G.L. F. Lawn Seed 
A good lawn seed mixture is made up of (1) grasses that 
give a quick protective covering and (2) grasses that 
will make a good permanent turf. 
Grasses for permanent lawns 
Kentucky bluegrass is the best grass for sunny places 
where the soil is good. It is injured by close clipping and 
becomes browned in severe drouth but recovers quickly. 
Chewing fescue is the best grass for dry soil in either sun 
or shade. It makes a fine textured, tough sod and is 
particularly good in acid, sandy soils common on Long 
Island and near the Adirondack mountains. 
Temporary grasses 
Red Top is generally included in lawn mixtures for it 
germinates quickly. 
Ryegrasses, both the Italian (or annual) and perennial 
kinds are quick to germinate and are useful for one- 
season lawns. Small quantities of either ryegrasses or 
red top included in mixtures for sloping lawns will prevent 
hard rains from washing away the soil and the slower 
germinating seed. 
G.L.F. Lawn Seed is a carefully balanced mixture of the 
fast and slower growing grasses. There are three mixtures 
available:
