TIEUE “JVEILLS” 
ETXIaZN grhss seed. 
Weighs from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. Other lawn mixtures do not average over 18 lbs to 
the bushel. The Purest, Cleanest and Heaviest Lawn Grass Seed ever offered. It is the best Lawn Seed 
for our American climate and is composed of various grasses that grow and flourish during different 
months of the year, so that a rich deep green velvety lawn is constantly maintained. This Lawn Seed is 
the result of several years’ careful experimenting, and as I now offer it the mixture is unequalled. It may 
not also be generally known that it is, relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because while the 
Lawn Grass Mixtures of other seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, my Lawn Seed will 
weight from 20 to 21 lbs. per measured bushel. The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushels 
per acre, or for renovating old lawns 1 to 2 bushels. For a plot 15x20 or 300 feet square, 1 quart is 
required for new, or 1 pint for renovation. Price : Per quart, 25 cts.; peck, $1.50 ; bushel, $5.00. (If by 
mail, add 5 cts. to quart, price for postage.)
