ASTORIA BENT. This strain of Bent differs from the Seaside 
variety in that it does not send out stolons, but that it spreads 
underground, sending up many rootstalks that produce a 
splendid turf. The growth is upright, of fine texture and is a 
richer green than Seaside Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Sow 1 pound to 250-300 
square feet. 
SEASIDE CREEPING BENT. Coos County strain, is the true 
creeping bent. The plant is dwarf and it multiplies rapidly by 
sending out runners in all directions; from these, new plants 
are produced, and these in turn grow more runners. The turf 
becomes matted, and if damaged it heals over promptly. Sow 
] pound to 250-300 square feet. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE. Used extensively on putting greens, fair- 
ways and tees on golf courses, and does well on any kind of 
soil. It also produces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1 pound to 
150 square feet. 
CREEPING or RED FESCUE. Fine, round bladed grass, excellent 
for lawns. Slightly reddish at base. Fine for shade. Hardy. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. Makes an excellent lawn of a dark 
green color. It forms a fine mat, with care and water makes 
one of the best lawns. Sow | pound to 100-150 square feet. 
SHADY BLUE GRASS (Poa Trivialis). An ideal perennial grass 
for shady spots which is closely related to Kentucky Blue 
Grass, but somewhat finer and softer in texture. It is a creeper 
with an apple-green color. Requires plenty of water. Sow | 
pound to 150-200 square feet. 
SHADY LAWN MIXTURE. This grass is especially adapted for 
growing in very shady places or near buildings where other 
grasses will not grow. If you have a shady, barren place, try 
our Shady Lawn Mixture. Sow 1 pound to 150-200 square 
feet. 

WHITE DWARF CLOVER. Very low growing sort, principally 
used in poor ground to give a green color, many like it in 
lawns, especially where grass does not do well. Sow 1. pound 
to 300 square feet. 
THREE WAY LAWN MIXTURE

much heavier percentage of Astoria Bent grass. Rootone is

75c; 5 pound lots 70c per pound. Sow 5-10 pounds per 1000 
square feet, 1 Ib. to 10x20 or 10x10 feet, depending upon the

HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN 
Spade the ground as deep as possible and turn several times 
to see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good com- 
mercial fertilizer. Sheep guano or peat moss will add humus 
and improve the seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so 
the ground will settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand 
for about two weeks, watering from time to time so the weed 
seeds will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling 
unevenly, and then rake the surface lightly. Sow the seed so 
as to cover the ground thoroughly, and then cover it lightly 
with soil. Roll again so as to press the seed in firmly. If you 
have no roller, use boards and tramp on them so as to Ba the 
ground firmly; but a roller is preferred. ; 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according to 
the weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the ground 
should be covered lightly with peat after the seed has been rolled, 
so as to retain the moisture. New lawns should not be allowed 
to dry out, not even for a half day. For the first 15 days the 
lawn should be watered twice a day if necessary. A lawn should 
be fertilized after the first cutting, and at least twice a year. 
Water well after applying. 
WARNING: Do not use the so-called rotted manure which is 
being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of wild clover 
and other weed seeds and pests. It is expensive when you take 
into consideration that a few pounds of good fertilizer is equal 
to a sack of manure. If you want a moisture-holding material 
for top-dressing use Horticultural Peat Moss; it is clean.
