THEILMANN’S LAWN GRASS 
This is. by far the best mixture of grasses offered for 
the purpose of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is 
prepared by a careful blending of different grasses to 
produce a thick, velvety appearance so much sought after. 
Many of the choicest lawns in our city have been seeded 
down with this mixture and have proven satisfactory. 
THEILMANN’S “SHADY PLACE” GRASS 
We have a special lawn mixture for shady places. The 
grasses used in making this mixture are only those that 
are well adapted for growing in the shade, and as it blends 
well with our regular LAWN GRASS MIXTURE, it may 
be used on those portions of the lawn which are shaded 
by trees, buildings, etc. 
White Clover—Valuable for lawns and pastures. 
Fancy Red Top—Cleaned from chaff. 
Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa pratensis). Thrives on a va- 
riety of soils. Valuable for lawns.

velvety surface.

lawns, meadows and pastures.
