GRASS SEED 
Early for Better Lawns 
Barr’s Lawn Seed Mixtures have been designed 
jjrimarily for the purpose of providing a lawn mantle 
that is at once permanent and quick starting. They 
are guaranteed to be entirely free of Fall or Crab 
Grass seed. Recleaning by modern machinery makes 
Barr’s Lawn Mixtures noted for having under one- 
half of one per cent of non-noxious weed seeds. 
Freedom from chaff makes these mixtures go twice 
as far in seeding. They test especially high in ger¬ 
mination, too. This provides a thick stand from the 
beginning which is essential to assist in holding 
weeds in check. 
The earlier you can sow grass seed in the spring 
the better. One pound of grass seed will sow 150 
square feet of lawn. After seeding keep the ground 
continually moist until the grass appears. After grass 
has started, water heavily at intervals during dry 
periods.

Lawn Seed Mixture 
Tills is a combination of the most desirable per¬ 
manent grasses; dwarf, close-growing, fine-leaved, 
good color, lasting qualities. As the chief ingredient of 
a good lawn is superfine Kentucky Blue Grass there is a 
large proportion of this ideal grass in this mixture. No 
Timothy nor Rye nor coarse-bladed annual grasses 
are used to cheapen this mixture. It will germinate 
quickly and provide a neat, permanent lawn. Besides 
the Kentucky Blue Grass the other varieties included 
are fine-leaved perennial grasses and some Chewing’s 
Fescue, a higher-priced grass that holds weeds in check 
much better than other varieties.

This is a splendid mixture of good grasses for average 
conditions of soil and sunshine. It has a large propor¬ 
tion of Kentucky Blue Grass (approximately 45 per 
cent) and other grasses for a good quick effect. Com¬ 
pare this with analysis on other brands, and you will 
see what a great value you are receiving in Barr’s 
“Green Mantle’’ Lawn Seed Mixture. 
Will give the lawn an enduring velvety, deep green 
mantle, with freedom from weeds, as it is very free 
from weed seeds.

25 lbs. $7.00; 100 lbs. $27.00; prepaid. 
Composed of shade-loving permanent varieties of 
fine-leaved grasses—no Timothy nor Ryegrass. In¬ 
cluded are fine-leaved perennial grasses and varieties 
of grasses, including Poa trivialis, which have proved 
best adapted for situations of a diflicult nature due to 
shade. 
Feed lawns under trees heavily three times a year— 
spring, early summer and fall. Failure under trees is 
due more to competition of tree roots than shade, and 
plenty of feed gives both grass and trees a chance to 
exist.
