Lawn Grass Seed 
Our Fancy Park, Philipps Special and Shady Nook Lawn Grass Mix- 
tures that are so popular with the landscape gardeners are composed of 
the very best and cleanest grass seed obtainable, no chaff or filler being 
used. And while the cost per pound may be greater, the cost per lawn 
will be smaller, as heavy sound, clean seed mixtures of good germination 
will go much farther than seed that runs thirty to fifty per cent chaff. 
And in using our grasses you are assured of the minimum amount of 
weeds, and the maximum in lawn perfection.

a variety of strong-rooted grasses, is most suitable. Per lb. 60c; 5 Ib.
