LAWN GRASS 
Under the law, a certified analysis on all lawn grass seed must be furnished 
to customers. Then the buyers know just what is in it. When you buy grass seed 
from us, you get this analysis and also germination test. You can see just what 
is in our Shady Nook and Chicago Parks Mixture which we consider the best possi¬ 
ble seed blends of their kinds. Most cheap grass mixtures consist chiefly of timothy 
and rye grass. These quick growing grasses make a quick green growth but do not 
produce a permanent lawn. 
CHICAGO PARKS MIXTURE —A blend of 
lawn grass seeds which is positively the highest 
grade mixture that can be prepared. Composed 
of seed of the finest English and American 
grasses with white clover so that with even or¬ 
dinary care it cannot fail to make a beautiful 
lawn. One pound will cover about 300 square 
feet of soil. The ground should be thoroughly 
pulverized and raked until it is fine and the 
surface level. If the soil is not naturally rich, 
it should be fertilized by sowing ten to fifteen 
pounds of fine sheep manure to each 200 square 
feet. After sowing the seed, rake or brush the 
seed in and finish with a roller. For quickly 
producing a permanent and velvety sward, this 
lawn seed cannot be excelled. Seed in bulk, 
lb., 25c; 1 lb., 45c. Seed in 15 oz. sifter top 
cans, 45c each. 
SHADY NOOK LAWN GRASS —Usually it is 
quite difficult to obtain a good growth of grass 
under trees and in shady places. For sowing in 
such places this blend of lawn grass seed is 
recommended. It will quickly produce an abun¬ 
dant and even growth of beautiful grass. V 2 
lb., 30c; 1 lb., 55c. 
SPECIAL LAWN MIXTURE —This is all high 
grade lawn seed but does not contain some more 
expensive varieties that are used in the Chicago 
Parks blend of lawn grass seed. Pound carton, 
35c; 2 pounds 65c. 
BENT- —Will grow a thick turf on any acid 
soil unless it is very sandy or shady. The 
Bents are low growing, dark green in color, long 
lived and very hardy. Ideal for lawn, fairway 
or putting greens. Per lb., $1.50. 
BLUE GRASS —The one best grass for northern 
Missouri. Nothing finer than a well seeded and 
closely clipped blue grass lawn. A fine grass 
to use on fairly rich, well drained soil. We offer 
two grades. 
Fancy, heavy, plump seed—Per lb., 35c; 3 lb., 
for 99c. 
Fine seed but not so heavy as the fancy grade; 
Per lb., 27c; 3 lb., 75c. 
WHITE CLOVER —Low growing with white 
blossoms on short stems. . Always volunteers in 
alkaline soils and bas as its single excuse for 
being in a lawn the fact that it is ‘‘green in 
dry weather’’. Per lb., 60c.
