Lawn Grass Seed 
Never in‘over 40 years selling seeds have 
we known such a shortage of the main grasses 
used for seeding lawns, namely White Dutch 
Clover and Kentucky Blue Grass, especially 
the latter. 
It places us and all other seedsmen in a 
spot. First off, it is almost impossible to 
Secure, at any price, enough stock for our 
customers, Second, we are forced to charge 
what might seem too much. Third, we _ be- 
lieve we should limit each customer to not 
over 10 pounds of seed. At time of writing 
this, in December, it looks like we should cut 
that to five pounds. But will go as far as we 
can with the ten pound limit. 
Later in the season, write us, if you wish, 
asking if stocks will permit larger quantity to 
a customer. 
Due to drastic shortage of Blue Grass, our 
own mixture is one part Blue Grass to 2 parts 
Clover. See below. 
White Clover alone will make you a fine 
lawn, and in a hurry. Ordinarily it has been 
used sparingly when mixed with Blue Grass, 
partly because, normally, it has been scarcer 
and higher priced. But this season the reverse 
is true. 
The Blue Grass we add in our mixture will 
not show up so noticeably the first year. But 
even a much less proportion will eventually 
take possession of your lawn. Just a root 
here and there will spread and spread, as you 
may have noticed. So that’s our story. 
Just one more point. Of all times, do be 
careful what sort of seed you get for your 
lawn. And bear in mind that even at eurrent 
higher prices, the cost of the seed is a very, 
very small item compared with the cost of 
preparing the lawn for sowing. If and when 
we run out of the quality of seed that has 
built us a national reputation, we will refund 
instead of fill your orders. 
Clover “goes farther’ than Blue Grass in 
getting a lawn established quickly. So, if 
ground is well prepared, seed sown carefully 
and evenly, lawn kept watered first few weeks, 
you can get a good stand by sowing one pound 
to 300 to 400 square feet. A little thicker 
might be better. This applies to either clover 
alone or our mixture. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, 
leveled and allowed to settle. 
The more care before sowing the seed the 
better the results. Seed will wash to the low 
spots and make your lawn spotted. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some 
more crosswise, so as to avoid streaks. Rake 
well before and after sowing. Water gently 
so often that soil never dries out until lawn is 
green. 
Old lawns should be re-seeded and fertilized 
from time to time. Use only the purest seed. 
Never be afraid of sowing too much Seed, nor 
too often.
