Best Quality Lawn Seed for Permanent Lawns 
No one thing so adds to the interest and charm of a landscape as a well proportioned 
lawn. Once a good lawn is established, it is quite simple to add flowers and shrubs in 
pleasing combination, but without grass it is impossible to secure the restful effect so much 
desired in any scheme of planting. 
The first thing of importance in making a permanent lawn, is to have good soil that holds 
moisture well and has sufficient drainage so as not to become soggy. 
Once the soil is well prepared, the all-important thing is to secure a high quality lawn 
seed. One that is made up of the proper proportions of the best perennial grasses. The 
cheap lawn seeds contain mostly annual grasses. These look fine for the first season 
but disappear during the first winter, leaving your lawn thin and patchy. We do not 
handle the cheap mixtures. Remember, cheap seed means wasted efforts and a poor lawn. 
For new lawns use 5 lbs. of seed for 1000 square feet. 
SUNNY MIXTURE 1 lb. 50c; 5 Ibs. $2.30; 10 lbs. $4.40; 25 lbs. $10.50; 100 Ibs. $40.00 
SHADY MIXTURE 1 lb. 55c: 5 ibs. $2.50; 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 Ibs. $12.00; 100 lbs. $45.00 
If you have terraces or other spots where it is difficult to get seed started, have it sodded 
with our thick Blue Grass Sod. Price 6c. per square foot.

GUARANTEE 
We guarantee every item to be true to name and to arrive in good condition. We make 
good all errors, but insist on prompt notification. In no case, however, will we be re- 
sponsible for more than the initial cost of plants involved. 
Where we do the planting we assume a limited responsibility for the successful growth 
of the plants. There is an expectant mortality in all transplanting, and the customer is 
expected to assume this loss if he does the planting, as the causes are usually beyond 
our control.
