Lawn Grass Seed Mixture Before You Buy It 
You Should Know What You Are Buying 
FACT 1 The more Chewing’s Fescue and Kentucky Blue Grass 
a mixture contains, the better the mixture. 
FACT 2 Both are Perennials and live indefinitely. However, 
they require two or three years to reach full maturity.

Grass as nurse crops to shade them in their early growth.

Blue Grass will be at their best; they form the per- 
manent lawn.
