White Dutch or Lawn Clover 
(Trifolium Repens.) This is valuable 
for pasturage as well as for lawns; it suc- 
ceeds where other clovers and grasses 
fail, and it seldom dies out. It can be 
sown at all seasons, although early spring 
is best. Lb. $1.10. 
Seaside Bent 
(Agrostis Maritima.) Also often’ called 
Coos County Bent because most of the 
seed is grown in Coos County, Oregon. 
This is a true creeping bent, and makes 
a very smooth, uniform lawn. Extreme 
care must be taken in purchasing this 
seed, as there are SO many Swamp grasses 
and other weed seeds in the district 
where the seed is grown. Our stock of 
Seaside Bent is carefully recleaned in our 
own specially constructed seed cleaning 
plant, and is extreemly pure and free 
from weed seeds. Lb. $1.75.

Bent. It is a very desirable type of grass

lawns, as it makes a beautiful, thickly 
matted, deep green turf. It holds its color 
exceptionally well and is an underground 
creeper. Our Astoria Bent is unusually 
clean and free from weed seeds. Lb.

How to Have 
A Good Lawn 
A well made lawn will last a long 
time, so it pays to be thorough in pre- 
paring the soil. 
Drainage is the first consideration. 
Water logged soil will not support a good 
turf. Tiling is one way to promote good 
dra nage; another is to work liberal 
quantities of sand and gravel into the 
subsoil.
