The LAWN —Qreen Carpet of 
You can have a beautiful lawn with 
Ross’ High Quality Lawn Grass Seed 
the Outdoors 
The lawn is the green carpet of the “outdoor living room” and the entire appearance of the planting is either 
made or spoiled by its appearance. It is the basis and the most important part of the entire planting and should 
be created carefully, and maintained religiously. 
Use Quality 
There are only a very few kinds of grasses suitable 
for lawns. Seeds of these fine kinds are much more ex- 
pensive than the seeds of other less desirable grasses, 
most of which make good hay, but do not make good 
lawns. The cheap seeds will often grow and cover the 
ground with green, but eventually the lawn will de- 
teriorate and have to be remade, which is a very ex- 
pensive and troublesome thing to do. 
The Best Results are obtained by sowing the seed 
quite thickly, one pound or quart to 200 or 300 square

feet, but sowing one pound on 400 to 500 square feet 
will make an excellent lawn although not quite as 
quickly. 
To Renew Old Lawns, rake thoroughly, stirring the 
ground as much as possible without killing the grass. 
All moss and weeds should be removed as far as pos- 
sible. Sow half as much grass seed as recommended 
for seeding a new lawn. After seeding, the lawn should 
be rolled. 
Worcester Lawn Seed 
The Worcester Lawn Seed is our own mixture made from a formula which has been given a great deal of 
careful study and we are positive that no better general purpose lawn seed can be made. If this is used the lawn 
will be ready for the first cutting in about five weeks and with reasonable care an excellent lawn can be main- 
tained for years. We advise using 140 to 160 pounds per acre. Price, lb., 50c; 2 lbs., $1.00; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., 
$4.25; 100 lbs., $40.00. 
Cemetery Mixture 
The location of many of the cemeteries, with which 
we are familiar, have been selected due particularly to 
the fact that the soil is well drained and quite often we 
find a sand or gravel top soil. 
This mixture is intended for such places, as we have 
selected the varieties of grasses which are best adapted 
to such soils. Price, lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00; 10 lbs., $3.75; 
100 lbs., $35.00. 
Bank and Terrace Mixture 
We have had so many calls for a mixture of grass 
seed to be used on a bank or terrace, that last year, for 
the first time, we offered a mixture for this purpose. 
It is mixed from grasses which naturally grow a strong, 
creeping root and are very valuable in holding the soil 
in place, preventing serious washouts during heavy 
rains. The seed starts quickly. Price, lb., 65c; 2 lbs., 
$1.30; 5 lbs., $3.00; 10 lbs., $5.75; 100 lbs., $50.00.
