Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures. 
W E offer only the best grade of grass seed the market affords, and as you will note, 
offer it by weight. The old way of selling seed by bulk measure was at best very 
unsatisfactory to the purchaser. Modern recleaning machines now make possible 
removing of much of the chaff and foreign matter, so that seed so treated is very muc 
heavier for the same bulk. It is therefore necessary to read the following table of quantities 
use, otherwise you are in danger of buying more seed than is required. A pound of our c ean .. 
seed contains more grass seed than two quarts of many grass-seed mixtures put up in the c // 
and sold- by the quart. 
Quantities to Use of the Following Mixtures: 
1 pound package for 400 square feet. 
6 pound package for 2,000 square feet. 
10 pound bag for 4,000 square feet. 
15 pound bag for 6,000 square feet. 
25 pound bag for one-fourth acre. 
50 pound bag for one-half acre. 
100 pound for one acre.
