Turf for Sports 
Early spring, autumn, or just prior to winter are favorable periods for repairing and improving the turf of a racetrack 
For Lawn Tennis 
West Side Tennis Formula. The turf required for this sport must 
be firm and yet elastic, fine and composed of grasses which may 
be mown closely. Also, it must be one which will stand up well 
under the frequent rolling and localized wear of lawn tennis. Sow 
15 pounds per 2,000 square feet when building new courts; allow 
one-half this quantity for renovating. Lb. 80 cts., 5 lbs. $3.75, 
25 lbs. $17.50, 100 lbs. $65. 
For Polo 
Hurlingham Formula. The mixture used successfully on the well- 
known English field. Only the toughest, deepest-rooting varieties 
of grass will survive the pounding and tearing of polo ponies. 
Maximum depth of root may be obtained, too, by incorporating 
Sawconure or rotted stable manure with the upper 5 inches of top¬ 
soil when building a field; also by almost daily mowing, but with the 
cutters set as high as the play will permit—in other words, mow the 
grass very frequently, but as “long” as possible. Use 200 pounds 
of this seed per acre for new fields. 5 lbs. $3.50, 25 lbs. $16, 
100 lbs. $60. 
Allow at least one-half the above quantities when renovating.

Grass Seeds used and advisory recommendations made for Bowl as well as

For Racetracks 
Racetrack Formula. A mixture of desirable varieties of high 
germination. Grows well from early spring, through summer and 
autumn to winter. Produces a turf which is tough, thick, dark 
green and vigorous. Use 100 lbs. per acre for new tracks. 100 lbs. 
$35, 1,000 lbs. $325. 
For Aviation 
Airport Formula, Superfine Quality. A special combination of 
deep-rooting and spreading grasses that will produce a strong, 
densely matted turf. It gives a sward of a deep green color. Use 
100 lbs. per acre. 100 lbs. $45, 1,000 lbs. $425. 
Airport Formula, Fine Quality. Gives a tough, wear-resistant 
turf, of a gray-green color. Sow at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre for a 
new field. 100 lbs. $35, 1,000 lbs. $325. 
For Football 
Touchdown Football Formula. Consists of the most suitable 
varieties of grasses properly proportioned. We vary the formula to 
suit your soil. Sow 10 pounds per 2,000 square feet when building 
new fields; allow one-half this quantity for renovating. 5 lbs. 
$3.50, 25 lbs. $16, 100 lbs. $60.
