surrounding this attractive structure. 
Monarch Improved Armory Lawn Grass Mixture 
Tins PERFECTLY BLENDED LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
WILL GIVE YOU A LAWN YOU CAN MOW IN SIX 
WEEKS FROM PLANTING. ARMORY LAWN Grass Mix¬ 
ture is a combination of grasses and clover mixed in such 
proportions as to give you a quick, sturdy and beautiful lawn. 
The faster g^rowing gi’asses contained in Armory Mixture 
serve as nurse crops for the slower growing varieties which 
are eventually the dominating grasses of the mixture. We 
placed Armory Mixture on the market many years ago and 
from time to time have improved the blend by reducing some 
of the proportions and increasing the quantities of better 
grasses contained in the mixture until now in our IMPROVED 
ARMORY MIXTURE we have a grass that pleases wherever 
it is planted. If you wish to seed a shaded area just tell us 
so and we will incorporate the right amount of a shade-loving 
grass in Armory Mixture. If your order does not specify seed 
for shade we will send straight Armory Mixture. Rate of seed¬ 
ing is 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. Price, lb. 60c (by mail 70c).

Crested Wheat Grass. Here’s a grass that no amount of 
drought can kill out. If you have real dry land in which you 
have been unsuccessful in getting a profitable stand of grass 
or hay, plant Crested Wheat Grass. A little pi-eparation of the 
soil and the sowing of 15 pounds per acre of this dryland grass 
will solve the problem presented to you each year by that dry 
land. Crested Wheat Grass makes a palatable hay, produces 
well and will not kill out. In spite of the severe droughts in 
the middle west. Crested Wheat Grass has held its own, pro¬ 
ducing feed where all other grasses failed. The crop of seed 
is extremely short this year and our supply quite limited, so 
order early. This grass is the first to. start in the spring and 
the first to spring to life when fall rains come. It stands the 
severest cold weather and best of all, the hottest and driest 
summer weather. Lb. $1.06; 10 lbs. $9.00, postpaid. 
Red Top (Herds Grass). Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. This is 
one of the most valuable and satisfactory grasses in all locali¬ 
ties. Thrives on low ground, where water stands late in the 
season. Red Top should be included in all mixtures intended 
for permanent pastures or hay. It makes excellent pasturage 
and is ideal for hay. When well established it spreads and 
will supplant other grasses. Fine for hillsides, will prevent 
erosion. Matures at the same time as Meadow Fescue, Orchard 
Grass, Tall Oats Grass and Timothy. IJ). 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25, 
postpaid. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Evergreen Grass). This grass seems 
to make more leafage and grazing, a larger yield of hay and 
to keep green longer, both during the winter and summer, than 
most grasses. It is especially adapted to heavy soils. It with¬ 
stands heat and drought and the cold of winter; starts very 
early in the spring and continues late in the fall. For hay it 
can be cut twice in a season, frequently producing doubly as 
much hay as timothy. Ripens at the same time as Orchard 
Grass and Red or Alsike Clover. Thrives on uplands but gives 
excellent results on nearly all soils and better than most 
grasses on light and sandy soils. When sown alone, sow 25 
to 30 pounds to the acre either in spring or fall. Lb. 50c; 10 lbs. 
$4.50, postpaid. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. There is 
no better grass for permanent pasture than Kentucky Blue 
Grass. It is nutritious, palatable and a heavy producer. Ex¬ 
cept in very light soils it should be included in every mixture. 
Very hardy, spreads freely, produces abundantly, withstands 
drought and cannot be tramped out. Lb. 3(k*; 10 lbs. $2.50, post¬ 
paid. 
Winter Blue Grass (Poa Bulbosa). "The Grass That Grows 
When Other Grasses Sleep.’’ Poa Bulbosa reverses the nor¬ 
mal order of growth and produces winter grass while other 
crops are dormant. It is a perennial and distantly related to 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Cattle eat Poa Bulbosa readily and 
greatly relish this grass either in the green stage or as dry 
pasture. Poa Bulbosa can be winter pastured and toward 
spring the cattle removed to permit the grass to grow to full 
development when it can be either dry pastured or cut for 
hay. It supplies winter grazing when all other grasses are 
dormant. Will not become a pest. Requires no further seed¬ 
ing when once established. Plant in the fall or early winter, 
seeding at the rate of 25 pounds per acre. Poa Bulbosa can be 
combined with alfalfa resulting in two crops from the same 
piece of ground; hay crops in the summer and pasture during 
the winter. Postpaid, small lot price, 50c lb. Write for quan¬
