FORBES LAWN SEED for every need 
The best lawn is produced from a seed mixture of several grasses, each in the proper 
proportion to serve its purpose. We blend the mixtures offered below from heavy, recleaned 
live seeds in proportions which years of experience have proved to be best. 
For quick results sow 1 pound per 100 square feet. Half that amount 
gives good results but takes longer. Planting directions with every bag. 
The ‘*‘Forbes” Lawn Mixture 
This is our most popular mixture and is made up of five dwarf perennial grasses, giving a 
lawn of rich green, fine texture and a permanency not usually found. Lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.50; 
10 Ibs. $8.50; 25 Ibs. $20.75; 100 Ibs. $80. 
Elite Lawn Mixture 
This is a superior blend producing an ideal verdant close turf of very fine-leaved texture, 
more nearly resembling the fineness of a putting-green. Does not require the constant 
attention usual with putting-greens. Lb. $1.10; 5 Ibs. $5.25; 10 lbs. $10; 25 Ibs. $24.25; 
100 lbs. $95. 
Shady Piace Lawn Mixture 
Thrives better than any other in partially shaded areas, as it includes grasses which grow 
naturally in the shade. Frequent watering and feeding is essential to supply both tree roots 
and grass roots. Lb. $1; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 Ibs. $9; 25 lbs. $21.75; 100 lbs. $85. 
Terrace Lawn Mixture 
This forms a densely matted network of deep roots, withstanding the wash from heavy 
rains on slopes. The longer roots also command the deeper moisture level when the terraces 
become dry in summer. Lb. $1; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 Ibs. $9; 25 Ibs. $21.75; 100 lbs. $85. 
Branch Brook Park Lawn Mixture 
A low-priced standard mixture giving a lawn of good color and withstanding normal 
wear. Lb. 80c; 5 Ibs. $3.75; 10 lbs. $7; 25 lbs. $17; 100 lbs. $65. 
White Clover 
This dwarf, compact, dark green variety is suggested for use where it has been found 
difficult to produce a turf with lawn seed mixtures only. 14Ib. 50c; 4Ib. 95c; lb. $1.85.
