We specialize in high-grade lawn grass seed. During the past few years we have supplied lawn seed for 
some of the largest institutions in the state. Whether it is a small lawn or a large one, we can supply 
the seed and we will be glad to quote you either on mixtures or separate grasses. Many of the lawn grass 
mixtures on the market contain rye grass seeds. We consider rye grass too coarse and too rapid of growth 
to be included in mixtures and therefore do not use them in our mixtures. In estimating the ground to 
be planted figure on one pound to 300 square feet of surface. 
GILBRO SPECIAL—This super mixture is com¬ 
posed of the finest bladed grasses and are selected 
on account of their great endurance. It will make

ance. All varieties in this mixture are acid-loving 
grasses, thus they respond rapidly with acid fer¬ 
tilizers which in turn reduces the weed menace. We 
have many reports from our customers, who are 
highly pleased with this mixture. It is adapted to 
shade or sun. We offer it either with or without 
white clover. Please specify when ordering. This
