Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed

moisture in the soil. This mixture will thrive better than any other and is the best possible for under 
trees. Water frequently until grass is well started,

Terrace Lawn Grass Seed 
The grasses used for a sloping bank or terrace must have such roots as will withstand the washing caused by 
heavy rains. This mixture forms a network of densely matted roots of deep-rooting character. These deep 
roots will better withstand drought during the summer as they reach down below the surface dryness. After 
seeding, cover with a little soil and firm down to keep from washing out. On steep slopes it is sometimes best 
to cover after seeding with sheet burlap, pegged down.
