MICHELL’S Reltable Grass Mixtures 


EEDING at the proper time is half the secret of success in lawn making. But on the seed 
you sow will depend success or failure. Quality in grass seed is of particular importance. 
The initial cost of the best seed is small compared with the time and Jabor of weeding and 
probable replanting which results from cheap, inferior seed. And the satisfaction derived from 
a really good lawn is immeasurable. 
Michell’s Lawn Seed has been a Jeader in high quality for over fifty years. Many of the 
better lawns in this country are the result of Michell’s seed, plus proper care. The answer lies 
in our insistence on furnishing only that seed which meets our rigid specifications of highest 
purity and germination and maximum freedom from weeds. 
Quantity to Sow for Lawns. We recommend sowing: 5 Ibs. per 1000 square feet; 150 Ibs. 
per acre on new ground without grass. In renovating established lawns, use half the above 
quantities.
