DON’T EXPERIMENT—WE’VE DONE THAT FOR YOU 

Stai reen is a modern Lawn Seed Mixture, the result of years of experimenting and practical sowing on all types of soil. With it many 
g of the best lawns in the northern United States have been built. It is composed of the strongest, finest and most permanent 
grass varieties, including Bent. Under favorable conditions it will produce a deep-rooted turf, luxuriant, carpet-like and emerald-green from 
early spring through summer to early winter. Introduced by us in 1912, it is moderate in price, but not “‘cheap.”

Staigreen a mixture of heavy pure seed of high quality. We recommend Sta1cREEN for all lawns, new or old, except in heavy shade or the ex- 
treme South. STAIGREEN contains no white clover, but if desired in your lawn, we suggest you sow white clover with it on the basis of 1 pound 
to each 20 pounds of STAIGREEN. 
LOOK AT YOUR ANALYSIS TAG, The law in most States requires that an 
analysis tag be placed on all packages of lawn seeds. 
Kentucky Bluegrass, Chewing’s Fescue, and Bent Grasses are the principal grasses in 
northern lawns. Shade Bluegrass (Poa trivialis) is good in shade mixtures; in sunny mix- 
tures, also. We include it in all our good general purpose formulas. 
These varieties should PREDOMINATE in a good mixture. Unfortunately they are the 
most expensive of the grasses and are especially so this year; the recent harvest of Blue- 
grass seed in particular was very short. Supplies are limited, and the value of Staigreen 
ingredients has gone up. To maintain our formulas we have been obliged to increase 
prices; seed, however, is still the lowest-cost item in producing and maintaining turf, 
and the use of correct mixtures of the best seed is proper economy, saving much weeding 
and renovating expense later. 
Redtop is a semi-permanent nurse grass and a moderate percentage is advisable in most lawn mixtures, 
where fine turf is wanted. Perennial Ryegrass is semi-permanent too, and another good nurse grass, par- 
ticularly in shade formulas and for spring sowing; but it should form only a moderate percentage of the grasses 
in a‘mixture. White Clover, where desired, and under certain conditions, may form a very small proportion of 
the grass mixture. Common Ryegrass is an annual, and should only be considered as a nurse grass or for 
temporary lawns. We do not recommend Timothy for lawns. 
Both Common Ryegrass and Timothy are quick to start, and cheap. A lawn sown with a mixture containing 
them may get a head start and look superior for the first few weeks, but eventually it will be surpassed both in 
permanence and in good color by lawns sown with higher quality seed.
