Harris* Lawn Grass Seed 
Everyone wants a beautiful lawn, it is not only a most satisfactory thing in itself, but it is a real necessity if you 
want your house and garden to look its best. A beautiful lawn sets off your flowers and enhances the beauty of your 
garden as nothing else will. It is not difficult to have a beautiful lawn but it does require a little preparation and care. 
The first and one of the most important things to do is to use good seed. Harris’ Lawn Grass Mixtures are carefully 
blended of the finest quality grass seeds, each mixture being made up from tested formulas and contains only of those 
grasses best suited to the purpose for which the mixture is intended. 
You want your lawn to last for a number of years—sow only the best seed. If you want really good seed we have it, 
but if you want ordinary “Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner grocery. We do not “load” our grass seed 
mixtures with poor, cheap seed. 
Harris* Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture 
We can confidently state that no better grass seed 
can be purchased. 
Harris' Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture is composed of the pure seeds of 
those fine leaved and deep rooted grasses which we have found by long 
experience to be the most desirable and best suited for lawns. They 
are the finest seed of these varieties which can be obtained and are all 
tested for purity and germination before being mixed together. None 
are used which do not come up to the highest standard of excellence. 
These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought well 
and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years. 
Our seed is so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 
30 lbs. instead of 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn grass seed. 
The best results are often obtained by sowing the seed quite thick— 
1 lb. or quart on 300 square feet, but if the seed bed has been well pre¬ 
pared sowing one pound on 400 to 500 square feet will make an excellent 
lawn although not quite as quickly.

Note—Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture contains White 
Dutch Clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn, as the 
roots penetrate deep into the soil to get water to keep the lawn 
green during very hot weather. We can furnish the seed without 
White Clover, if desired, at the same price. Ask for Harris’ Super¬ 
fine Lawn Grass Seed without clover. 
Special Formula Mixtures 
We will be pleased to supply our grass seeds mixed according to your own 
formula for your particular conditions. As in our regular mixtures we use 
only the best grass seed obtainable. Send us your specifications and we 
will be glad to quote you promptly. 
Harris* English Blend 
This blend of fine grasses contains Bent grass and also a proper propor¬ 
tion of Kent Wild White Clover and is designed to make a lawn of thick 
velvety turf which will remain green and attractive throughout the dry 
summer months. This blend will thrive on close cutting and is especially 
fine for large expanses of lawn which ordinarily do not get as much care 
in watering and fertilizing as is usually given smaller plots. We have in¬ 
cluded Wild White Clover which is so often found in the finest English 
lawns, because of its aggressive habit and ability to blend with the com¬ 
panion grasses, actually aiding their growth on account of the large amount 
of nitrogen it puts in the soil. Do not sow too thick. Use 1 lb. to 500 or 
600 square feet on new seeding. 
English Blend. 1 Lb. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $4.75; 10 Lbs. $9.00. Trans¬ 
portation paid. 
Terrace Mixture 
This mixture for terraces and slopes is composed of fine leaved grasses 
which have strong tenacious spreading root systems that will hold on 
slopes and terraces without washing out. Also does well on shallow soil. 
Will produce fine velvety turf that remains green throughout the season. 
In preparing the ground it is well to mix humus and fertilizer with the 
soil before sowing the seed. Sow 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. of surface. 
Terrace Mixture. 1 Lb. 75c; 5 Lbs. $3.50; 10 Lbs. $6.50. Trans¬ 
portation paid. 
Home Greens Mixture 
A Bent Grass Mixture—Specially Blended for Fine Lawns 
With this mixture and a little extra care you can have a putting green on 
your own lawn, equal to the best golf greens. 
This is the mixture for the person who wants a very fine leaved velvety 
lawn and is willing to take the time and trouble to get it. Our Home Greens 
Mixture is comprised entirely of seed of the Agrostis species; that is, the 
best Bent grass varieties together with the finest recleaned Red Top. 
These varieties require more plant food than ordinary grass to do their 
best and should therefore be sowed on fairly rich soil or ground enriched 
by the regular application of a good fertilizer. Keep the grass cut short 
and roll regularly. Fertilize lightly (2 lb. per 100 sq. ft.) two or three times 
during the season and water copiously. Sow about 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft 
Home Greens Mixture. 1 Lb. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $4.50; 10 Lbs. $8.50.
