Harris' Lawn Grass Seed 
A beautiful lawn, it is not only a most satisfactory thing 
in itself, but a necessity if you would have your house and 
garden look its best. It sets off your flowers and enhances 
the beauty of your garden as nothing else will. It is not 
difficult to have a beautiful lawn but it does require a little 
thought and care. One of the most important things is to 
use good seed. Harris’ Lawn Grass Mixtures are carefully 
blended of the finest quality grass seeds—each mixture 
being made up of those grasses best suited for the purpose 
for which the mixture is intended. 
In spite of the general shortage of certain grass seeds we 
will continue to sell only the highest quality grass seed that 
it is possible to obtain. 
Harris' Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture 
We can confidently state that no better grass seed can be purchased. 
Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture is composed of the pure seeds of 
those fine leaved and deep rooted grasses which we have found by long 
experience to be the most desirable and best suited for lawns. They 
are the finest seed of these varieties which can be obtained and are all 
tested for purity and germination before being mixed together. None 
are used which do not come up to the highest standard of excellence. 
These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought well 
and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years.

Home Greens Mixture 
A Bent Grass Mixture—Have a Putting Green on Your Own Lawn 
With this mixture and a little extra care in watering, cutting and feeding, 
you can have a pulling green on your own lawn, equal in fineness of texture 
and smoothness to the best golf greens. 
This is the mixture for the person who wants a very fine leaved velvety 
lawn and is willing to take the lime and trouble to get it. Our Home 
Greens Mixture is comprised enlirely of seed of the Agrostis species; 
that is, the best Bent grass varieties together with the finest recleaned 
Red Top. These varieties require more plant food than ordinary grass to 
do their best and should therefore be sowed on fairly rich soil or ground 
enriched by the regular application of a good fertilizer such as Vigoro. 
Keep the grass cut short and roll all through the season. Fertilize lightly 
(2 lb. per 100 sq. ft.) two or three times during the season and water 
copiously. This seed should be sown at the rate of about 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. 
Home Greens Mixture. 1 Lb. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $4.50; 10 Lbs. $8.50. 
Special Formula Mixtures 
We are in a position to supply special grass seed mixtures, built to your 
own formula with the best seed obtainable. Send us your specifications and 
we will be glad to quote you promptly. 
You want your lawn to last for a number of years—sow only the best 
seed. If you want really good seed we have it, but if you want ordinary 
“Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner grocery. Our seed is 
so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 30 lbs. instead 
of 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn grass seed. 
The best results are obtained by sowing the seed quite thick—1 lb. 
or quart to 200 to 300 square feet, but sowing one pound on 400 to 500 
square feet will make an excellent lawn although not quite as quickly. 
Note—Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture contains White 
Clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn, as (he roots 
penetrate deep into the soil to get water to keep the lawn green 
during very hot weather. We can furnish the seed without White 
Clover, if desired, at the same price. Ask for Harris’ Superfine 
Lawn Grass Seed without clover. 
Terrace Mixture 
This mixture for terraces and slopes is composed of fine leaved grasses 
which have strong tenacious spreading root systems that will hold on 
slopes and terraces without washing out. It will also do well on shallow 
soil. This mixture will produce fine velvety turf that remains green through¬ 
out the season. 
In preparing the ground it is well to mix humus and fertilizer with the 
soil before sowing the seed. Peat Moss and Vigoro described on the next 
page are excellent for this purpose. Sow the seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 
150 to 200 sq. ft. of surface. 
Terrace Mixture. 1 Lb. 80c; 5 Lbs. $3.25; 10 Lbs. $6.50. 
Lake Shore Mixture 
This mixture is primarily intended for sowing on the light sandy soils 
that one usually finds at our lake shores, and is composed of sturdy deep 
rooted and quick growing grasses that can be sown early in the spring and 
make a good green turf that will last thruout the summer season and longer. 
For best results sandy soil should also be built up with humus and fer¬ 
tilizer or if possible a good top dressing of rich soil worked into the top three 
or four inches. 
Sow the seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. of surface. 
Lake Shore Mixture. 1 Lb. 85c; 5 Lbs. $3.75; 10 Lbs. $7.00.
