You too can easily have a beautiful lawn! 
A beautiful lawn sets off your flowers and enhances the beauty of your garden as nothing else will and is a real necessity 
if you want your house and garden to look its best. Contrary to popular belief it is not difficult to have a beautiful lawn, 
but it does require a little preparation and care. The first and most important thing to do is to use good seed. Harris' 
Lawn Grass Mixtures are carefully blended of the finest quality grass seeds, each mixture being made up from tested 
formulas and containing only of those grasses best suited to the purpose for which the mixture is intended. 
You want your lawn to last for a number of years—sow only the best seed. If you want really good seed we have 
it, but if you want ordinary “Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner store. We do not “load” our grass seed 
mixtures with poor, cheap seed. 
Harris' Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture 
We can confidently state that no better grass seed 
can be purchased. 
This mixture is composed of the pure seeds of those fine leaved and deep 
rooted grasses which we have found by long experience to be the most 
desirable and best suited for lawns. They are the finest seed of these 
varieties which can be obtained and are all tested for purity and germina¬ 
tion before being mixed together. None are used which do not come up 
to the highest standard of excellence. We do not “load” our mixtures 
with cheap, bulky seed. 
These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought well 
and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years. 
Our seed is so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 
30 lbs. instead of 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn grass seed. 
The best results are often obtained by sowing the seed quite thick—- 
1 lb. or quart on 300 square feet, but if the seed bed has been well pre¬ 
pared sowing one pound on 400 to 500 square feet will make an excellent 
lawn although not quite as quickly. 
1 Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $2.45; 10 Lbs. $4.70; 25 Lbs. $11.00; 
50 Lbs. $21.00; 100 Lbs. $40.00. Transportation paid. 
Note—Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture contains White 
Dutch Clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn, as 
the roots penetrate deep into the soil and keep the lawn green 
during very hot weather. We can furnish the seed without White 
Clover, if desired, at the same price. Ask for Harris’ Superfine 
Lawn Grass Seed without clover. 
Special Formula Mixtures 
We will be pleased to supply our grass seeds mixed according to your 
own formula for your particular conditions. As in our regular mixtures 
we use only the best grass seed obtainable. Send us your specifications 
and we will be glad to quote you promptly.

Harris' English Blend 
This blend of fine grasses contains Bent grass and also a proper pro¬ 
portion of Kent Wild White Clover and is designed to make a lawn of thick 
velvety turf which will remain green and attractive throughout the dry 
summer months. This blend will thrive on close cutting and is especially 
fine for large expanses of lawn which ordinarily do not get as much care in 
watering and fertilizing as is usually given smaller plots. Wild White 
Clover which we have included in this mixture is so often found in the 
finest English lawns, because of its aggressive habit and ability to blend 
with the companion grasses. It actually aids their growth on account 
of the large amount of nitrogen it puts in the soil. Do not sow too thick. 
Use 1 lb. to 500 or 600 square feet on new seeding. 
1 Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $3.35; 10 Lbs. $6.50; 25 Lbs. $15.50; 
50 Lbs. $30.00; 100 Lbs. $58.00. Transportation paid. 
Terrace Mixture 
This mixture is best for terraces and steep slopes. It is composed of 
fine leaved grasses which have strong tenacious spreading root systems 
that will hold on slopes and terraces without washing out. It also does 
well on shallow soil and will produce fine velvety turf that remains green 
throughout the season. 
In preparing the ground it is well to mix a liberal amount of humus and 
fertilizer with the soil before sowing the seed. Sow 1 lb. to 200 to 300 
square feet. 
1 Lb. 80c; 2 Lbs. $1.55; 5 Lbs. $3.75; 10 Lbs. $7.00. Transportation paid. 
Bent Grass Mixture 
Specially Blended for Fine Lawns 
With this mixture and a little extra care you can have a putting green 
on your own lawn, equal to the best golf greens. 
This is the mixture for the person who wants a very fine leaved velvety 
lawn and is willing to take the time and trouble to get it. It is comprised 
entirely of seed of the Agrostis species; that is, the best Bent grass vari¬ 
eties together with the finest recleaned Red Top. These varieties require 
more plant food than ordinary grass to do their best and should therefore 
be sowed on well fertilized soil and the ground enriched by the regular 
application of a good fertilizer. Keep the grass cut short and roll regu¬ 
larly. Fertilize lightly (2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.) two or three times during 
the season and water copiously. Sow about 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. 
1 Lb. 85c; 2 Lbs. $1.60; 5 Lbs. $3.85: 10 Lbs. $7.50; 25 Lbs. $18.00: 
50 Lbs. $35.50; 100 Lbs. $70.00. Transportation paid.
