TURF AND LAWN MIXTURES 
There are many advantages in securing Navlet carefully executed formulas of turf and lawn grass mixtures 
for definite exposures and soil conditions. No one grass, or grass seed mixture will thrive under all exposures sur¬ 
rounding a home, especially if there are hedges or trees to create shade. 
Single strain lawns, of Bent, or Fescue, require considerably more attention than the average Home Gardener 
cares to or has the time to give them.
