N 
Astoria Bent 
Produces numerous root stocks which 
spread underground and throw up new 
shoots, making a very thick turf. This 
Bent has a good color: and is excellent 
for lawns and putting greens. Does not 
require as much cutting as Creeping Bent. 
Seaside Bent 
A true creeping Bent. The plant is dwarf, 
and multiplies rapidly by sending out 
Tunners in all directions. With proper 
watering and care, it makes a strong, 
enduring turf. If damaged it heals over 
promptly. 
Chewings Fescue 
A superb grass to grow in rather shaded 
areas and even on fairly acid soil and 
under other unfavorable conditions. Plants 
grow low, make a dense turf. Often used 
for putting greens and fairways. 
White Dutch Clover 
Although not a grass, White Clover is 
very desirable in lawn mixtures because 
of its rapid, low growth and creeping 
stems. Valuable as a green cover for 
poor ground. Succeeds best on moist 
ground or during wet season. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Produces a deep dark green lawn of 
Our Finest 
Lawn Mixture 
A combination of the finest quality 
seeds—a mixture which we have 
developed after years of experi- 
ence. All the grasses in it are fine- 
bladed and deep-rooting. There just 
isn’t any better combination than 
this for the lawns in this territory! 
Our Special 
Shade Mixture 
Our shade lawn mixture is a sci- 
entifically developed blend of top 
quality shade-enduring grasses and 
clovers. We've been getting excel- 
lent results with it for years and 
believe it will produce fine results 
anywhere that grass can be made 
to grow. 
close, thick turf. Maintains its green color 
until late in fall. Roots are deep, and 
plants are very hardy. Makes one of the 
best lawns. 
Domestic Rye Grass 
A quick-growing annual,’ valuable in 
lawn mixtures as a nurse crop, to keep 
lawn green while better, slow-growing 
varieties are becoming established. Suc- 
ceeds well on almost any soil. 
Perennial Rye Grass 
A quick growing grass, most suitable for 
mixtures. Succeeds well on almost any 
soil not water sogged. 
Red Top 
Particularly suitable for wet, low spots, 
as it stands wet weather, or even over- 
flowing, better than other grasses. Also 
does well on almost any good, rich soil. 
Often thrives where blue grass _ fails— 
and therefore makes an excellent supple- 
ment for it. 
Other Grasses 
Besides the lawn grasses listed here, we 
can also supply just about any other 
grasses you may need. We carry a com- 
plete line of all varieties that can be 
successfully grown in this part of the 
country. Just tell us what you want! 
How Much Seed? 
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 
10x20 200 1 lb. 
20x50 1,000 Sls; 
20x100 2,000 10 lbs. 
50x100 5,000 25 lbs. 
100x100 10,000 50 lbs. 
For re-seeding, use half these 
amounts. 
What kind of seed? Climate, 
amount of sun or shade, soil con- 
ditions, 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 help you get the 
right answer.
