X-L MIXED LAWN GRASS SEED 
(HORMONIZED WITH ROOTONE) 
For a close, heavy turf of permanent grasses, sow X-L Lawn Grass according to our directions. Composed of heavy, 
plump seeds of deep rooted perennials that withstand winter killing and summer heat. This mixture contains White 
Dutch Clover and quick growing grasses to serve as a cover crop. Absolutely no timothy, orchard, or other coarse 
grasses usually included in lawn mixtures. Thorough seiving coupled with air washing eliminates chaff, inert 
matter and weeds. 
X-L Grass Seed is treated with Rootone (Hormonized). The first large planting of Rootone-treated Grass Seed was 
made at the New York World’s Fair. Here visitors were astounded that such thick turf could be produced in such 
a short time. We have been treating X-L Grass Seed with Rootone for two years and customers have been sur- 
prised at the appearance the first season. Bluegrass requires 28 days for complete germination. Rootone reduces 
the germination period to 15 days and develops stronger roots. The other grasses and clover are acted upon in 
like manner. 
Per lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.75: 10 lbs., $5.25; 25 lbs., $12.50, postpaid. 

GREENVIEW LAWN GRASS 
(NOT HORMONIZED) 
Clean, quick growing grasses. No coarse grasses such as 
timothy, meadow fescue, etc. No inert matter or weeds. 
Lawns planted with this mixture will produce good turfs 
but will not withstand trampling nor be as permanent as 
our X-L Mixture. 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.15; 10 lbs., $4.00; 25 
lbs., $9.50, postpaid. 
ECONOMY LAWN MIXTURE 
(NOT HORMONIZED) 
Especially formulated for dry land lawns, but adaptable 
to all places where a quick, even grass is desired at an 
extremely low initial cost. Economy Lawn Grass produces 
a somewhat coarser turf than X-L and Greenview, but does 
not contain clumps of grass or bunches of turf as is found 
in many mixtures selling at the same price. Absolutely no 
Timothy, Meadow Fescue or similar grasses used. Inert less 
than 5%. Compare nationally sold mixtures sold at higher 
prices containing from 10 to 18% inert. Per Ib., 35c; 10 lbs. 
or more, 32c lb. Add postage. 
X-L WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Choice fancy seed. Guaranteed pure and free of Alsike 
Clover, Dodder, and other weeds. Per Y4 Ib., 68c; per Ib., 
$1.20, postpaid. 
X-L SHADY NOOK LAWN GRASSES 
Developed especially for places where it is difficult to get 
a stand with regular grass mixtures due to excessive shade. 
1 lb., 75c; 5 lbs., $3.50, postpaid. 
X-L REGISTERED CREEPING BENT 
To guard against adulteration of Bent grasses with Red 
Top (the seeds are scarcely distinguishable) purchase only 
registered seed. Bent Grass forms a heavy turf that is 
impregnable to weeds and wear. Requires frequent cutting 
and feeding with ammonium sulphate. 1 Ib., $1.25; 2 Ibs., 
$2.35; 5 lbs., $5.75, postpaid.

X-L KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS

color forms the basis of all good mixtures adapted to Mon- 
tana. Our seed is extra heavy and clean. 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., 
$2.00; 10 lbs., $3.75, postpaid. 
How to Make a Beautiful Lawn 
1. Spade to a depth of at least six inches and pulverize 
thoroughly. 
2. Apply Vigoro at the rate of four pounds per 100 square 
feet. This assures an ample supply of all of the elements 
plants must get from the soil. 
3. Work the Vigoro into the soil with a rake. Wait one day 
before seeding. 
4. Sow our grass seed at the rate of four to five pounds 
per 1,000 square feet. If you sow by hand, sow half 
lengthwise and half crosswise. 
5. Roll to imbed seed and insure perfect contact between 
seed and soil. A tamper or wide board can be used 
on small areas when a roller is not available. 
6. Water thoroughly, using a very fine spray. Continue to 
water daily until seed germination is complete—three to 
four weeks—then water as needed but always water 
thoroughly. Light sprinkling encourages shallow roots.

Sirs: 
We bought our grass seed from you and it surely grew 
well. We have a very nice lawn.
