MICHELL’S RELIABLE GRASS MIXTURES 
• FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS • 
MICHELL’S SHADED LAWN SEED 
Shaded locations have often been found difficult to 
keep in grass. We have combined a mixture of grasses 
that will produce a perfect sward in the most densely 
shaded place. It must be borne in mind that too much 
shade creates sour soil, and to guard against this apply 
hydrated lime at the rate of 50 pounds to each 1000 
square feet. Bushel weighs 20 pounds. Pt. 30c.; 55c. per 
qt.; 2 qts. 95c.; $1.75 per 4 qts.; pk. $3.00; $5.75 per 
3^bus.; bus. $11.00; $50.00 per 100 lbs. 
Michell’s Seashore Lawn Seed 
The application of 3 to 4 inches of top-soil and the sub¬ 
sequent sowing of this special mixture will produce an excel¬ 
lent lawn, wonderfully suited to the conditions of climate 
and soil along the Atlantic Coast. This formula has been 
thoroughly tested at various points on the coast with highly 
satisfactory results. Bushel weighs 20 pounds. Pt. 25c.; 
45c. per qt.; 2 qts. 85c.; $1.50 per 4 qts.; pk. $2.75; $5.25 per 
V^bus.; bus. $10.00; $46.00 per 100 lbs. 
Michell’s Superior Bent Grass Mixture 
Composed chiefly of the leading varieties of Bent Grass, 
but containing a sufficient percentage of other hardier fme- 
bladed grasses to produce a lawn of putting-green texture 
but which is not as susceptible to disease and attack by 
insects as pure Bent. We recommend sowing this seed at the 
rate of 1 pound to 300 square feet. Lb. $1.00; $4.50 per 
5 lbs.; 25 lbs. $21.00; $80.00 per 100 lbs. 
Michell’s Terrace Lawn Seed 
It is usually difficult to establish turf on sharp slopes or on 
terraces. This mixture is composed of deep-rooting varieties 
particularly adapted to such conditions and will give very 
satisfactory results. Bushel weighs 20 pounds. Pt. 25c.; 
45c. per qt.; 2 qts. 85c.; $1.50 per 4 qts.; pk. $2.75; $5.25

Shaded Lawn 
The importance of a healthy, well-kept 
lawn as a setting for the home and a reflec¬ 
tion of the refinement within, is a factor very 
often overlooked. Careful selection of seed 
is a prime consideration, and since this item 
represents but a small percentage of the total 
cost of lawn-building and maintenance, it is 
essential that you get seed of proved quality. 
In the matter of grass seed, the user must 
rely wholly on the reputation of the seller. 
Purity, freedom from weed seeds and use¬ 
less chaff, as well as vitality and the permanency of the resultant turf—all 
contribute to the value of a lawn mixture, but none of these points may be 
determined by the average person until considerable effort, expense, and 
time have been invested in the lawn. We call your attention to our experi¬ 
ence of almost fifty years with turf grasses on the finest estates and golf 
courses in the East. Large volume places us in a position to offer highest 
quality seed of the latest crop, direct from the most reliable sources, both in 
this country and abroad. Thorough recleaning by modern methods elimi¬ 
nates to the highest degree, weed seeds and chaff. It is this seed that we 
offer in our various mixtures or separately. 
A quick-growing mixture producing a permanent sod 
somewhat tough and heavy but very satisfactory in ap¬ 
pearance. Developed especially for cemetery work and a 
popular favorite with many of the large burial parks. Bushel 
weighs 20 pounds. Pt. 25c.;45c. per qt.; 2 qts. 85c.; $1.50 per 4 
qts.; pk. $2.25; $4.25 per 3^bus.; bus. $8.00; $36.50per 100lbs.
