DEPENDABLE 
Bermuda Grass Unhulled 
As valuable for lawns or golf courses 
as it is for pasturage—or wherever a 
thick, heavy sod is desired. Needs plen- 
ty of water. When Bermuda grass turns 
brown in late fall or winter, give it a 
good application of lawn fertilizer. 
Hulled Bermuda Grass 
The highest grade of Bermuda, with 
the hard, almost water-tight hulls re- 
moved for quicker results. Germination, 
with proper moisture conditions, in 1 to 
2 weeks, 
Carpet Grass 
Exceedingly hardy. Does better in 
poor, sandy soil than any other grass, 
The more mowing and tramping it gets, 
the better it likes it. 
Winter Rye 
Withstands winter weather perfectly. 
Plant in fall for a nice green lawn 
during the winter months. An annual— 
must be planted every year. 
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 7 Ib. 
20 x 50 1,000 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?

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.
