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 
S 
You too can have a Beautiful Lawn 
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. They do not contain 
harmful weed seeds which are so often found in cheap mixtures. 
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’ SUPERFINE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Mixture 
Composed of pure seeds of the fine leaved and deep rooted grasses 
which are the most desirable and best suited for lawns. This mixture con- 
tains a large proportion of Kentucky Blue Grass, the “backbone” of 
nearly all fine lawns because it succeeds under so many conditions. 
Together with other grasses it will form a thick fine sod that will stand 
drought well and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for many years. 
We have also included in this famous mixture the proper proportion of 
Wild White Clover. This is a beautiful tenacious low-growing clover that 
shows scarcely any blossoms, and is fine leaved and blends perfectly with 
the companion grasses. It will last for years and is so vigorous that it will 
actually crowd out many weeds. In addition it adds nitrogen to the soil 
and thereby improves the growth of the grasses. 
We use only the very finest lots of seed obtainable in our mixtures, and 
we test them carefully for purity and germination before mixing. None are 
used which do not come up to the highest standard of excellence. We do 
not “load” our mixtures with cheap bulky seed or with numerous varieties 
that have fancy names but little permanent value. 
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. 
This means that there is much more good seed in a pound and therefore 
the seed should be planted more thinly. Use only 1 pound to 300 or 400 
square feet for new lawns, and even less for rebuilding old ones. 
1 Lb. 80c; 2 Lbs. $1.50; 5 Lbs. $3.50; 10 Lbs: $6.50; 25 Lbs. $15.00; 
50 Lbs. $29.50; 100 Lbs. $58.00; transportation paid. 
Harris’ Superfine Without Clover 
Although we consider Wild White Clover a valuable addition to any 
lawn grass mixture, there are many people who do not want any clover in 
their lawns. For these people we offer the same seed as Harris’ Superfine 
with no clover in it, at the same prices as the regular mixture. Simply ask 
for Harris’ Superfine Without Clover. 
HARRIS’ ENGLISH BLEND 
A Special Mixture of the Finest Grasses for Deep 
Velvety Lawns—Contains Bent Grass. 
This mixture of the finest grasses for lawns will produce a thick velvety 
turf and make a superb permanent lawn like the famous lawns in Eng- 
land, if given reasonable care. In addition to Kentucky Blue Grass of the 
highest purity which forms a durable foundation for the lawn, Harris’ 
English Blend also contains a high percentage of the best Bent Grass, 
making the finest textured and most attractive turf. It is completely 
winter hardy and permanent, and it will make a heavy luxuriant growth 
that thrives on close cutting. 
Wild White Clover is also included, which helps keep the lawn green all 
summer without objectionable blossoms, and actually nourishes the 
companion grasses by supplying them with nitrogen. 
The soil for this mixture should be well fertilized and given a good sup- 
ply of organic matter. The seed should be sown thinly, using 1 lb. to 500 
or 600 square feet, so the cost is actually very low. When well cared for, 
this mixture will make a beautiful smooth fine leaved turf that you will 
be proud to own.

Grass for Annual Seeding 
There are often places under large deciduous trees and shrubs which the 
sun cannot reach at any time when the leaves are out. Under these con- 
ditions, no grass of any kind will thrive for any length of time and it is 
impossible to make.a good lawn. The best thing for such places is to 
sow some quick growing grasses in the early spring before the leaves come 
out. The grass will then cover the ground and remain green until late in 
the summer. Ground that is heavily shaded nearly all the time has to be 
reseeded each year. We can furnish a mixture of grasses which are the 
most suitable for this purpose. Sow about 1 lb. to 300 sq. ft. (This mixture 
contains timothy.) Please order by name as follows: 
Grass Mixture for Annual Seeding: 1 Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c; 5 Lbs. 
$1.90; 10 Lbs. $3.50; transportation paid.
