DEPENDABLE 
Chewings Fescue 
Widely used for putting greens and 
fairways. Produces thick, durable turf, 
even under unfavorable conditions. 
Bent 
Makes a thick, dense turf on heavy, 
sour soils and being of a semi-creeping 
habit will recover the ground after in- 
jury. Unexcelled for fine lawns and 
putting greens. 
White Clover 
Very desirable in lawn mixtures be- 
cause of its rapid, low growth and 
creeping stems. Valuable as a green 
cover for poor ground. 
Rye Grass 
A rapid grower, valuable in mixtures 
demanding quick effect. Not long last- 
ing. Good in moist soils. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Produces a deep dark green lawn of 
close, thick turf. Maintains its green 
color until late in fall. Roots are deep, 
plants very hardy. 

In figuring how much seed you need, 
remember ‘’skimpy”’ seeding is the most 
costly in the long run. Plant enough to 
get a thick, heavy mat of grass and 
you'll need far less re-seeding. 
The wise minimum for new lawn 
planting may be figured from this table: 
Size of Plot Square Feet Amt. of Seed 
10 x 20 200 1 Ib, 
20 x 50 7,000 5 Ibs. 
20 x 100 2,000 10 Ibs, 
50 x 100 5,000 25 Ibs. 
100 x 100 10,000 50 Ibs. 
For re-seeding, use half these amounts. 
What kind of seed? The only safe 
answer to this question is, “It all de- 
pends!"” Climate, amount of sun or 
shade, soil conditions, drainage, slope, 
all must be considered. 
That's why we suggest that lawn 
seed should be bought from a merchant 
who can weigh all these factors—and 
How much seed? What kind? What price? 


LAWN SEEDS 
Red Top 
Particularly suitable for wet, low 
spots, as it stands wet weather, or even 
overflowing, better than other grasses. 
Also does well on almost any good, rich 
soil. Often thrives where blue grass 
fails—and therefore makes an excellent 
supplement for it.

bination of the finest quality seeds—

help you to get the right answer. 
What price? How much should you 
pay for lawn seed? Well, there’s no 
getting away from the fact that low 
priced seeds are actually the most 
costly. They give you less coverage; 
hence you have to plant more. They 
don’t last as long; hence, you must 
replant more often. They don’t make 
the type of dense turf that crowds out 
the weeds. So, whatever the price of 
lawn seed at any given time, buy the 
finest you can get! You'll save money 
—and have a better lawn! 
Whenever you see a beautiful lawn, 
anywhere in our territory, it’s more 
than likely that we furnished the seed, 
WE SELL GOOD SEED—and we know a 
great deal about lawn building. So it’s 
only natural that we have a great many 
living advertisements for our Lawn Seed 
Department hereabouts.
