Shady Lawn 
Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed 
It is difficult to grow grass in the shade and under trees because the trees use up 
nearly all the food and moisture in the soil. This mixture will thrive better than any 
other and is the best possible for under trees. Water frequently until grass is well started.

Terrace Lawn Grass Seed 
The grasses used for a sloping bank or terrace must have such roots as will withstand 
the washing caused by heavy rains. This mixture forms a network of densely matted 
roots of deep-rooting character. These deep roots will better withstand drought during 
the summer as they reach down below the surface dryness. After seeding, cover with a 
little soil and firm down to keep from washing out. On steep slopes it is sometimes best 
to cover after seeding with sheet burlap, pegged down. b^Ib. 30 cts.; Ib. 55 cts.; 2 lbs. 
$1.05; 5 lbs. $2.60; 10 lbs. $5; 25 lbs. $12.25; 100 lbs. $48, delivered.
