LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
Commercial lawn grass mixtures are many and their composition usually varies to meet the price demands 
of the purchaser. The WELL BALANCED MIXTURES listed below contain a generous proportion of at 
least one base or permanent grass and are not overloaded with quick growing, short lived varieties that are 
gratifying to the eye for a short time after seeding but which later die out, leaving a worn out, weedy sod. 
A view of our Proving Grounds for Turf Grasses 
TURFMAKER Mixture is composed of Colonial Bent, 
Kentucky Blue Grass, Red Top, Rough Stalked 
Meadow Grass. WOODCO Brand seeds are used 
throughout so that it is clean and the weed content 
is less than one-half of one per cent. 10 lbs., $6.00; 
25 lbs., $13.25; 50 lbs., $27.50; 100 lbs., $50.00. 
MILFORD GREEN Lawn Mixture consists of Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass, New Zealand Chewings Fescue, 
Red Top, Domestic Rye Grass and White Clover. 
This is our fastest selling mixture and is meeting 
with wide approval where good clean seed is re¬ 
quired on general soils and where expenditure cur¬ 
tailment prevents buying Turfmaker. 10 lbs., $5.00; 
25 lbs, $12.00; 50 lbs, $22.50; 100 lbs, $40.00. 
GRADE "A" SHADY Mixture consists of three 
grasses, two of which form 75% of the mixture and 
which are recognized as being the most shade toler¬ 
ant grasses now used for turf. For best results, the 
soil must be of good quality and fairly alkaline and 
the soil must be fertilized about four times as often 
as on open or sunny areas. This mixture blends well 
with Turfmaker. 10 lbs, $7.50; 25 lbs, $18.00; 50 
lbs, $35.00; 100 lbs, $65.00. 
SHADOLAWN Mixture is made up of 65% of two 
shade tolerant grasses; Poa trivialis and New Zea¬ 
land Chewings Fescue; also Kentucky Blue Grass, 
Domestic Rye Grass and Red Top. On fairly rich, 
well fed soils, alkaline in reaction this mixture will 
produce a turf that is heavy, luxuriant and lasting. 
If the soil is sour, neglected and underfed, do not 
expect this or any other shady mixture to thrive for 
long. 10 lbs, $6.00; 25 lbs, $13.25 ; 50 lbs, $27.50 ; 
100 lbs, $50.00.

lawns, designed for them, and not a general purpose 
formula. Should be applied spring and fall at the 
rate of 10 pounds per 1000 square feet. Packed only 
in 100-lb. bags, $6.00 per bag, freight paid east of
