Forbes Lawn Seed for Every Need 
The best lawn is produced from a seed mixture of several grasses, each in the proper proportion 
to serve its purpose. We blend the mixtures offered below from heavy, recleaned live seeds in the 
proportions which years of experience have proved to be best for this locality. 
For quick results sow 1 pound per 100 square feet. Half that amount 
gives good results but takes longer. Planting directions with every bag.
