———Lawn Grass beed 
Many low price Grass Seed mixtures weigh only 14 pounds per bushel. This 
indicates either a good proportion of chaff or some of the real good varieties 
in the lOugh state, not properly cleansed so as to leave only the vital part and 
less of the chaff or shell. In other words, so many less seeds to the quart or 
pound that will germinate and grow real grass. 
WHY NOT BUY THE RECLEANED KIND 
A mixture of grasses weighing 22 pounds per bushel of high germination and 
purity; permanent in nature, the varieties carefully proportioned so that they 
will succeed one another in brightness of foliage with the result that the lawn 
even in its first year, will have a bright rich green color from early spring until 
covered by snow. You can accomplish this if you sow

Dining in the open air 
is one of the pleasures that may be yours when you equip 
your verandah with 
Green Painted 
ll.Uilli Porch Curtains 
They give complete privacy to your verandah—let in all the pleasant 
breezes, but keep out prying eyes and the hot sun. They will add 
a pleasant living room to your house and give you all the good of 
your verandah. 
Komi Curtains are made of selected bamboo that is tough enough 
to stand all kinds of wear. They are painted green, not stained, 
that is why they never fade. They are fitted with non-rustable 
pulleys and American cotton rope. 
Komi Green Painted Porch Curtains are made in all sizes. Ask 
your dealer to show you them, or write us for samples.
