THEILMANN’S LAWN GRASS 
This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the purpose of quickly producing a per¬ 
manent lawn. It is prepared by a careful blending of different grasses to produce a thick, vel¬ 
vety appearance so much sought after. Many of the choicest lawns in our city have been seeded 
down with this mixture and have proven satisfactory. 
THEILMANN’S “SHADY PLACE” GRASS 
We have a special lawn mixture for shady places. The grasses used in making this mixture 
are only those that are well adapted for growingin the shade, and as it blends well with our regu¬ 
lar Lawn Grass Mixture, it may be used on those portions of the lawn which are shaded by trees, 
buildings etc. 
ALFALFA, SWEET CLOVER 
Alfalfa. One of the most, nutritious plants 
grown; valuable as a dried hay or for pasture. 
With proper cultivation it can be grown on some 
part of almost any farm in Pennsylvania or ad¬ 
joining states. Two or three cuttings can he 
made in a season, producing from 3 to 5 tons of 
hay per acre. Ton for ton its feed-value equals 
that of wheat-bran. From 12 to 15 pounds of 
seed are usually sown to the acre; some grow¬ 
ers sow only 10 pounds to the acre. We sell the 
very best northwestern American-grown seed. 
Grimm Alfalfa. This variety is well known and 
is sown because of its hardiness, productiveness, 
and greater resistance to all types of “yellow¬ 
ing.” The extra cost per acre for seed of this 
variety is generally justified. We sell genuine 
certified Grimm. 
Sweet. This is a legume whose value 
today as a soil-improver is much appreciated. It 
is also used for forage. It is recommended by 
authorities and farmers everywhere. Will do 
well in most any soil, but it requires lime and 
the seed should ibe inoculated. It may be sown 
either in the spring or fall. Sow about twenty 
pounds, of seed to an acre. Although a great 
number of different species are grown in the Old 
World, we recommend for this climate only 
the White Blossom Biennial (Melilotus alba.)
