Bent Grass Mixture 
To meet the demand for a superior grass seed mixture, we 
have combined in this formula the seeds of grasses that not only 
produce the finest leaf-blades, but varieties that creep, mat 
together and make a soft, luxuriant, evergreen turf the entire 
season. When preparing the soil for this Grass Seed Mixture, we 
recommend the use of Bonemeal (100 pounds to every 500 square 
feet) well worked into the soil before the seed is sown. After the 
grass is up apply Sulphate of Ammonia (1 pound dissolved in 10 
gallons of water to every 100 square feet). Sow seed at the rate 
of 1 pound to every 250 square feet. V 2 lb. 40c; lb. 75c; 3 lbs. 
$2.25; 5 lbs. $3.50; 10 lbs. $6.75; 25 lbs. $16.25; 100 lbs. $60.
