EXPERIENCED GROUNDSMEN INSIST UPON LANDRETHS’ SEEDS 
23 
Athletic Seed Mixtures 
It is important to plant grasses which have long, tough roots and are able to withstand sharp spikes, 
cleats and drought. In preparing these mixtures we have consulted numerous experts and groundsmen, 
and have taken all types of soil and climate into consideration. Planting good seed is only one important 
step toward success. The knowledge of proper maintenance of sport turf is a necessity also. We can 
duplicate any seed mixture and will gladly blend your favorite formula. We sell many of the outstanding 
athletic fields of the country, and individuals may have many of these grasses duplicated for their own lawns.
