Seed Your Lawn This Spring with 
Pedigreed Kentucky Blue Grass Seed 
While the ordinary blue grass seeds of commerce doubtless contain some trace of the original 
Kentucky stock, the addition of common seeds, made necessary because of the high cost of pure 
stock, is so great as to rob them of their essential character and to produce poor imitations of the 
blue grass lawns as grown in “Old Kentucky." 
In order to preserve the purity and to maintain the prestige of the genuine Kentucky Blue 
Grass, the management of the greatest farms in Central Kentucky have arranged with the Ken¬ 
tucky State Agricultural College to test every lot of their seed which is then shipped direct to the 
consumer in officially sealed bags. 
KENTUCKY THOROBRED 
BLUE GRASS SEED 
is the yield of Elmendorf, Walnut Hall, Wood- 
burn, Hamburg Place and Castleton, five of 
the greatest farms in America, comprising more 
than 25,000 acres of the finest Blue Grass soil 
and famous for their thoroughbred stock and 
their wonderful farm and dairy produce. 
This seed has all been tested by the experts of 
the State Agricultural College and is guaran¬ 
teed for purity, germination and rugged grow¬ 
ing power. Its production has been as scien¬ 
tifically conducted as the production of thor¬ 
oughbred live stock. 
Seed your lawn with this seed and you will 
secure the most beautiful stand of grass that 
can be grown. It will be uniform, free from 
weeds and common grasses, fine and velvety 
in texture and very tenacious of life. The offi¬ 
cial seal of the growers and the tests of the 
State College are your guarantee. Order at 
once as the seeding season is at hand.
