avs’ LAWN GRASS SEED 

Although good lawn grass seed will be very scarce this year, we will not 
sacrifice the quality of our mixtures for the sake of quantity, and you can 
buy Harris’ Lawn Grass Seed with every confidence that it is blended, 
as always, to our proven formulas and contains the finest seeds obtainable. 
The beauty of your lawn is too important to the appearance of your 
house and garden to risk planting anything but the best. We use only the 
HARRIS’ SUPERFINE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Mixture 
For establishing a fine thick permanent sod under average conditions, 
there is no better seed than Harris Superfine. It contains a large propor- 
tion of Kentucky Blue Grass, recommended by experts as the “‘backbone”’ 
of nearly all fine lawns because it grows so well under almost any condi- 
tions. Together with other grasses it makes a fine leaved and deeply 
rooted turf that will stand for many years. 
This mixture also contains pure Wild White Clover which blends per- 
fectly with the grasses and keeps the lawn green all summer. This clover 
is very low growing and tenacious, shows hardly any blossoms, and it 
actually enriches the soil by adding nitrates which stimulate the grass. 
The purity and germination of the seed we use is far superior to ordi- 
nary lawn seed. We do not “‘load”’ our mixtures with cheap bulky seed or 
with numerous varieties that have fancy names but little permanent 
value. Our seed is so pure, clean and free of chaff that a measured bushel 
weighs 30 lbs. instead of the 20 lbs. which is the usual weight of lawn 
grass seed. This means much more good, strong germinating seed in a 
_ pound and it should be planted thinly—only 1 lb. to 300 or 400 square 
feet for new lawns and less for rebuilding old ones.

Harris’ Superfine Without Clover 
For people who do not want any clover in their lawns, we also offer the 
same Harris Superfine grass mixture without any clover in it. Simply ask 
for Harris Superfine Without Clover. The price is the same as the

Grass for Annual Seeding 
Under large leafy trees and shrubs, it is often impossible to make a good 
permanent lawn, as no grass will thrive in very dense shade. For such 
spots sow this inexpensive mixture of quick growing grasses in early 
spring—it will cover the ground and remain green until late summer, but 
has to be reseeded each year. Sow about 1 lb. to 300 sq. feet. (This mix- 
ture contains timothy.)

grasses which are best suited to the purpose intended. Our fine lawn mix- 
tures are free from the harmful weed seeds, timothy and other unsuitable 
grasses which are so often found in cheap mixtures. You want your lawn 
to last for a number of years—sow only the best seed. If you want really 
good seed we have it, but if you wish to take a chance on ordinary “Lawn 
Grass’”’ seed you can get it at the corner store. 
HARRIS’ ENGLISH BLEND 
For Deep Velvety Lawns—Contains Bent Grass 
This mixture of the finest grasses for lawns will produce a thick velvety 
turf and make a superb permanent lawn like the famous lawns in Eng- 
land, if given reasonable care. Harris’ English Blend contains Kentucky 
Blue Grass of the highest purity, which forms a durable foundation for 
the lawn, and a high percentage of the best Bent Grass for the finest tex- 
tured, most attractive turf. It is completely winter hardy and permanent, 
and its heavy, luxuriant growth thrives on close cutting. 
Wild White Clover is also included, which helps keep the lawn green 
all summer without objectionable blossoms, and actually nourishes the 
companion grasses by supplying them with nitrogen. 
The soil for this mixture should be well fertilized and given a good 
supply of organic matter. The seed should be sown thinly, using 1 Ib. to 
500 or 600 square feet, so the cost is actually very low. With care this | 
mixture makes a beautiful fine leaved turf you will be proud to own.

SHADY LAWN MIXTURE 
Ideal for Seeding under Trees and in All Shady Spots 
Many lawn grasses do not thrive in shady places. We have put into 
this mixture the varieties of grass which will grow and make a good sod 
under trees and in the shade of buildings where most lawn grass would not 
do well. The growth is vigorous and the grasses are hardy, so with a little 
care and extra fertilizing, a fine permanent sod can be developed even 
where the grass gets very little sun. 
This seed should be sown in the early spring or fall, at the rate of 1 lb. 
to 250 to 300 square feet for new seeding or one-half that amount to 
renew old lawns. A dressing of 2 to 4 lbs. of a good fertilizer to 100 sq. ft. 
raked in before seeding will be very beneficial, and lime should be ap- 
plied if needed to correct acidity.
