LAWN GRASS 
Whether you are seeding a new lawn or repairing 
an old one, it is very important that you use a good 
seed. Much cheap grass seed carries an excessive 
amount of weed seeds, chaff and coarse grasses. 
These mixtures are made up to sell at a price. It has 
always been our policy to make up the best possible 
mixture and then determine the selling price. 
We make up two mixtures: one for soils rich in 
lime and the other for those sections where there is a 
deficiency of lime in the soil. 
We do not make up a special mixture for shady 
spots except on order. Shady lawn mixtures usually 
contain a large percentage of grasses that do not 
match the rest of the lawn in color. Both of our 
lawn mixtures contain 20% of Rough Stalked 
Meadow grass. This grass will grow well both in 
the shade and in sunny locations. 
Mixture No. 1 for limestone soils contains 5% of 
White Dutch Clover. Mixture No. 2 is made up 
with 20% of Rhode Island Bent grass. 
Only the best “Fancy” grade of seed is used in 
these mixtures. This seed is free from noxious weed 
seeds and contains a minimum of inert materials. 
One pound of lawn grass seed will sow approxi¬ 
mately 300 square feet. If you have a special lawn 
problem, write us and we will try to help you. 
No. 1 Lawn Mixture (for limestone soils): 
lb. 45 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.00; 20 lbs. $7.50 prepaid. 
No. 2 Lawn Mixture (for acid soils): lb. 50 cts.; 
5 lbs. $2.25; 20 lbs. $8.50 prepaid. 
LAWN GRASS FOR ANNUAL SEEDING 
There are often places which the sun cannot reach 
where no grass of any kind will continue to thrive for 
any length of time. The best thing for such places is 
to sow some quick growing grasses that will cover the 
ground and remain green until late in the summer. 
Ground that is heavily shaded has to be reseeded each 
year. We have a mixture of grasses which are the most 
suitable for this purpose. Sow about 1 lb. to 200 sq. It. 
1 lb. 25 cts.; 2 lbs. 45 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.00; Prepaid.
