HART’S LAWN GRASS SEED 
Fine lawns are made from a careful blend of various grasses, each one calculated to fill 
some particular need. No single variety of grass alone will make a desirable, durable turf. One 
sort is at its best during the summer, another in the fall; one grows best in sandy soil, another 
in sweet soil. To meet every condition and every contingency is the purpose of our blending. 
We have blended and tried various grass formulae for years, adding a little here and sub¬ 
tracting a little there until we have perfected blends, which, we feel are as nearly perfect as 
they can be made. Hundreds of landscape architects can testify to the high quality and purity 
and the general all around merit of our Lawn Grass Seed. 
Hart’s Elm Tree Mixture — There is no need 
for us to tell our old customers how good this 
mixture is. Thousands of fine lawns throughout 
New England testify to that. If your lawn is shabby 
or worn this is the time to renew it. Kentucky 
Blue Grass, Fancy Red Top and Chewings Fescue 
make up the bulk of this mixture to which is added 
White Clover and Creeping Bent in the proper 
proportion. We know of no mixture at a similar 
price containing all of these expensive grasses. 
Hart’s Standish Park Mixture — This contains 
a much larger proportion of the fine bladed, long- 
lived grasses including Creeping Bent and does not 
contain Clover. It takes somewhat longer to establish 
itself than the Elm Tree Mixture but once estab¬ 
lished is remarkably beautiful and endurable. 
Hart’s Evergreen Mixture — An economical 
blend where quick results are desired, although it 
contains a higher percentage of the more reasonably 
priced grasses which are not so endurable. 
Hart’s Shadow Mixture — A blend for par¬ 
tially shaded spots which will do excellently. This 
mixture contains a good proportion of Rough 
Stalked Meadow Grass but does not contain 
White Clover or Orchard Grass. 
Hart’s Shady Place Mixture — A mixture 
calculated to overcome complete shade. Try it 
in that spot where you have been unable to make 
grass grow. You will be surprised at the results. 
It is composed only of the finest grasses and does 
not contain Clover or Orchard Grass. 
Hart’s Special Bent Formula — For the 
Putting Green or the Lawn — A lawn seeded with 
this splendid mixture and properly cared for will 
in all respects resemble the putting green of a golf 
course. It is absolutely essential, however, to keep 
the grass closely cut and well rolled and to feed it 
regularly and thoroughly with fertilizer and water. 
The basis of the mixture is the finest of imported 
and domestic Bent Grasses. This mixture does not 
contain White Clover. 
We will be pleased to quote on any special 
mixtures you require or to advise on any par¬ 
ticular problems in regard to your lawn. We 
also do considerable business in mixtures for: 
Airports Athletic Fields 
Polo Fields Terraces 
Golf Fairways Seaside Plots 
Putting Greens Cemeteries 
and will be very glad to make prices at your request. 
SEPARATE GRASSES 
White Clover — Valuable for its dark green 
foliage and compact growth. During periods of

color and withstands heavy trampling. 1 Lb. 
55**; 10 lbs. 50*£ per lb. 
Chewings Fescue (New Zealand Grown) — 
Thrives in dry sandy locations and withstands 
drought. It is fine bladed and creeping and is 
often used for putting greens on seaside Golf 
courses. 1 Lb. 75j£; 10 lbs. 70j£ per lb. 
Kentucky Blue Grass — The most desirable 
grass for lawn purposes. It is slightly creeping 
in habit and grows most extensively in the early 
summer. It forms a solid turf and makes a 
permanent, long-lived lawn. 1 Lb. 35*5; 10 lbs. 
34*5 per lb.

roots which hold well on terraces, embankments, 
etc. 1 Lb. 35*5; 10 lbs. 30*5 per lb.
