Ross for Lawn Seed\ Bank andTerrace Mixtures 
The making of a lawn is not a matter of chance. Good 
seed, proper fertilizer, the right soil condition—all are 
vital factors. 
If you are contemplating making a new lawn, or 
restoring an old one, let us help you with your problem. 
Use Quality 
There are only a very few kinds of grasses suitable for 
lawns. Seeds of these fine kinds are much more expensive 
than the seeds of other less desirable grasses, most of 
which make good hay, but do not make good lawns. The 
cheap seeds will often grow and cover the ground with 
green, but eventually the lawn will deteriorate and have 
to be remade, which is a very expensive and troublesome 
thing to do. 
The Best Results are obtained by sowing the seed quite

thickly, one pound or quart to 200 or 300 square feet, 
but sowing one pound on 400 to 500 square feet will 
make an excellent lawn although not quite as quickly. 
To Renew Old Lawns, rake thoroughly, stirring the 
ground as much as possible without killing the grass. All 
moss and weeds should be removed as far as possible. 
Sow half as much grass seed as recommended for seeding 
a new lawn. After seeding, the lawn should be rolled. 
Worcester Lawn Seed 
The Worcester Lawn Seed is our own mixture made 
from a formula which has been given a great deal of 
careful study and we are positive that no better general 
purpose lawn seed can be made. If this is used the lawn 
will be ready for the first cutting in about five weeks and 
with reasonable care an excellent lawn can be maintained 
for years. We advise using 1 40 to 1 60 pounds per acre. 
Price, lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 90c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. $3.75;

a sand or gravel top soil.

selected the varieties of grasses which are best adapted 
to such soils. Price, lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.75; 10 lbs. $3.25; 
100 lbs. $30.00. 
Bank and Terrace Mixture 
We have had so many calls for a mixture of grass seed 
to be used on a bank or terrace, that last year, for the 
first time, we offered a mixture for this purpose. It is 
mixed from grasses which naturally grow a strong, creep¬ 
ing root and are very valuable in holding the soil in place, 
preventing serious washouts during heavy rains. The seed 
starts quickly. Price, lb. 60c; 2 lbs. $1.20; 5 lbs. $2.75; 
10 lbs. $5.25; 100 lbs. $45.00.
