Fall, so both the grass 
and trees will have plenty to feed on and thrive. Failure under trees is due more 
to competition of tree roots rather than shade, and plenty of feed will give both 
grass and trees a chance to exist.
