Marshall’s LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
Marshall’s Lawn Grass Seeds have given universal satisfaction for 
the past 30 years and are used on many of the largest estates in every 
section of the country for making the best lawns. Our mixtures con- 
tain only the best grades of recleaned grasses, blended in proportions 
to give quick and permanent results. 
Marshall’s “DUROGREEN ” 
LAWN GRASS 
Marshall’s “Durogreen” Lawn Grass Mixture (formerly called 
Special Lawn Grass) produces a perfect as well as permanent lawn 
of luxuriant richness. It quickly forms a closely interwoven, firm and 
elastic turf ready for cutting in about 6 weeks from time of sowing. 
This “Special” mixture is the result of years of experimenting and is 
composed of the proper proportions of finedeaved, deep rooting, per¬ 
ennial grasses which will thrive under varied conditions of soil and 
climate; maintaining a succession of growth during the different sea¬ 
sons of the year, thus insuring a rich, deep green, smooth and velvety 
lawn, free from clumps. 
This is a scientifically blended mixture, containing only the highest 
grade of recleaned seeds of Red Top, Kentucky Blue, Chewing’s 
Fescue, and Colonial Bent grasses, blended in proper quantities. 
Price: Lb., 70c; 5 lbs., ^3.25; 25 lbs., ^15.50; 100 lbs., ^60.00. 
Delivered transportation paid when cash accompanies the order. 
Marshall’s “MATCHLESS” Lawn Grass 
Marshall’s “Matchless” Lawn Grass Mixture (formerly called 
Central Park) still maintains a high place in the esteem of those who 
desire an even, dense growth of permanent sward very early in the sea¬ 
son. This mixture contains no annual grasses so detrimental to a per¬ 
manently good lawn. Only grasses of lasting value and extreme hardi¬ 
ness are used in this popular mixture and we exercise great care to 
use only the purest seed in the proper proportions in its blending. This 
mixture is recommended to those who desire a popular priced mixture 
for average conditions and requirements. 
Our Matchless Lawn Mixture is prepared from our own formula and 
must not be confused with many mixtures that are sold under this 
name. It is composed of only the best recleaned seeds, containing 
Kentucky Blue, Fancy Red Top, Fescue, Perennial Rye and a small 
quantity of White Clover, all blended to warrant perfect results.

Marshall’s “SHADY PLACE” Lawn Grass 
Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass 
under trees and in shady places; for sowing in such places we recom¬ 
mend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly produce an abun¬ 
dant and even growth of beautiful green grass. The grasses used in 
making this special mixture are only those adapted for growing in shade. 
It has been successfully used on some large operations where a green 
sward was desired on land partially shaded by old trees.
