Allen’s Celebrated Lawn Seed 
Value of a Lawn 
There is nothing more pleasing to the eye, that adds more beauty and value to the home than a beautiful well 
kept lawn. You never get tired of a good lawn and no home is complete without it. 
Since it is so important, and since it is to last for years, nothing in its construction should be slighted. By 
making a good lawn at the start, much worry, labor, and expense will be saved by the home owner afterwards.

Creeping Bent 
(Agrostis Stolonifera) 
Modern golf has popularized this thickly rooting, densely 
cropping grass for putting greens. Makes a velvety smooth, 
low, thrifty lawn surface sown 60 pounds to the acre. 
By mail, postpaid: Lb., $1.00: 5 lbs., $4.00; 10 lbs., $7.00. 
Allen’s Evergreen Mixture 
For a Good, Clean, Quick Lawn 
This mixture is composed of the choicest grasses for lawn 
purposes, and is especially made to produce a crop of grass 
very quickly. 
We have had, where conditions were extremely favorable, a 
good stand ready for the mower in 3 weeks. This mixture con¬ 
tains no trash and is adapted to either clay, sandy, or loam 
soil, and should be applied at the rate of 1 pound to 300 square 
feet, or in the case of renovating an old lawn 1 pound to 600 
square feet, depending upon how thin the grass is. Price: Per 
lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. By freight or express: 10 lbs., 
$3.50; 20 lbs., $6.00. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
One of the most fancy grasses that we have today. Is largely 
used in lawn making and starts growing early in the spring, 
continuing until the ground freezes late in the fall. Price: 
Per lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75, postpaid. 
White Dutch Clover 
This is very good seed to use in renovating old lawns, espe¬ 
cially on sandy soil, as the plant roots deeper than any other 
variety of grass, and is not affected so much by drought. 
Price: Per lb., 50c; 3 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
Shady Nook Mixture 
Have you a lawn that is shaded by trees ? If so, try a few 
pounds of our Shady Nook Grass Mixture, which is just what 
you need in order to raise a patch of fine, compact, velvety 
grass under such conditions. Shaded ground often becomes 
sour and in this case it would be necessary to give it an appli¬ 
cation of crushed limestone before seeding, applied at the rate 
of 25 pounds for 500 square feet. Seed at the rate of 1 pound 
to about 250 square feet. Price: Per lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, 
postpaid. 
Renovate Your Lawn 
If your lawn is thin and patchy, sow our Evergreen 
Mixture at the rate of about I pound to every 500 
square feet and press in with a roller, applying this 
a couple of seasons, and top dress in the winter with 
well rotted compost and your unsightly lawn can be 
made beautiful.
