V. B. B. "EVERGREEN” LAWN SEED 
BANK AND TERRACE MIXTURES 
The failure of spring-made lawns can often be traced directly to lack of moisture, if 
not to the use of inferior grass seed. One is as bad as the other. The seed mixtures 
listed here are of high quality and we guarantee them to give satisfactory results, if 
properly applied and taken care of. They are V.B.B. “Evergreen” type, and carefully 
selected. Fall planting, to a great extent, eliminates the danger of a new lawn being 
subjected to prolonged hot weather and naturally will require less artificial watering. In 
other words. Nature co-operates by providing suitable weather conditions. 
Nevertheless, one must closely observe the soil conditions until the new grass is well 
established. If artificial watering becomes necessary, do so in the evening and be sure 
to soak the soil thoroughly. Apply water in the morning if night frost is anticipated. 
Your first requirement however, is the purchase of “reliable’ seed from a reliable 
dealer.
