Lawn Grass Seeds 
Making a lawn is a job that most of us only have to undertake once or twice in a 
life-time. We build lawns for permanence, and for that reason we OUGHT to go 
about it with the utmost care. We want the soil carefully prepared before planting 
the seed and we want the VERY BEST SEED OBTAINABLE. Grass seed is one item 
that it NEVER pays to shop around for and buy from whoever quotes the best price. 
The BEST is always the CHEAPEST in the long run. Seed stores are required to 
submit their seeds for tests of germination and purity while other stores are not 
made to do so. For that reason some stores, who do not specialize in seeds, buy, and 
sell, the cheapest grass seed that is offered them. 
THE HIGH COST OF CHEAP SEED 
Last season Kentucky Blue Grass seed sold at prices ranging from 25c to 40c per 
pound. A cautious buyer having a large lawn to put in called every dealer in his city 
and obtained their prices. Finding one dealer who was offering grass seed for less 
than any of the others he bought from him and patted himself on the back because 
of the saving. 
Having a small quantity of seed left after the lawn was planted, just for curiosity, 
he sent a sample to the nearest Agricultural College for a germination and purity test. 
The college reported that he actually paid $2.67 per pound for the what little seed 
would grow in his “bargain” purchase. Moral—buy GOOD GRASS SEED from a 
reliable house and always ask for the best. It’s more economical to buy quality 
merchandise, whether it’s grass seed or baby buggies.
