Terrace Mixture 
It is composed of fine leaved grasses which have strong tenacious 
spreading root systems that will hold on slopes and terraces without 
washing out. It also does well on shallow soil, producing a fine velvety 
turf that remains green throughout the season. 
In preparing the ground on terraces and slopes it is especially important 
to mix a liberal amount of humus and fertilizer with the soil before sowing 
the seed. Sow 1 lb. to 200 to 300 square feet. 
1 Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $3.35; 10 Lbs. $6.50; transportation paid. 
Grass Seed for Shady Lawns 
Best for Seeding Under Trees 
Ma ny lawn grasses do not thrive in shady places. We have put into 
this mixture those kinds which will grow and make a good sod under trees 
and in the shade of buildings where most lawn grass would not do well. 
This seed should be sown in the early spring or fall. Stir the ground 
thoroughly and rake smooth. Sow the seed at the rate of I lb. to 250-300 
square feet for new seeding or one half that amount to renew old lawns. 
A dressing of 4 lbs. of a good fertilizer to 100 sq. ft. raked in before 
seeding will be very beneficial. 
Shady Lawn Mixture: 1 Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c; 5 Lbs. $2.45; 10 Lbs. $4.70; 
25 Lbs. $11.00; 50 Lbs. $21.00; 100 Lbs. $40.00; transportation paid.

MYSTYFIER 
"BETTER THAN RAIN" 
The most practical lawn and garden 
sprinkler we have ever seen. It throws a 
fine misty rain-like spray that will not 
damage the most delicate blooms, or wash 
out the finest seed, yet it will put on an 
enormous amount of water—the kind of 
rain that will soak the ground without 
washing. 
It is rust proof, has no mov¬ 
ing parts to wear, no pinpoint 
nozzles to clog. Works de¬ 
pendably under all pressures. 
Detachable anchor keeps it 
firmly in place. 
Price $1.00 each transpor¬ 
tation paid. 
Lawn Grass for Annual Seeding 
There are often places under large deciduous trees and shrubs which the 
sun cannot reach at any time during the day when the leaves are out. 
Under these conditions, no grass of any kind will continue to thrive for 
any length of time. The best thing for such places is to sow some quick 
growing grasses, either in the autumn when the leaves fall, or in the early 
spring before the leaves come out. The grass will then cover the ground 
and remain green until late in the summer. Ground that is heavily shad¬ 
ed nearly all the time has to be reseeded each year. We can furnish a 
mixture of grasses which are the most suitable for this purpose. Please 
order by name as follows: Sow about 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft.

SEPARATE VARIETIES OF GRASSES MOST SUITABLE FOR LAWNS 
The seed we offer in this list is the highest quality only. We do not handle inferior quality grass seeds. Samples will be gladly sent on request. 
CHEWINGS NEW ZEALAND FESCUE. (F. rubra fallax.) For places 
that get hard wear. Forms a fine-leaved matlike sod which is re¬ 
sistant to hard wear. It does well on most all kinds of soil and in shady 
spots. Used extensively in putting green mixtures. We offer finest 
New Zealand seed. Also valuable as a pasture grass. 
1 Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.45; 5 Lbs. $3.40; transportation paid. Not paid: 
10 Lbs. $6.40: 25 Lbs. or more at 60c per Lb. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. ( Poa Praiensis .) The “Backbone" of 
Fine Lawn Grass Mixtures. Kentucky Blue Grass is the ideal com¬ 
panion grass. It does well on high dry land and also in moist places. 
It is very aggressive and spreads rapidly by means of under-ground 
stems and makes a fine texture sod when cut at lawn length. It starts 
to grow early in the spring and maintains its green color until late in 
the fall. We offer the finest quality seed. 
Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 65c; 5 Lbs. $1.50 transportation paid. Not paid: 
10 Lbs. $2.40; 25 Lbs. or more at 20c per lb. 
ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS. ( Poa trivialis.) For Shady 
Spots. This is one of the few grasses that does well in shady spots. 
It is also resistant to drought and forms a close compact sod, which 
greatly resembles Kentucky Blue Grass. This grass should be in all 
lawn grass mixtures for shady places. This grass is often included in 
pasture mixtures also. 
1 Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. $1.00; 5 Lbs. $2.25; transportation paid. 
RHODE ISLAND BENT. ( Agroslis Capillaris.) Also known as 
Colonial Bent and Prince Edward Island Bent. A very excellent 
grass where a fine close cut lawn is desired and is probably the most 
common of the bent grasses. Used to a large extent in fine lawn and 
greens mixtures. It will form an excellent sod and stand quite close 
mowing. It does well on poor and acid soil and being of a semi-creep¬ 
ing habit will recover the ground after injury. Sow 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. 
1 Lb. $1.25; 2 Lbs. $2.35; 5 Lbs. $5.50; 10 Lbs. $10.00; transportation 
paid. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT. (Agr. Maritima.) Best for Putting 
Greens. This is the true creeping type and forms a very dense sod of 
beautiful dark green color, with narrow leaves. Will stand very close 
cutting and resist hard wear. We offer the true Seaside Creeping Beni. 
Sow one pound to 300 sq. ft. 
1 Lb. $1.25; 2 Lbs. $2.35; 5 Lbs. $5.50; 10 Lbs. $10.00; transportation 
paid. 
FANCY RED TOP. ( Agrostis alba.) Fine for Lawns. A remarkably 
rapid growing and aggressive lawn grass. It does well on a large vari¬ 
ety of soils and will withstand both drought conditions and wet 
ground and thrives under moderate close cutting. This is an excellent 
kind of mix with Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 65c; 5 Lbs. $1.50 transportation paid. Not paid: 
10 Lbs. $2.40; 25 Lbs. or more at 20c per lb. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (English.) ( Lolium perenne.) For Quick 
Covering. Will make a quick covering of bright green grass on new 
lawns and is valuable for this reason. It makes a good growth in a 
few weeks but will not make a permanent sod. For new seeding a mix¬ 
ture of 10% Rye Grass may be safely used. 
Lb. 30c; 2 Lbs. 55c; 5 Lbs. $1.25 transportation paid. Not paid; 
10 Lbs. $2.20; 25 Lbs. or more at ltlc per lb. 
WHITE CLOVER FOR LAWNS 
KENT WILD WHITE CLOVER. Best Clover for Lawns. This is 
the clover which is found in the wonderful English lawns, and we rec¬ 
ommend it highly. The plant is creeping in habit, low growing and 
tenacious. It is inconspicuous and blends readily with the companion 
grasses forming a thick velvety sward which remains green all summer. 
Wild white clover actually adds nitrogen to the soil and improves the 
growth of companion grasses. The leaves are smaller than White 
Dutch Clover and it blossoms much less. A very light seeding in the 
spring (1 lb. to 7500 sq. ft.) will get Wild White Clover started. 
Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.35; 2 Lbs. $5.00; 5 Lbs. or more at $2.10 per Lb.; 
transportation paid. 
White Dutch Clover. Very valuable for use on lawns. The roots 
extend deep into the ground and consequently stands drought well. 
1 Lb. 65c; 2 Lbs. $1.20; 5 Lbs. or more at 55c per Lb.; transportation 
paid. 
PEAT MOSS

odorless. Single bale $3.40; 3 bales or more at $3.35 per bale. Purchaser
