The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Seed. Price, lb. 65c; 10 lbs. $6.00. 
A wonderful mixture that is the result of years of experimenting. 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 various 
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,

LISTED BELOW 
Astoria Bent. This strain of Bent differs from the Seaside 
variety in that it does not send out stolens. but that it spreads 
underground, sending up many rootstalks that produce a 
splendid turf. The growth is upright, of fine texture and is a 
richer green than Seaside Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Sow 1 pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Seaside Creeping Bent. Coos County strain, is the true creep¬ 
ing bent. The plant is dwarf and it multiplies rapidly by send¬ 
ing out runners in all directions; from these, new plants are 
produced, and these in turn grow more runners. The turf 
becomes matted, and if damaged it heals over promptly. Sow 
1 pound to 200 square feet. 
Chewing Fesque. Used extensively on putting greens, fair¬ 
ways and tees on golf courses, and does well on any kind of 
soil. It also produces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1 pound to 
150 square feet. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Makes an excellent lawn of a dark green 
color. It forms a fine mat, with care and water makes one of 
the best lawns. Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet. 
Shady Blue Grass (Poa Trivialis). An ideal perennial grass for 
shady spots which is closely related to Kentucky Blue Grass, 
but somewhat finer and softer in texture. It is a creeper with 
an apple-green color. Requires plenty of water. Sow 1 pound 
to 200 square feet. 
Shady Lawn Mixture. This grass is especially adapted for 
growing in very shady places or near buildings where other 
grasses will not grow. If you have a shady, barren place, try 
our Shady Lawn Mixture. Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet. 
White Dwarf Clover. Very low growing sort, principally used 
in poor ground to give a green cover, many like it in lawns, 
especially where grass does not do well. Sow 1 pound to 300 
square feet. 
It is all plump, heavy seed free from chaff or weed 
) ; 100 to 150 lbs. of seed are required to sow one acre. 
Kye Grass. A rapid growing grass where quick results are 
required. It is coarser than Kentucky Blue Grass and thrives 
in poor soil. It is used as a “nurse” crop in mixtures to keep 
the lawn green while the better, slow-growing varieties are 
becoming established. Sow 1 pound to 150 square feet. 
Bed Top. A fine-bladed grass that succeeds on almost any soil, 
although it does best under moist conditions. It is used in 
almost all lawn mixtures. Should not be planted by itself unless 
specifically recommended. Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet. 
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN 
Spade the ground as deep as possible and turn several times 
to see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good com¬ 
mercial fertilizer. Sheep guano or peat moss will add humus 
and improve the seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so 
the ground will settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand 
for about two weeks, watering from time to time so the weed 
seeds will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling 
unevenly, and then rake the surface lightly. Sow the seed so 
as to cover the ground thoroughly, and then cover it lightly 
with soil. Roll again so as to press the seed in firmly. If you 
have no roller, use boards and tramp on them so as to pack 
the ground firmly, but a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according 
to the weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the 
ground should be covered lightly with peat after the seed has 
been rolled, so as to retain the moisture. New lawns should 
not be allowed to dry out. not even for a half day. For the first 
15 days the lawn should be watered twice a day if necessary. 
A lawn should be fertilized after the first cutting, and at least 
twice a year. Water well after applying. 
WARNING. Do not use the so-called rotted manure which 
is being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of wild 
clover and other weed seeds and pests. It is expensive when 
you take into consideration that a few pounds of good fertil¬ 
izer is equal to a sack of manure. If you want a moisture¬ 
holding material for top-dressing use peat; it is clean.
