Lawn Grass Seeds 
Making a lawn is a job that most of us only have to undertake once or twice in a 
life-time. We build lawns for permanence, and for that reason we OUGHT to go 
about it with the utmost care. We want the soil carefully prepared before planting 
the seed and we want the VERY BEST SEED OBTAINABLE. Grass seed is one item 
that it NEVER pays to shop around for and buy from whoever quotes the best price. 
The BEST is always the CHEAPEST in the long run. Seed stores are required to 
submit their seeds for tests of germination and purity while other stores are not 
made to do so. For that reason some stores, who do not specialize in seeds, buy, and 
sell, the cheapest grass seed that is offered them. 
BUY YOUR LAWN SEED FROM A SEED STORE 
Another thing to remember, when making a lawn, is that MANURE, in any form 
whatever, is not necessary, not advisable, and should NEVER be used. Any form of 
manure is liable to contain seeds of the most noxious weeds, and it is apt to contain 
germs of plant diseases that may, and probably will, give you trouble perpetually.

NEVER USE MANURE IN ANY FORM ON YOUR LAWN 
A mulch of PEAT MOSS and feeding with CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS is the mod¬ 
ern and the best way to make and maintain a lawn.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS, Standard Grade.

CAPITOL LAWN MIXTURE, 60% Ky. Blue 
Grass, based on mixture we used in seeding 
the State House lawn in Denver. 
SHADY SPOT MIXTURE, just the thing for 
shady places where other grasses will not 
thrive . 
ASTORIA BENT, a fine grass for lawns because 
it puts out creepers both above and below 
the surface of the soil. Very tolerant to dry 
conditions . 
SEASIDE BENT, also called Coos Bent. Re¬ 
quires more moisture than the Astoria. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE, thrives under adverse 
conditions and poor soil, should be used with 
other grasses rather than alone . 
RED FESCUE, has fine textured dark green 
blade, also used in mixtures . 
RED TOP, withstands dry conditions and is 
very hardy. Used in mixtures . 
RYE GRASS (Native), not perennial, used in 
mixtures because of its quick germination, 
therefore shades other grasses until they 
get a start .. 
ENGLISH BLUE GRASS (Meadow Fescue) ger¬ 
minates quickly and is usually hardy, recom¬ 
mended to use in mixtures . 
POA TRIVIALIS, the king of grasses for shady 
places and sour soil, we use quite freely in 
our Shady Spot Mixture . 
BERMUDA GRASS. Not hardy in Colorado or 
adjoining states, therefore not quoted.
