Stai reen is a modern Lawn Seed Mixture, the result of years of experimenting and practical sowing on all types of soil, With it many 
g of the best lawns in the northern United States have been built. It is composed of the strongest, finest and most permanent 
grass varieties, including Bent. Under favorable conditions it will produce a deep-rooted turf, luxuriant, carpet-like and emerald-green from 
early spring through summer to early winter. 
Staigreen Contains no Ryegrass or Timothy, but Chewing’s Fescue is a valuable ingredient in it. 
Deep-rooted, and a robust grower in 
summer, it imparts a definite resistance to chinch-bug injury, drought, and summer scald. Other varieties contribute to make 
Staigreen a mixture of heavy pure seed of high quality. We recommend StaicREEN for all lawns, new or old, except in heavy shade or the ex- 
treme South. STAIGREEN contains no white clover, but if desired in your lawn, we suggest you sow white clover with it on the basis of 1 pound 
to each 20 pounds of STAIGREEN. 
4 was Introduced by us in 1912. It is moderate in price, but is not ‘“‘cheap.”” 
Staigreen or maintenance of a lawn is but a small fraction of the total. 
LOOK AT YOUR ANALYSIS TAG. The law in most states requires that an 
analysis tag be placed on all packages of lawn seeds. 
Kentucky Bluegrass, Chewing’s Fescue, and Bent Grasses are the principal grasses in 
northern lawns. Shade Bluegrass (Rough-stalked Meadowgrass) is good in shade mixtures. 
These varieties should PREDOMINATE ina good mixture. Unfortunately they are the most 
expensive of the grasses, and make up only a small part of some low-price “Lawn” mixtures. 
Redtop is a semi-permanent nurse grass and a moderate percentage is advisable in most 
lawn mixtures, where fine turf is wanted. Perennial Ryegrass is semi-permanent too, and 
another good nurse grass, particularly in shade formulas and for spring sowing; but it should 
form only a moderate percentage of the grasses in a mixture. White Clover, where desired, 
and under certain conditions, may form a very small proportion of the grass mixture. Com- 
mon Ryegrass is an annual, and should only be considered as a nurse grass or for temporary 
lawns. We do not recommend Timothy for lawns. 
You will find our lawn mixtures of high value and reasonable in cost, when you check 
the actual value of the ingredients used. 
Both Common Ryegrass and Timothy are quick to start, and cheap. A lawn sown witha 
mixture containing them may get a head start and look superior for the first few weeks, but 
eventually it will be surpassed both in permanence and in good color by other lawns sown 
with higher quality seed. 
After all, the cost of good seeds in the making
