better lawn at lower cost! 
Dear Friend: 
Did your lawn, like thousands of others, suffer severely from the 
unusual weather conditions that prevailed last summer? Did crabgrass 
infest. your lawn and mar its beauty; did brown patch and other fungus 
diseases make it spotty and unsightly; did the severe drought destroy 
your turf? 
Right now is the time to plan for a more beautiful lawn this sum- 
mer, but before you do so read, in the enclosed folder, about the 
important differences in annual and perennial lawn grasses. 
If you have had the trouble and expense of re-making your lawn year. 
after year, lay your disappointments largely to one thing - a seed mix- 
ture loaded with annual varieties. For some grasses are annuals and some 
are perennials. If you plant your lawn with the seed of a cheap annual 
grass you are sure to have a poor lawn the next year that needs re-seed- 
ing just as surely as a farmer's wheat field has to be sown every year. 
No amount of water and fertilizer will bring two crops of wheat from one 
lot of seed and exactly the same is true of annual grasses. 
DRUMCLIFF Seed is what you need for real lawn-growing because it is 
a mixture of the finest seeds of PERENNIAL varieties carefully selected, 
especially cleaned, and tested for quality, purity and germination. It 
develops a deep, heavy root system that stays alive and sends up a thick 
carpet of green grass year after year. 
The surest way to have a fine lawn at the lowest cost is to plant a 
perennial grasses and avoid the expense of frequent or even yearly re- 
making of your lawn. For a strong stand of grass, order your seed right 
now and plant it at the first favorable opportunity. 
Consult the chart at the bottom of the enclosed order blank to find 
out just what quantity of seed you need, then let us have your order 
promptly. 
Send no money with your order unless you wish to. We will be glad 
to ship you the seed you require ON TEN DAY OPEN ACCOUNT with the under- 
standing that you will remit promptly after the shipment reaches you and 
you have an opportunity to examine it. With the seed you will receive, 
FREE, a copy of our booklet "LAWN SUCCESS" containing valuable suggestions 
for building a new lawn or improving an old one. 
Yours sincerely,
