Burnett’s “Shady Place” Mixture 
When a lawn is much shaded, either in whole or in part, the shaded portions should be 
sown with Burnett’s “Shady Place” Lawn Grass Seed Mixture, which is a combination of fine, 
dwarf-growing evergreen varieties, which, in their wild or natural state, are to be found grow¬ 
ing in the woods or other sheltered or shady places. Under or in the immediate neighborhood 
of large trees fertilizers should be applied liberally and frequently, for the trees absorb the 
fertilizer and impoverish the ground. Ground much shaded is very frequently sour, and if the 
drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss. In such cases an application of lime 
or wood ashes raked in will sweeten the soil, but the moss should be first removed with a sharp 
steel-toothed rake. 
(20 lbs. of Burnett’s “Shady Place Mixture” is approximately one bushel .) 
Burnett’s “Bank and Terrace” Mixture 
On sloping banks it is often necessary to use sod, as heavy rains wash the soil off before 
the grass seed has time to germinate. It is sometimes even necessary, in sodding very steep 
banks, to use pins eight or ten inches in length to pin the sods in place, to prevent them from 
being washed down by excessive rains before the grass roots have had time to fasten in the 
soil. The Terrace mixture which we offer is composed of deep-rooting grasses which, if once 
established, will hold the soil and prevent washing, and we advise liberal fertilizer and seeding 
so that the grasses may be quickly established. 
(20 lbs. of Burnett’s “Bank and Terrace Mixture” is approximately one bushel.)

A specially mixed formula that includes several of the finest bent grasses, together with such 
other fine leaved grasses required to obtain that “Putting Green” effect that is becoming more 
popular each year and yet able to withstand the hard usage to which most lawns are subject.
