A wonderful mixture that is the result of years of experi¬ 
menting. It is especially prepared by us from the highest 
quality seeds that can be produced. It makes a smooth, green, 
velvety lawn with a thick bottom, free from common grasses 
which are inclined to produce clumps or knots. Only the very 
finest varieties of the most suitable grasses for making an 
even, thick mass of grass are used in this mixture. The vari¬ 
ous grasses composing this well-balanced blend are fine- 
bladed and deep rooting, sure to produce the best results 
under average conditions of soil and climate. It is all plump, 
heavy seed, free from chaff or weed seeds. Sow one pound for 
a plot 10 by 20 feet (200 square feet); 100 to 150 pounds of seed 
are required to sow one acre.
