Sow ‘Velvet Sod’’—the best grass seed. 
OOD lawns can only follow the use of clean, pure seed of high germination test. 
"Velvet Sod” makes a lawn of lasting beauty. 
H. & O. High Test 
Seed is dependably good—selected, re-cleaned seed that is the best in quality that we can secure. 
SPECIAL MIXTURES. For general use and for “shady spots” and “terraces” we offer special seed mixtures. 
These are prepared from 
our own actual experiences of many years in gardening and lawn making. The seed varieties and the proportions used are based on 
these actual tests. 
There are no cheap annual or short-lived grasses such as Timothy in H. & O. mixtures. 
AMOUNT OF SEED TO SOW—Allow one pound of seed to every 200 square feet of new lawn area. 
For re-seeding on old lawns one pound of seed to 400 square feet will be sufficient.

“Velvet Sod” Seed 
“Velvet Sod” contains Creeping Bent seed. 
“Velvet Sod’’ Lawn Seed is an unusually high grade and care- 
ful mixture of permanent fine-bladed, rich green grasses. Specially 
prepared to meet the climatic conditions of our northern states. 
Its high weight of 25 lbs. per bushel indicates its purity and freeness 
from chaff and adulteration. We use this seed on all our own 
gardening work and recommend it as the best seed obtainable. 
1 lb. 50c; 5 Ibs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4.00; 20 lbs. $7.50 
Shady-Side Seed 
Where ordinary grasses will not grow we suggest sowing this 
special “'shady-side’’ mixture which contains varieties naturally 
tolerant to shade. (Extra attention to fertilizing and watering is very 
important under these shade conditions and a light re-seeding each 
spring helps maintain the sod,) 
1 lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $4.75; 20 lbs. $9.00. 
Terrace Seed 
On a slope the usual lawn mixtures are disappointing. For 
terraces we suggest this special mixture of spreading, deep rooting 
grasses that are resistant to drought and will thrive under unfa- 
vorable conditions. 
Tel b 5 9OCs 
5 lbs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $4.75; 20 lbs. $9.00. 
White Clover Seed 
The best imported white Dutch clover with small leaves and 
dense growth. Very often sown with other grasses, particularly 
in a new lawn, where it helps cover the ground, thicken the sod 
and so tends to crowd out weeds. 
V2 lb. 50c; 1 lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.65; 10 lbs. $9.00. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
A beautiful grass that should be the main constituent of every 
good lawn here in the north. It is sometimes used alone but as it 
develops slowly, it becomes better established if sown in a mixture. 
Our seed is a very choice grade of carefully recleaned extra heavy 
seed with an average weight of 25 lbs. per bushel. 
1 Ib. 45c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 Ibs. $3.75; 20 Ibs. $7.80. 
Red Top Grass 
Red Top is a fine-leaved grass that germinates and develops 
very quickly. It is of particular value in getting a new sod es- 
tablished. For a permanent lawn it should not be sown alone. 
1 lb. 35c; 5 ibs. $1.50; 10 Ibs. $2.90; 20 lbs. $5.40. 
Creeping Bent Grass 
Sea Side Bent—A true, unmixed creeping bent seed. It pro- 
duces a thick, low and close-growing turf for lawns and golf greens. 
(Creeping Bent sod requires often and close cutting and special 
attention in fertilizing.) 
1 lb. $1.35; 5 lbs. $6.25: 10 lbs. $12.00; 20 lbs. $22.00.
