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 and 
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

nor is their purity quite as high as in the State Seal 
mixtures. We also list a complete 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 contractors 
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.
