A Beautiful Lawn Is An Asset To Any Property 
LAWN SEED is the greatest mystery in the world to most home owners who cannot make head 
or tail out of the complex formulas printed on Lawn Seed labels. They are not meant to be confusing 
but most people do not know which grasses are desirable and which undesirable in a lawn. One 
pound of Lawn Seed is required for 150 square feet but heavier seeding is desirable. 
In general, the finest grasses for permanent, velvety lawns are Kentucky Blue Grass, Chewings 
Fescue or any of the Bent family. WHITE CLOVER may be added if desired but the most attractive 
lawns are made without it. The higher the percentage of these grasses the better your lawn will be. 
However, these are slow to establish themselves and other quick-growing grasses must be added 
to act as nurse grasses. ‘These grow rapidly and furnish shade and cover until the more permanent 
seeds have established themselves. The two best are RED TOP and RYE GRASS but the finest 
lawns are made with mixtures containing not more than 30% of these. 
For special purpeses Poa Trivialis and Chewings Fescue are essential for shady locations or for 
poor and sandy soils while Canada Blue Grass is useful for terraces and steep banks. 
After you have made certain that the desirable seeds are in your mixture check the percentage 
of inert matter. ‘This is dead seed or seed hulls or chaff and it is material you pay for but do not use. 
It is completely waste and the smaller the percentage of waste the better your mixture. The weed 
content should be small, of course, but more weed seeds are present in your soil per square foot than are 
ever found in fifty pounds of decent Lawn Seed. 
The State of Connecticut has set up standards for Lawn Seed and when these blends are used a 
fine lawn is assured. We are licensed to offer these blends which are: Gold Seal; certified to be of the 
highest quality; Blue Seal of high quality; and Red Seal; of good quality. We also offer a GOLD 
SEAL ALL-BENT FORMULA for putting or bowling greens, SHADY PLACE for deeply shaded 
areas, TERRACE SOD for steep embankments and a special formula for Poor or Sandy Soils. 
We also present two blends where price is a larger consideration; ELM TREE and EVER- 
GREEN. These are both excellent blends for competitive purposes and will prove satisfactory for 
the average lawn. They simply do not contain as large a percentage of the finer bladed, more de- 
sirable grasses nor is their purity quite as high as in the State Seal mixtures. We also list a complete 
variety of all separate turf grasses should you desire to grow these alone. We invite your questions 
and problems. 
We solicit inquiries from builders and contractors who require special blends for unusual condi- 
tions or whose problem is the necessity for a quick green cover on rather poor soil. If you are building 
a new home, ask your contractor to specify HART’S SEEDS for your lawn — because a fine lawn 
always adds to the value of your property.
