Michell’s Shaded Lawn Seed 
Michell’s Superior Bent Grass Mixture 
Shaded locations have often been found difficult to keep 
in grass. We have combined a mixture of grasses that will 
produce a perfect sward in the most densely shaded place. 
It must be borne in mind that too much shade creates sour 
soil, and to guard against this apply hydrated lime at the 
rate of 50 pounds to each 1000 square feet. Bushel weighs 
20 pounds. Pt. 30c.; 55c. per qt.; 2 qts. 95c.; $1.75 per 4 qts.; 
pk. $3.00; $5.75 per )^bus.; bus. $11.00; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 
Composed chiefly of the leading varieties of Bent Grass, 
but containing a sufficient percentage of other hardier fine- 
bladed grasses to produce a lawn of putting-green texture 
but which is not as susceptible to disease and attack by 
insects as pure Bent. We recommend sowing this seed at the 
rate of 1 pound to 300 square feet. Lb. $1.00; $4.50 per 
5 lbs.; 25 lbs. $20.00; $75.00 per 100 lbs.

YOUR LAWN 
The importance of a healthy, well-kept 
lawn as a setting for the home and a reflec¬ 
tion of the refinement within, is a factor very 
often overlooked. Careful selection of seed 
is a prime consideration, and since this item 
represents but a small percentage of the total 
cost of lawn-building and maintenance, it is 
essential that you get seed of proved quality. Shady Place 
In the matter of grass seed, the user must 
rely wholly on the reputation of the seller. Purity, freedom from weed 
seeds and useless chaff, as well as vitality and the permanency of the 
resultant turf—all contribute to the value of a lawn mixture, but none 
of these points may be determined by the average person until considerable 
effort, expense, and time have been invested in the lawn. We call your 
attention to our experience of more than forty years with turf grasses on the 
finest estates and golf courses in the East. Large volume places us in a 
position to offer highest quality seed of the latest crop, direct from the most 
reliable sources, both in this country and abroad. Thorough recleaning by 
modern methods eliminates to the highest degree, weed seeds and chaff. 
It is this seed that we offer in our various mixtures or separately.
