LAWN GRASS SEED 
GRASS SEED SENT POSTPAID 
Staffel's Quick Bermuda Grass 
The only successful spring and summer lawn grass that stands Texas 
sun. With proper care you can have a green lawn all summer. To 
grow Bermuda Grass successfully prepare your soil by spading, and 
mix one-half pound Bermuda seed with four quarts of fine dirt or sand. 
Sow on 1,000 square feet. Bermuda grass must be kept moist until 
germination in warm weather; it requires ten days to germinate. Be 
sure to plant Staffel's 99% Pure Fancy Bermuda grass seed. Lb., 75c; 
10 lbs., $6.00. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
America's standard lawn grass. Sow in fall and mix two parts White 
Dutch Clover and eight parts Kentucky Blue Grass. Blue Grass is a 
little slow in germinating, and will last about a year. Before sowing be 
sure to use Staffel's Lawn Fertilizer at the rate of 25 lbs. to a plot 
20x50. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50. 
Carpet Grass 
On public parks, golf courses, and lawns it makes a thick, leafy sod 
that improves with close cutting. It may be grown wherever the tem¬ 
perature does not fall below 10 degrees. It is easily eradicated by 
plowing. Sow 10 lbs. to the acre for pasture; 20 lbs. for lawn from 
early spring until July. Culture: Barely cover seed, water twice daily. 
Plant from May to September. Lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $6.00. 
White Dutch Clover 
Grows exceptionally well in shady places. For best results mix with 
English Rye, one pound to four pounds English Rye is sufficient for 
1,000 square feet, 20x50. Lb., 75c; 10 lbs., $6.50. 
English Rye Grass 
Is largely sown by landscape gardeners for winter lawn on Bermuda 
sod. English Rye during winter presents a beautiful appearance, being 
a vivid green and as the Bermuda, during April and May, makes its 
appearance, it overgrows the English Rye, causing the latter to decay 
and act as a fertilizer to the existing grass. Sow from September to 
March, 5 lbs. to 1,000 square feet, 20x50. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 100 
lbs., $10.00. 
Italian Rye Grass 
Surpasses the Perennial Rye in earliness and lasts about a year. We 
recommend it for winter and early spring planting. 
Sow five pounds to a plot 20x50. Before sowing use Staffel's Lawn 
Fertilizer, 25 lbs. to a plot 20x50. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $2.00. 
Staffers Shady Place Mixture 
On many lawns there are unsightly, bare spots under trees, and be¬ 
tween adjoining houses where it is impossible to get the ordinary lawn 
grass to grow. This mixture is made up of short growing, fine leaved 
grasses that will give you an evergreen sod in the most densely shaded 
spots. Often the soil is sour. Before planting use 50 lbs. lime to 100 
square feet. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs , $3.00. 
Red Top 
(Fancy)—(Agrostic vulgaris) 
A variety well adapted to growing where extensive care cannot be 
expended on the lawn. The leaf-blades are narrow, becoming very thin 
with turf cultivation. It gains maximum development in early fall. Suc¬ 
ceeds in all soils. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., $3.00, postpaid. 
Use Copperas Iron Sulphate for sickly Lawn. Promotes green color; 
counteracts alkali. 5 lbs., 25c; 100 lbs., $3.00, not prepaid. 
How to Make a Lawn 
Fill in your plot with good soil, rake evenly, and to avoid foreign 
weeds and grasses water well before planting. When the weeds and 
grasses appear spade them under and again rake evenly. Much labor 
will be saved and you will have the assurance of a perfectly pure 
Bermuda Grass Lawn. After the above instructions have been followed, 
mix Bermuda Grass Seed in a water bucket of sand to assure even dis¬ 
tribution—one pound to a space 20x50 and sow. Chop seeds in with 
rake and water each day for a period of ten days in warm weather. 
Winter Lawn 
Staffel's English Rye will grow in shady places where Bermuda will 
not succeed. Spade your ground thoroughly and apply Fertilizer, 25 
pounds. Commercial 6-12-6 to a space 25x30 feet and add 1 bale Peat 
Moss. Sprinkle your English Rye at the rate of 8 pounds to 50x100 feet. 
Grass will appear in a week. 
If one desires a pretty green lawn to replace the dead looking Ber¬ 
muda Grass, plant Staffel's English Rye over the Bermuda in October. 
The following late spring the English Rye will die, the Bermuda Grass 
taking its place. English Rye will not harm Bermuda Grass.
