ROSS Recleaned, Tested 
Lawn Grass Seeds 
Our Grasses are recleaned, tested seeds. Our 
Mid-West Lawn Grass Mixture is made up of 
different grasses, properly proportioned to 
meet the need of any home owner who has 
difficulty in securing a good lawn. We list 
below the grasses we recommend. 
MID-WEST LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
In partial shade and on light and sandy soils we espe¬ 
cially recommend this mixture as containing the necessary 
grasses to meet these conditions. Use one pound to each 
300 square feet. Price: Ib. 35c, 5 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. $2.50, 
Postpaid. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Acorn Brand; 24 lbs. to bushel, cleaned and recleaned. 
Use one pound to each 200 square feet. Lb. 35c, 5 lbs. 
S1.50, 10 lbs. $2.50, Postpaid. 
RED TOP GRASS 
Useful in Grass Seed Mixtures. It germinates almost as 
quickly as White Clover. Does not bunch, has finer leaf 
than Kentucky Blue Grass. We especially recommend 
this for sowing on temporary lawns because it covers 
the ground with green grass in a few days. Price: lb. 35c, 
5 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. $2.50, Postpaid. 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS 
Somewhat coarser plant than Ken¬ 
tucky Blue Grass, should be sown 
one pound to 200 square feet to se¬ 
cure good lawn. Is hardy, a native 
grass of Kansas, will stand drouth. 
Price: lb. 35c, 5 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. 
$2.50, Postpaid. 
WHITE CLOVER 
For lawns, makes rapid growth, 
we recommend sowing with other 
grasses at the rate of one-third 
Clover and two-thirds Blue Grass, 
because Clover germinates quickly 
thus protecting the tender plants 
of other grasses. When sown alone 
sow one pound to 400 square feet. 
Price: lb. 70c; 5 lbs. $3.25; 10 lbs. 
$6.00, Postpaid. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT 
We believe this is the best Bent Grass for lawn. Sow 
five pounds to 1,000 square feet of lawn. $1.25 per pound, 
5 lbs. $5.75; 10 lbs. $10.00, Postpaid. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS 
Similar in growth to English Blue Grass, is quite useful 
in grass seed mixture, and in some localities has given 
good results alone. We especially recommend Italian 
Eye Grass seed for sowing in the fall months to insure 
plenty of green grass throughout the winter months. 
Sow one pound on each 200 square feet of ground. 
Price: 35c, 5 lbs. $1.50, 10 lbs. $2.50, Postpaid. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
Is a quick-growing grass, usually shows green in 10 to 
12 days after seeding. Useful for sowing into Bermuda 
lawns, to keep ground green during fall and winter. 
Sow one pound to 250 square feet. Price: lb. 25c, 5 lbs. 
$1.00, 10 lbs. $1.75, Postpaid. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS 
A grass for permanent lawns, but more suitable for 
orchards and pastures. Sow one pound on each 200 
square feet for lawns. Price: lb. 45c, 5 lbs. $2.00, 
10 lbs. $3.75, Postpaid. 
BERMUDA GRASS 
Is a southern grass. It delights in sunshine and warmth. 
It is extensively used in this section of the country for 
lawns. Bermuda Grass is a small creeping hardy 
perennial, which thrives on nearly all of our soils, 
though like other grasses it gives best results on the 
richer soils. The upright stems vary in height from a 
few inches to two feet according to richness of soil. 
The leaves, which are short and numerous, grow near 
the base of the plant. 
It grows vigorously during the 
hot summer months when other 
grasses are parched and dead. One 
of the chief reasons why this grass 
has not been more extensively used 
is the fact that it has been the 
habit to propagate it from the 
roots, as it does not mature seed in 
this section. However, it is as easy 
to get a good stand by sowing seed. 
Bermuda Grass seed should be sown 
in the spring, 60 to 90 days are 
required for the seed to germinate. 
The ground should be well prepared 
with a good, firm seed-bed, as the 
seed is small, and is sown at the 
rate of 1 lb. to each 300 square 
feet of ground for lawn. Do not 
cover more than one-half inch. 
Price: 60c per lb., 5 lbs. $2.75, 10 
lbs. $5.00, Postpaid. Also Bermuda 
roots. Write for prices.
