Hormone-Treated Lawn Grass Seed 
AT NO EXTRA COST 
Treated plant has close to three times the 
root strength of untreated one. 
Science has proven that Hormone-treated Grass 
Seed germinates quicker and produces a soft, lux¬ 
uriant turf that is deeper rooted and better able to 
withstand drought. It is tlie modern, scientific way 
of securing a finer, more velvety, better colored, 
stronger growing, thicker turf, and a deeper root 
system which laps lower ground levels and brings 
more food and moisture to tiie plants. 
Those wlio want the finest lawn must sow the 
finest seed. Those who sow Burgess’ Lawn Grass, 
sow the best obtainable, and when such high quality 
seed is Hormone-treated, the results are simply 
amazing. 
We use no timothy or clover in our mixtures. 
Avoid lawn mixtures which contain timothy. Tim¬ 
othy is a liay seed and produces coarse stems which 
ruin the lawn. It is used in cheap mixtures on ac¬ 
count of its low price. We supply Hormone-treated 
White Clover seed at the below quoted prices to 
those who want to sow it either separately or with 
grass seed.
