For seeding new lawns or replenishing 
old ones, use this most popular mixture 
The “Forbes” Lawn Grass Seed 
This is a rapid-growing combination of grasses and produces in from four 
to six weeks, a permanent lawn capable of withstanding heavy wear. It contains 
seeds of six dwarf evergreen and perennial grasses of fine lawn texture. Definite 
proportions of these are mixed very thoroughly. The resultant lawn has a fine, 
even, rich green appearance and a permanency not usually found. 
This mixture is known the country over for its high quality. It is higher 
priced than ordinary store mixtures but is cheapest in the long run. It contains 
only heavy, recleaned, live seeds, free from worthless chaff, timothy and weed 
seeds. It is backed by our national reputation for fair dealing and finest quality. 
We do not use any White Clover seed in this lawn mixture. 
Prices: V 2 lb* 30 cts.; lb. 50 cts.; 2 lbs. 95 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.20; 10 lbs. $4.20; 25 lbs. $10.25; 
100 lbs. $40, all delivered. Complete directions with every package. 
For quickest results sow one pound to every 100 sq. ft. (10 x 10 ft.) of new ground, 
or 400 lbs. to the acre. One pound to 200 sq. ft. or 200 lbs. per acre will give good 
results but will take longer. 
Golf Putting-Green Mixture 
Greenkeepers know that a seed mixture of several grasses gives a quicker, more 
uniform stand than a seeding of but one variety of grass. Turf from a mixture is far more 
enduring and is not affected as much by brown patch and other fungous diseases. The 
feeding roots from mixed grasses are at various depths in the soil, commanding more 
moisture during dry seasons and having better average drainage in wet seasons. 
The finest imported and domestic grass seeds of varieties best suited to putting-greens 
are used in this blend. The resultant turf is very fine and close, yet durable. Use 1 lb. 
per 100 sq. ft. for seeding new greens and half that for renovating old ones. Lb. 85 cts.; 
5 lbs. $4; 10 lbs. $7.50; 25 lbs. $17.50; 100 lbs. $65. 
When comparing prices look on the package for the percentage analysis required by 
State Law. You’ll find that you get your money’s worth if you buy the “Forbes” Lawn 
Seed. We make our mixtures from clean, live seeds.
