Burpee’s Famous Lawn Grass Seed 
The best time to start your lawn, or to repair it, is during the cool 
weather of early spring or in early fall. The weather at these times is 
favorable for the development of domestic grass but unfavorable 
for most weeds and wild annual grasses. Why not plan now to 
have a luxurious lawn that will add so much to the beauty of 
your home? Our leaflet. No. 20, “How to Establish a 
Lawn,” will be sent free upon your request. Sow 1 lb. of 
grass seed to 200 sq. ft. of space; use 100 to 150 lbs. 
per acre.
