GRASS MIXTURE

available have asked us to furnish them with a mixture 
of grasses that would produce a satisfactory green lawn. 
After years of experimenting we are able to offer such a

504—SPECIAL "BENT FORMULA" 
It Makes Every Lawn Like a Putting Green 
A combination of the finest recleaned Grasses, using as 
a basis for this mixture the imported and domestic Bent 
Grasses which are so largely used in the finer Putting 
Greens of today. 
A lawn seeded with this mixture and properly cared for 
will in truth make every lawn a Putting Green. On a lawn 
of this type, Clock Golf and other lawn games may be en- 
joyably played. 
It is imperative in maintaining a lawn of this type, that 
the grass should be kept cut short and well rolled all 
through the season. Starvation of the grass plants is the 
most frequent cause of unsatisfactory lawns, and grass 
needs constant small applications of fertilizer and plenty 
of water to maintain a perfect lawn. 
We advise seeding at the rate of one pound to cover a 
space of 10x20 or 200 square feet. 
Price: % lb., 50c; lb., 95c; 5 lbs., $4.50; 10 lbs., $8.50; 
25 lbs., $20.00.
