THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAWNS IN NEW ZEALAND 
ARE MADE WITH 
YATES’ LAWN GRASS SEED 
TWO ALL-PURPOSE MIXTURES 
Especially suited for private lawns in the present-day 
gardens. 
YATES’ “ SUPERFINE ” 
The formula for this mixture Is the result of many years of 
study and experience with fine lawns. It contains grasses 
that have different periods of luxuriant growth with the 
object of producing a velvety green sward all the year 
round. It will produce a deep-rooted, carpet-like turf that 
will stand continuous close cutting. Is undoubtedly the 
finest mixture made, irrespective of the cost or the Indivi¬ 
dual grasses. 
Per lb., 2/3; 71b., 2/2; 151b„ 2/1; 301b. and over, 2/- lb. 
YATES’ “ STAIGREEN ” 
This Is a mixture composed of Grasses specially adapted for 
the purpose of producing turf which retains Its rich green 
colour and velvety appearance throughout the entire summer 
and autumn. Contains some Ryegrass. Will make growth 
quicker than “Yates’ Superfine’’ mixture, but not so fine. 
This mixture does well on some of the heavier clay soils. 
Per lb., 1/9; 71b., 1/8; 151b., 1/7; 30., 1/6 lb. 
SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR SPECIAL 
PURPOSES. 
We have devoted much time, thought and money in con¬ 
ducting experiments with different grasses and mixtures, 
and as we supply seed for the principal sports grounds 
and public and private bodies throughout New Zealand, 
and keep in constant touch with them, we feel we are 
in a position to advise and solve any turf problems. The 
special mixtures below are the result of our extensive 
experience and facilities, unrivalled in the Southern 
Hemisphere. 
YATES’ “ BANK AND TERRACE ” LAWN GRASS 
A mixture of deep-rooting Grasses, which will hold the soil 
and prevent heavy rains carrying it away. We advise a 
liberal sowing of seed and manure, so that the Grasses may 
be quickly established.
