LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
MIXTURES 
0 & M Forest City 
Contains the proper grasses propor¬ 
tionately blended to make a good, 
quick growing lawn and at the same 
time insuring a lasting quality. 
We do not believe you can find a 
better mixture at such a reasonable 
price. A trial order will convince the 
most critical trade. 
O & M Superior 
A higher priced mixture than Forest 
City, but worth it. This mixture con¬ 
tains 5% Bent Grass together with 
other valuable Domestic and Import¬ 
ed grasses. 
Superior mixture contains only high 
grade well cleaned grasses and has 
a high percentage of purity. 
O & M Shadee 
This is a carefully selected and pro¬ 
portioned mixture of grasses that 
will grow in the shade of trees, in 
area-ways, between buildings and in 
other places that get little or no sun¬ 
shine and where ordinary varieties 
of grasses will not thrive. 
Shadee mixture also contains 5% 
Bent Grass, with a good percentage 
of Fescue and Poa Trivialis, grasses 
especially adapted to shaded areas.

Things to Remember 
If a Beautiful Lawn Is Desired 
1. Buy grass seed of a reputable 
seed firm. They have made a study 
of grass seed, and will sell you only 
grass seed suitable for your needs. 
Quality seed is expensive, but poor 
seed is too expensive at any price. 
The cheap seed contains large quanti¬ 
ties of noxious weeds, chaff and inert 
material, and will not give satisfactory 
results. 
2. When sprinkling your lawn, re¬ 
member that a thorough soaking once 
a week is better than a light sprinkling 
daily. The light sprinkling causes the 
fine grass roots to grow up to the sur¬ 
face, and thus they are exposed to the 
cruel, hot sun. 
3. Moss in a lawn is an indication 
of a poor soil, and not an indication 
- 11 - 
of a sour soil. The best remedy is a 
liberal fertilization, particularly with 
ammonium sulphate. Do not add lime 
to your soil. 
4. Weeds and wild grasses will not 
bother so much if there is a good soil, 
properly fertilized and heavily seeded. 
5. Do not mow grass too short, es¬ 
pecially during the hot summer months. 
It is better not to remove the cut 
grass from the lawn in the summer, 
as it will act as a mulch to hold the 
moisture in the soil and to protect the 
tender roots of the grass plant. 
6. The O & M Seed Co. carries 
large stocks of high quality grass seed 
suitable for your needs. Reliable in¬ 
formation can be secured from them 
relative to your problems. The infor¬ 
mation is free for the asking.
