MAKE NEW LAWNS, REPAIR OLD ONES NOW 
Fall-Sown Grass Seed Makes 
Best Lawns 
Grass seed naturally self-sows itself in the Fall and 
germinates better at this time. An added advantage 
is that weeds being annuals are rapidly dying in the 
Fall, giving the grasses a better chance to become es¬ 
tablished. Next Summer the grass then strongly en¬ 
trenched will make it hard for weeds to get started. 
The roots of grass in the Fall go deeper on account of 
approaching Winter, giving greater permanence, too. 
Seeding can be done just as late in the Fall as the 
ground can be prepared and the seed sown, even if it 
may lie dormant until early Spring. 
Fall is not only the best time to start a new lawn but 
also to renovate an old lawn. This is especially true 
of a lawn shaded by trees. There are several weeks in 
the Fall and again in the early Spring when no leaves 
are on the trees and the grass has a chance to gain 
good headway. 
Fall seeding and fertilizing are sure to produce the 
ideal lawn. 
BARR’S ‘‘SUNNYSIDE” 
Lawn Seed Mixture 
This is a combination of the most desirable perma¬ 
nent grasses; dwarf, close growing, fine leaved, good 
color, lasting qualities. As the chief Ingredient of a 
good lawn is superfine Kentucky Blue Grass there is a 
large proportion of this ideal grass in this mixture. No 
Timotlay nor Rye nor coarse-bladed annual grasses are 
used to cheapen this mixture. It will germinate quick¬ 
ly and provide a neat, permanent lawn. Besides the 
Kentucky Blue Grass the other varieties included are 
fine-leaved perennial grasses and some Chewings Fes¬ 
cue, a higher priced grass that holds weeds in check 
much better than other varieties. 
1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.65; 10 lbs., $5.00; 15 lbs., $7.25; 
25 lbs., $11.75; 100 lbs., $45.00; prepaid. 
BARR’S ‘‘SHADY SIDE” 
Lawn Seed Mixture 
Composed of shade loving permanent varieties of fine¬ 
leaved grasses—no Timothy nor Ryegrass. Included 
are fine-leaved perennial grasses and varieties of grass¬ 
es including Poa trivialis, which have proven best 
adapted for situations of a difficult nature due to shade. 
Feed lawns under trees heavily three times a year— 
Spring, early Summer and Fall. Failure under trees is 
due more to competition of tree roots than shade, and 
plenty of feed gives both grass and trees a chance to 
exist. 
1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.85; 10 lbs., $5.50; 15 lbs., $8.00;
