You foo can have a Beautiful Lawn 
A beautiful lawn sets off your flowers and enhances the beauty of your 
garden as nothing else will and is a real necessity if you want your house 
and garden to look its best. Contrary to popular belief it is not difficult to 
have a beautiful lawn, but it does require a little preparation and care. 
The first and most important thing to do is to use good seed. Harris’ 
Lawn Grass Mixtures are carefully blended of the finest quality grass 
seeds. Each mixture is made up from tested formulas and contains only 
Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture ~ 
Now Better Than Ever! 
Composed of the pure seeds of those fine leaved and deep rooted grasses 
which we have found by long experience to be the most desirable and best 
suited for lawns. They are the finest seed of these varieties which can be 
obtained and are all tested for purity and germination before being mixed 
together. None are used which do not come up to the highest standard of 
excellence. These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought 
well and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years. We do not 
“load” our mixtures with cheap, bulky seed or numerous varieties which 
have “high hat” names but little permanent value. 
We have now made this famous mixture better than ever including the 
proper proportion of Wild White Clover, which is a beautiful tenacious 
low growing type that shows scarcely any blossoms, and blends well with 
other grasses. 
Our seed is so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 
30 lbs. instead of 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn grass seed. 
Sow about 1 lb. to 300 to 400 square feet. 
1 Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $3.35; 10 Lbs. $6.50; 25 Lbs. $15.00; 
50 Lbs. $29.50; 100 Lbs. $58.00; transportation paid. 
Note—Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Mixture contains Wild 
White Clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn. 
However, if you do not desire clover we can furnish the seed with- 
out Wild White Clover at the same price. Ask for Harris’ 
Superfine Without Clover. 

“Please send me 4 pounds Superfine lawn grass mixture, contains the 
Wild White clover seed. I have had this seed twice and I think it is the finest 
seed I ever used, the clover spread so nicely and there seems to be no weeds. 
T sowed it in the early spring and the last of July I mowed it once, with the 
lawn mower, it has wintered better than any we ever used, and our winters 
are hard on grass.” Mrs. Clarence Groesbeck, 
91 W. Pine St., Gloversville, N. Y. Dec. 30, 1942. 
the finest seed obtainable of those grasses best suited to the purpose for 
which the mixture is intended. Our fine lawn mixtures are free from 
timothy and other cheap and unsuitable grasses. 
You want your lawn to last for a number of years—sow only the best 
seed. If you want really good seed we have it, but if you want ordinary 
“Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner store. 
Harris’ English Blend 
Superior Mixture for Fine Turf—Contains Bent Grass 
This blend is designed to make a lawn of thick velvety turf which will 
remain green and attractive throughout the dry summer months and be 
free from objectionable blossoms. It contains Bent Grass and also the 
proper proportion of Wild White Clover, and will thrive on close cutting. 
It is also especially fine for large expanses of lawn which ordinarily do not 
get as much care in watering and fertilizing as is usually given smaller 
plots. Wild White Clover which we have included in this mixture is 80 
often found in the finest English lawns, because of its aggressiveness, very 
sparse blossoming habit and ability to blend with the companion grasses. 
It actually aids their growth on account of the large amount of nitrogen 
it puts in the soil. Do not sow too thick. Use 1 lb. to 500 or 600 square feet 
on new seeding. 
1 Lb. 85c; 2 Lbs. $1.65; 5 Lbs. $4.00; 10 Lbs. $7.70; 25 Lbs. $18.50; 
50 Lbs. $36.00; 100 Lbs. $70.00 transportation paid. 
Bent Grass Mixture 
Specially Blended for Fine Lawns 
With this mixture and a little extra care you can have a putting green 
on your own lawn, equal to the best golf greens. 
This is the mixture for the person who wants a very fine leaved velvety 
lawn and is willing to take the time and trouble to get it. It is comprised 
entirely of seed of the Agrostis species; that is, the best Bent grass varie- 
ties together with the finest recleaned Red Top. These varieties require 
more plant food than ordinary grass to do their best and should therefore 
be sowed on well fertilized soil and the ground enriched by the regular 
application of a good fertilizer. Keep the grass cut short and roll regu- 
larly. Fertilize lightly (2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft.) two or three times during 
the season and water copiously. Sow about 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. 
tae $1.20; 2 Lbs. $2.30; 5 Lbs. $5.60; 10 Lbs. $11.00 transportation 
paid.
