FORD’S FANCY LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
MADE FROM HIGH GRADES OF SEEDS ONLY 
This is our popular and reliable mixture for producing a thick, permanent green turf. None but 
high grades of seed are put into it. 
The grasses which go to make up this mixture are selected with the idea of making a quick and 
at the same time a permanent tough sod. Our sales of this seed have been enormous and our cus¬ 
tomers have been universally satisfied with it. 
To make a good lawn the soil should be made comparatively rich and raked till it is perfectly 
smooth. Sow the seed at the rate of one pound to 300 square feet, using a lawn roller after sowing 
the seed. For fertilizing Pulverized Sheep Manure, Vigoro and Sulphate of Ammonia are suitable. 
These you will find quoted elsewhere in this catalog. 
The best times to sow lawn grass seed are from March 1 to June 1 and Sept. 1 to October 15.
