A Fine Lawn From Our “Mile High" Lawn Grass Seed. 
“Mile High*’ Lawn Crass Seed 
Contains the most beautiful grasses, a percentage of White Dutch Clover, and hardy grasses to protect 
the more tender grasses while they are becoming established. "Mile High” Lawn Grass Seed is a care¬ 
fully blended mixture, made from an exact formula, and backed by years of experimenting with both do¬ 
mestic and foreign grasses. It will form a thick, velvety turf with only a fair amount of care. A mixture 
of 90 per cent Kentucky Blue Grass and 10 per cent White Dutch Clover makes a very beautiful lawn, but 
requires a great deal of care to establish. For golf courses, public parks, school grounds, cemeteries, or 
difficult soil conditions, we will gladly make up special mixtures. Just tell us where you wish to plant 
and we will send the proper mixture of grasses. Or write us and our field seed specialist, Mr. Dessert, 
will be glad to write you fully. 
TO MAKE A LAWN: If the soil is naturally rich 
merely spade and rake it as fine as possible. If the 
soil is poor a good dressing of manure or fertilizer 
should be spaded in first. For all ordinary condi¬ 
tions use "Mile High” Mixture Lawn Seed. Sow the 
seed at least one pound to every 300 square feet 
(10x30 feet). Thicker sowing will give a thick, vel¬ 
vet-like turf much quicker. If the weather is hot, 
or the soil liable to cake, cover with straw or 
branches until the grass is well established.

Kentucky Blue Grass. The most desirable grass for 
lawns, and included in all good lawn grass mix¬ 
tures. Our “Mile High” Lawn Grass contains a 
heavy percentage of Kentucky Blue Grass. Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass forms a thick sod of a beautiful 
dark green color. Very few people sow Blue Grass 
thick enough; for lawns it should be sown one 
pound for every 150 square feet, or for every 
plot 10 by 15 feet. A good pasture grass, starting 
to grow early in the Spring and continuing until 
the ground freezes. Does best on moist, rich land.

cellent color and adapts itself readily to any soils,

Pasture Mixtures 
There are many advantages in planting a mixture 
of grasses for a pasture. These grasses can be 
combined to give early, mid-season and late Fall 
pasturage. Some grasses are shallow rooted and 
some are deep rooted. Some grasses are suited to 
irrigated soils, some to dry lands, and some to the 
very high altitudes. Various combinations are used 
under these different conditions, in each case to fur¬ 
nish the longest period of abundant pasture growth. 
If you are at all in doubt as to the best mixture 
to sow, write us, giving full particulars: 
Your altitude? 
Irrigated or not? 
Time of usual rains? 
Kind of soil? 
Drainage, good or poor? 
For Hay, Meadow or Pasture? 
If for pasture, what kind of stock? 
Is pasture wanted all Summer, or at a particular 
time of year? 
Our Field Seed expert will be glad to write you 
fully on grasses suited to your needs.

Morton’s Special Mixture 
For irrigated lands there is no better mixture of 
grasses. Prof. Morton of the Colorado Agricultural 
College spent 10 years experimenting to formulate 
this mixture. This mixture will carry more head 
of stock per acre than any grass or other mixture 
of grasses. Morton’s Special Mixture will pasture 
15 to 20 cows jDer acre, 4% hours per day. Four to 
five days a month are required for watering. 
100 lbs. of Morton’s Mixture contains: 
30 lbs. of Orchard Grass. 
30 lbs. of Brome Grass. 
20 lbs. of Meadow Fescue. 
12 lbs. of Timothy. 
8 lbs. of Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. 
We recommend this mixture in these exact pro¬ 
portions. Some of our customers object to the Sweet 
Clover in the mixture. The Sweet Clover adds pro¬ 
tein to the mixture and there is not enough to harm 
any kind of stock, but for those who do not want 
the Sweet Clover we also make up the mixture with¬ 
out Sweet Clover. 
Morton Mixture should be sown 30 to 40 lbs. to 
the acre.

Alsike and Timothy Mixture 
A preferred mixture, especially where there is 
plenty of rainfall. Does well on most any land, but 
gives' best results on moist lands. Alsike and Tim¬ 
othy make an excellent combination for hay and 
pasture; they are adapted to the same kind of soil 
and mature together. They are readily eaten by all 
stock. Both are very hardy, do not winter-kill, and 
when once established will live for years. Alsike 
and Timothy is the cheapest Clover and Grass Seed 
Mixture. The seed has been grown mixed and sells 
for less money than the two varieties separate.
