LEE ADAMS SEED CO. 
KANSAS CITY ,; MO. 
A Fine Lawn on a Southern Missouri Estate, Grown from Our Bermuda Grass Seed. 
Bermuda Grass 
Will grow on almost any soil. One of the finest 
grasses to sow for summer lawns, especially in the 
South. In order to have best success in the growing 
of Bermuda Grass the seed should be planted in the 
spring or late summer when the weather is warm 
and moist. When sowed before a wet spell the seed 
will come up within a very short time after a rain. 
Have the ground well prepared and sow the seed at 
the rate of from 5 to 10 pounds to 1000 square feet. 
In the fall Red Top or Rye Grass can be sown on the 
Bermuda Grass and in this way will produce green 
grass all through the winter except where the climate 
is extremely cold. We do not recommend Bermuda 
Grass for use north of the central parts of Missouri 
and Kansas. 1 lb., 40c; 5 lbs. @ 35c per lb. 
Red Top 
Red Top is a fine grass for the lawn. It is a peren¬ 
nial with the creeping habit of growth, which makes 
a coarse, loose turf. The leaves are about one-fourth 
inch wide with slender stems. The grass thrives best 
in low, moist soil and will stand all kinds of wet 
weather or considerable drought in such soil. Best 
results are obtained if it is sown in September, Oc¬ 
tober or November at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per 
1000 square feet of lawn. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs. @ 20c lb. 
Coos County Seaside Bent 
A strictly creeping grass. Ideal for putting greens. 
Popular for several years past on the Pacific Coast 
and now coming into general use in the eastern and 
central states. Requires the frequent cutting and top 
dressing necessary to all the creeping varieties to 
keep the naturally recumbent plants upright. Will 
thrive with less water than commercial vegetative 
strains. 1 lb., $1.75; 5 lbs. @ $1.70 per lb. 
Rough Stalked Meadow Grass 
(FOA TRIVIAIilS) 
Blue Grass family and especially valuable for 
shady lawns. Creeping plants with narrow, flat leaf 
blades; adapted to all soils, including sandy, in all 
sections where Blue Grass grows. Reaches 12 in. high 
in early summer if left uncut. The best grass of all 
for shady places. Sow 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft of lawn. 
Lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $2.25. Not prepaid. 
Perennial Rye Grass 
This is a very quick growing, short-lived peren¬ 
nial grass. It has a tendency to grow in tufts and 
has tall, broad, flat leaves. While it does not produce 
a lawn of as fine a texture as Blue Grass and Clover, 
it is extremely hardy, requires less fertile soil, with¬ 
stands more hardships, and grows much quicker than 
Blue Grass. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs. @ 23c per lb. 
Domestic Rye Grass 
An annual grass very similar to the Perennial Rye. 
Very valuable for its use in lawn mixtures. 1 lb., 20c; 
5 lbs. @ 16c per lb.
