| Schling ‘ Specialized : 
In a great measure the reputation of a seed house depends upon 
the quality of the grass seed mixtures offered. Because it is an item 
that is almost universally purchased by anyone who has any ground 
whatever, and because there has been and is such a wide variance 
in the quality of the lawn mixtures offered, it becomes increasingly 
important to acquaint the purchaser of grass seed with the history 
behind a quality mixture. 
Grass seeds are usually purchased under brand names, but regard- 
less of the brand name or from whom it is purchased, the basis of 
all good grass seed mixtures must necessarily be the same. The im- 
portant feature of a good mixture is that it must contain heavy 
plump seeds from selected grass stocks that have been grown for 
the distinct purpose of seed production only. 
Purity of the seed, freedom from weed seed, germination and 
weight per bushel are the important factors to consider. The im- 
portant thing for the purchaser is to study carefully the published 
formula, germination and purity count that is mandatory by law to 
print conspicuously on each package of mixed grass seeds. Avoid those 
mixtures that contain too many annual seeds such as Timothy and 
Domestic Rye Grass. Inasmuch as Kentucky Blue Grass and Red Top 
are the basic components of most mixtures, read the germination 
and purity figures of these two varieties carefully.

rect. This mixture will produce a rich, velvety greensward even

WILD WHITE CLOVER. A comparatively recent introduction of this 
strain of clover. It is very vigorous and of. a thick, dwarf growth. 
An important feature is its lack of flowers which is a great ad- 
vantage in maintaining a green lawn. Wild White Clover is more 
vigorous than any weed, and because of its all around excellence 
we recommend its use in the finest lawns, whereas in the past we 
have never recommended the use of ordinary Dutch White Clover 
except for specific purposes. 1 Ib. is sufficient for 800 sq. ft. 
I Ib., $3.00; 5 Ibs., $14.00.
