LAWN GRASS SEED 
DUTHIE SPECIAL LAWN MIXTURE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Seed. Lb. 85c. 
A wonderful mixture resulting from years of ex- 
perience. It is especially prepared by us from the 
highest quality seeds produced. It makes a 
smooth, green, velvety lawn with a thick bottom, 
free from common grasses which are inclined to 
produce clumps or knots. Only the very finest va- 
rieties of the most suitable grasses for making an 
even, thick mass are used in this mixture. The 
various grasses composing this well-balanced 
blend are fine-bladed and deep rooting, sure to 
produce the best results under our conditions of 
soil and climate. It is all plump, heavy seed, free 
from chaff or weed seeds. Sow one pound for a 
plot 10 by 20 ft. (200 sq. ft.) ; 100 to 150 lbs. of 
seed are required to sow one acre.

LAWN SEEDS LISTED BELOW 
ASTORIA BENT. This strain of Bent differs 
from the Seaside variety in that it does not 
send out stolens, but it spreads under- 
ground, sending up many rootstalks that pro- 
duce a splendid turf. The growth is upright, 
of fine texture and is a richer green than 
Seaside Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Sow 1] 
pound to 600 square feet. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE. Used extensively on 
putting greens, fairways and tees on golf 
courses, and does well on any kind of soil. 
It also produces a stiff, upright piant. Sow 
1 pound to 400 square feet.

lent lawn of dark green color. It forms a 
fine mat. With care and water makes one of 
Ene best lawns. Sow 1 pound to 300 square 
eet.

especially adapted for growing in very shady 
places or near buildings where other grasses 
will not grow. “f you have a shady, barren 
place, try our Shady Lawn Mixture. Sow 1]

WHITE DWARF CLOVER. Very low growing 
sort, principally used in poor ground to give 
a green color. Many like it in lawns, espec- 
ially where grass does not do well. Sow 1 
pound to 300 square feet. 
RYE GRASS, A rapid growing grass where 
quick results are required. It is coarser than 
Kentucky Blue Grass and thrives in poor 
soil. It is used as a “nurse” crop in mixtures 
to keep the lawn green while the better, 
slow-growing varieties are becoming estab- 
lished. Sow 1 pound to 200 square feet. 
RED TOP. A fine-bladed grass that succeeds 
on almost any soil, although it does best 
under moist conditions. It is used in almost
