Ross' 
Lawn Seed, Bank 
and Terrace Mixtures 
Perfect Lawns Within Reach of All. All of Ross' Celebrated Lawn 
Grass Seeds are particularly suited to the New England conditions. When 
properly used, they produce thick velvety lawns of the finest type in a 
few weeks. 
The making of a lawn is not a matter of chance. Good seed, proper 
fertilizer, the right soil condition—all are vital factors. 
If you are contemplating making a new lawn, or restoring an old 
one, let us help you with your problem. 
Use Quality Lawn Seed 
There are only a very few kinds of grasses suitable for lawns. Seeds of 
these fine kinds are much more expensive than the seeds of other less 
desirable grasses, most of which make good hay, but do not make good 
lawns. The cheap seeds will often grow and cover the ground with green, 
but eventually the lawn will deteriorate and have to be remade, which is a 
very expensive and troublesome thing to do. 
The Best Results are obtained by sowing the seed quite thickly, one 
pound or quart to 200 or S00 square feet, but sowing one pound on 400 
to 500 square feet will make an excellent lawn although not quite as 
quickly. 
To Renew Old Lawns. Rake thoroughly, stirring the ground as much 
as possible without killing the grass. All moss and weeds should be 
removed as far as possible. Sow half as much grass seed as recom¬ 
mended for seeding a new lawn. After seeding, the lawn should be rolled.

WORCESTER The Worcester Lawn Seed is our own mixture made 
■ » VA/k| CErr\ f rom a formula which has been given a great deal 
LA WIN ottU of careful study and we are positive that no better

used the lawn will be ready for the first cutting in about five weeks and 
with reasonable care an excellent lawn can be maintained for years. We 
advise using 140 to 160 pounds per acre. Price, lb., 50c; 2 lbs., $1.00; 
5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.25; 100 lbs., $40.00. 
CEMETERY The location of many of the cemeteries, with which 
AAIYTIIDP we are ^ am ^ iar / have been selected due particularly 
Aril A I UKt to the fact that the soil is well drained and quite often 
we find a sand or gravel top soil. This mixture is 
intended for such places, as we have selected the varieties of grasses 
which are best adapted to such soils. Price, lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 
10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $30.00. 
BANK and TERRACE We have had so many calls for a mix- 
iyri * p r ture of grass seed to be used on a bank 
AAIA I UKt or terrace, that last year, for the first 
time, we offered a mixture for this 
purpose. It is mixed from grasses which naturally grow a strong, creep¬ 
ing root and are very valuable in holding the soil in place, preventing 
serious washouts during heavy rains. The seed starts quickly. Price, 
lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.20; 5 lbs., $2.75; 10 lbs., $5.25; 100 lbs., $45.00.
