A Beautiful Lawn is an Asset to Any Property 
LAWN SEED is the greatest mystery in the world to most home owners who cannot make head or tail 
out of the complex formulas printed on Lawn Seed labels. They are not meant to be confusing but most 
people do not know which grasses are desirable or undesirable in a lawn. One pound of Lawn Seed 
is required for 150 square feet but heavier seeding is desirable. : 
In general, the finest grasses for permanent, velvety lawns are Kentuckly Blue Grass, Chewings Fescue 
or any of the Bent family. WHITE CLOVER may be added if desired but the most attractive lawns are 
made without it. The higher the percentage of these grasses the better your lawn will be. 
However, these are slow to establish themselves and other quick-growing grasses must be added.to act 
as nurse grasses. These grow rapidly and furnish shade and cover until the more permanent seeds have 
established themselves. The two best are RED TOP and RYE GRASS but the finest lawns are made 
with mixtures containing not more than 30% of these. 
For special purposes Poa Trivalis and Chewings Fescue are essential for shady locations or for poor sue 
sandy soils while Canada Blue Grass is useful for terraces and steep banks. 
After you have made certain that the desirable seeds are in your mixture check the percentage of inert 
matter. This is dead seed or seed hulls or chaff and it is material you pay for but do not use. It is completely 
waste and the smaller the percentage of waste the better your mixture. The weed content should be small, 
of course, but more weed seeds are present in your soil per square foot than are ever found in fifty pounds 
of decent Lawn Seed.

for Lawn Seed and when these blends are used a 
fine lawn is assured.We are licensed to offer these Lawn Seed Blends

We also present two blends where price is a 
larger consideration; ELM TREE and EVER- 
GREEN. These are both excellent blends for 
competitive purposes and will prove satisfactory 
for the average lawn. They simply do not contain 
as large a percentage of the finer bladed, more de- 
sirable grasses nor is their purity quite as high as 
in the State Seal mixtures. We also list a com- 
plete variety of all separate turf grasses should 
you desire to grow these alone. We invite your 
questions and problems. 
We solicit inquiries from builders and con- 
tractors who require special blends for unusual 
conditions or whose problem is the necessity for a 
quick green cover on rather poor soil. If you are 
building a new home, ask your contractor to 
specify HART’S SEEDS for your lawn—because 
a fine lawn always adds to the value of your 
property.
