MICHELL’S Reliable Grass Mixture 

EEDING at the proper time is half the secret of success in Iawn-making. But on the seed you 
sow will depend success or failure. Quality mn grass seed is of particular importance. The 
initial cost of the best seed is small compared with the time and labor of weeding and probable 
replanting which results from cheap, inferior seed. And the satisfaction derived from a really good 
lawn is immeasurable. 
Michell’s Lawn Seed has been a leader in high quality for over fifty years. Many of the better 
lawns in this country are the result of Michell’s seed, plus proper care. The answer lies in our in- 
sistence on furnishing only that seed which meets our rigid specifications of highest purity and 
germination and maximum freedom from weeds. 
Quantity to sow for Lawns. We recommend sowing: 5 pounds per 1000 square feet; 150 
pounds per acre on new ground without grass. In renovating established lawns, use half the above 
quantities.
