LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
SELECTED BY A 
“HOME” SEEDSMAN 

BEST LAWN MIXTURE — Our se- 
lected lawn mixture is the very finest 
combination of high quality seeds... 
a marvelous mixture that years of ex- 
perimenting has proved to be safe and 
sound. It produces a lawn that is like 
a carpet of green velvet ... smooth, 
even, and thick. All the grasses in it 
are fine-bladed and deep-rooting. 

SHADE MIXTURE—Wherever shade 
makes it difficult to obtain a good 
lawn, our special shade mixture is 
heartily recommended. Excellent qual- 
ity, shade-enduring grasses and clov- 
ers . .. blended into a mixture that 
will give surprising results, 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS — Pro- 
duces a deep dark green lawn of close, 
thick turf. Maintains its green color 
until late in fall. Roots are deep, and 
plants very hardy. 
WHITE CLOVER—Very desirable in 
lawn mixtures because of its rapid, 
low growth and creeping stems. Valu- 
able as a green cover for poor ground. 
Very hardy. 

ALFALFA 
Rich in proteins and lime—hence a 
great feed crop for dairy cows, beef 
cattle, hogs, sheep. A marvelous soil 
builder and soil restorer, too, when 
properly inoculated. 
We carry a full range of selected 
Alfalfa varieties, all well suited to 
the needs of this territory, and of 
the highest quality, 
CLOVERS 
MEDIUM RED—The most valuable of the 
Clover family. Makes two crops the second 
year. Does not exhaust the soil, but en- 
riches it, 
SWEET, WHITE BLOSSOM—Most abun- 
dant growth of any of the Clovers. Makes 
a pasture earlier than other crops and will 
keep stock in good condition until winter 
regardless of heat and drought. Use to build 
up worn out fields. 
ALSIKE—Very hardy. Does better on moist 
land than other varieties of Clover. Suitable 
for hay or pasture. When sown with other 
grasses, forms a thick undergrowth and 
greatly increases the yield. Frequently sown 
both with Medium Red Clover and with Tim- 
othy, and the quality of hay thus produced 
is excellent. Finer and more leafy than 
Medium Red Clover and cattle prefer it. 
OTHER CLOVERS—Space doesn’t permit 
listing of all our offerings of Clover. We 
have all the varieties common to our section, 
each one selected and handled with expert 
care and caution, so as to assure you the 
top yields and best quality. 
GRASSES 
ORCHARD GRASS—Hardy, quick-growing. 
Gives a large yield of excellent hay. May 
be cut several times during season. Not 
recommended for lawn use. 
RYE GRASS, DOMESTIC — Fast-growing 
one-year grass. Makes a full crop, yields 
abundantly, and matures all in one season. 
Helpful as a nurse crop to other grasses. 
SUDAN—The ideal emergency hay and pas- 
ture crop for late planting. Never plant un- 
til ground is thoroughly warmed, 
30 N 
RYE GRASS—A rapid grower, valu- 
able in lawn mixtures demanding 
quick effect. Not long lasting. Does 
well on moist soils. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE—Widely used 
for putting greens, fairways and tees. 
Very hardy, produces thick, durable 
turf, even under unfavorable condi- 
tions. 
RED TOP—Particularly suitable for 
wet, low spots, as it stands wet 
weather, or even overflowing, better 
than other grasses. Also does well on 
almost any good, rich soil. Often 
thrives where blue grass fails. How- 
ever, it should not be considered as 
competitive with blue grass, but as a 
good supplement for it. Particularly 
useful in mixtures for restraining the 
growth of weeds. 
BENT—Makes a thick, dense turf on 
heavy, sour soils and being of a semi- 
creeping habit will recover the ground 
after injury. Unexcelled for fine 
lawns and putting greens, Will stand 
quite-close mowing,
