“Permanent Turf ”—A Phenomenal Lawn Seed Mixture 
PERMANENT TURF 
The House Famous for Lawn Grass Seed’s 
“NEW LAWN FORMULA” Prepared 
Especially for Chinch Bug Infested Areas 
Many beautiful lawns throughout certain 
areas of the eastern coast of the United States 
and elsewhere have been completely destroy¬ 
ed as a result of the extensive ravages of a 
recent lawn pest, the Chinch Bug. This bug 
is of the sucking insect type and does its dam¬ 
age to lawns by piercing the grass blades and 
shoots near the soil level and sucking out 
the juices of the grass. 
Certain grasses have been found to be high¬ 
ly resistant to the attacks of this insect and 
it is a careful blending of these grasses that 
make up our “Permanent Turf.”

HAIRY CHINCH BUGS 
HAIRY CHINCH BUG 
The most logical control of this and 
other lawn pests is through the establish¬ 
ment of various individual grasses which 
are less susceptible to insect injury. We 
highly recommend our new “Perma¬ 
nent Turf” Formula for this purpose. 
(See above). The most effective chem¬ 
ical controls are either pure Tobacco 
Dust or Rotenone Dust applied at the 
rate of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. Appli¬ 
cation should be made during the hottest 
part of the day and the material thor¬ 
oughly brushed in. There are two 
broods, application for the first should 
be made in early June and in early 
August for the second. (See page 70.) 
SEEDED WITH BURNETTS BANK AND TERRACE MIXTURE

BURNETTS “SHADY PLACE” MIXTURE 
When a lawn is much shaded, either in whole or in part, the shaded portions should 
be sown with Burnett’s “Shady Place” Lawn Grass Mixture, which is a combination of fine, 
dwarf-growing evergreen varieties, which, in their wild or natural state, are to be found grow¬ 
ing in the woods or other sheltered or shady places. Under or in the immediate neighborhood 
of large trees fertilizers should be applied liberally and frequently, for the trees absorb the 
fertilizer and impoverish the ground. Ground much shaded is very frequently sour, and if 
the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered 
with moss. In such cases an application of lime 
or wood ashes raked in will sweeten the soil, but 
the moss should be first removed with a sharp 
steel-toothed rake. Lb. 70c., 5 lbs. $3.25, 12J4 
lbs. $7.75, 25 lbs. $15.00, 100 lbs. $55.00 
BURNETTS “BANK AND 
TERRACE” MIXTURE 
On sloping banks it is often necessary to 
use sod, as heavy rains wash the soil off before 
the grass seed has time to germinate. It is 
sometimes even necessary, in sodding very 
steep banks, to use pins 8 or 10 inches in 
length to pin the sods in place, to prevent 
them from being washed down by excessive 
rains before the grass roots have had time to 
fasten in the soil. The Terrace mixture which 
we offer is composed of deep-rooting grasses 
which, if once established, will hold the soil 
and prevent washing. We advise liberal fer¬ 
tilization and seeding so that the grasses may 
be quickly established.

JAPANESE BEETLE GRUBS

JAPANESE BEETLE 
The most serious lawn insect pest in recent years. 
The grubs feed on the roots of the grass during May 
and June and again in August and September. The 
serious increase of this pest threatens 
the very existence of our gardens and 
lawns. Earnest cooperation of all within 
the infested area in fighting the Japa¬ 
nese Beetle is the only solution to the 
control of this menace. Grub proofing of 
lawn areas with Arsenate of Lead kills 
the grubs and safeguards the lawn from 
damage. 
Rate of Application —1 lb. to each 100 
sq. ft. Apply either in early Spring or 
late Summer. Rake in thoroughly. See 
page 69 for prices. 
TOBACCO DUST (Finest grade, l-\V 2 per cent nicotine). For Chinch Bugs and other Lawn Pests.
