EXPERIENCED GROUNDSMEN INSIST UPON LANDRETHS’ SEEDS 
23 
Athletic Seed fixtures 
It is important to have grasses which have long, tough roots and are able to withstand sharp spikes, 
cleats and drought. In preparing these mixtures we have consulted numerous experts and groundsmen, 
and have taken all types of soil and climate into consideration. Landreths’ Athletic Mixtures do not contain 
clover unless ordered specially. Planting good seed is only one important step toward success. The knowl¬ 
edge of proper maintenance of sport turf is a necessity also. We can duplicate any seed mixture and will 
gladly blend your favorite formula.
