Forbes Lawn Seed for Every Need 
The best in seeds and care is essential to have a fine lawn. Forbes quality, known the country 
over, has set a high lawn standard, and Forbes service Is at your disposal at all times. 
Many grades of lawn grass seeds of varying qualities are offered for sale. Many contain 
seeds of worthless character, chaff, and weed seeds. Often a single variety or a blend of two 
grasses is sold as lawn seed. The best lawn is produced from a mixture of several natural grasses. 
To be of greatest value, these grasses must be properly proportioned in the mixture so that 
there is enough of each to serve its specific purpose. 
The mixtures we offer, made up from special formule, are the result of years of experiment 
and of practical tests. Each mixture will produce a turf ideally suited to each purpose.

fie, even, rich green appearance and a permanency not usually found. Known for its high quality, it is 
higher priced than ordinary store mixtures but cheapest in the long run. It contains only heavy, recleaned,

BE SURE TO FEED AND SEED YOUR LAWN 
The great interest in Victory Vegetable Gardens may tempt you to neglect your 
lawn. Don’t do this. To have a lasting, green lawn replenish it with lawn seed and plant 
food each year. As all suitable commercial fertilizers must be used only for vegetable 
gardens, feed your lawn with Bone-Meal, Bovung, Cow-Manure, Driconure or Sheep- 
Manure, all of which are in fair supply. See page 16.
