The best in seeds and care is essential to have a fine lawn. Forbes quality, 
known the country over, has set a high lawn standard, and Forbes service is at 
your disposal. Our free booklet, “Lawns of Lasting Beauty,” may help you. 
Many grades of lawn grass seeds of varying qualities are offered for sale. 
Many of these contain seeds of worthless character, chaff, and weed seeds. Often 
a single variety or a blend of two grasses is sold as lawn seed. 
The best lawn is produced from a mixture of several natural grasses. To 
be of greatest lawn value, these grasses must be properly proportioned in the 
mixture so that there is enough of each to serve its specific purpose in the lawn. 
The mixtures we offer on this and the following pages, are made up from 
special formulae. These are the result of years of experiment and of practical 
tests. Each mixture will produce a turf ideally suited to each purpose.
