Forbes Lawn Grass Seed for Every Need 
The best in seeds and care is essential to have a fine lawn. Forbes 
quality, known the country over, has set a high lawn standard, and Forbes 
service is at your disposal at all times. 
Many grades of lawn grass seeds of varying qualities are offered for sale. 
Many of these contain seeds of worthless character, chaff, and weed seeds. 
Often a single variety or a blend of two grasses is sold as lawn seed. 
The best lawn is produced from a mixture of several natural grasses. 
To be of greatest value, these grasses must be properly proportioned in the 
mixture so that there is enough of each to serve its specific purpose. 
The mixtures we offer on this and the following page, are made up from 
special formulae. These are the result of years of experiment and of practical 
tests. Each mixture will produce a turf ideally suited to each purpose. 
The “Forbes” Lawn Grass Seed 
A rapid-growing combination of grasses which produces in from four to six 
weeks, a permanent lawn capable of withstanding heavy wear. It contains seeds 
of five dwarf evergreen and perennial grasses of fine lawn texture. Definite pro¬ 
portions of these are mixed very thoroughly. The resultant lawn has a fine, even, 
rich green appearance and a permanency not usually found. Known for its high 
quality, it is higher priced than ordinary store mixtures but cheapest in the long 
run. It contains only heavy, recleaned, live seeds, free from worthless chaff, 
timothy and weed seeds. We do not use White Clover seed in this mixture.
