HOW MUCH SEED WILL 
CUSTOMERS NEED? 
A difficult situation arises if you are unable 
to advise your customer how much seed will 
be required to sow a given area. It should 
be valuable to keep the following information 
in mind. 
As a general rule you can figure that the 
average suburban home, walks, gardens, 
etc., occupies about 1/3 of the area. As a 
usual practice, clover seed should be sown 
separately. It is heavier than other seeds 
in a mixture and will settle to the bottom and 
gives uneven sowing. If present in the mix- 
ture, mix well before sowing. 
We suggest seed be sown at the rates given 



immediately below. Rate Per 1000
