“avis LAWN GRASS SEED 


Four reasons why Harris’ Lawn Grass Mixtures will give you a better lawn: 
1. Composed of the best, fine-leaved permanent grasses, selected by our experts, and described below. 
2. Blended according to proven formulas that we are proud to publish. (See descriptions—percentages are approximate.) 
3. Free of harmful weed seeds, timothy, annual rye grass and other quick-growing but unsuitable grasses. 
4. More clean, high-germinating seed per pound—a measured bushel weighs 30 lbs. instead of the usual 20 Ibs. 
These are the grasses we use in our mixtures: 
Kentucky Blue Grass—The ideal permanent lawn grass for most con- 
ditions: vigorous, thick-rooted, attractive. Slow to start, but over the 
years it makes the difference between success and failure. 
Creeping Red Fescue—Very slender leaves, spreads underground and 
fills gaps; best companion grass, as it thrives on poorer soils. 
Chewings Fescue— Also slender-leaved, succeeds under nearly all con- 
ditions, including shade, resists heat and wears well. 
HARRIS’ SUPERFINE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Mixture 
For establishing a fine thick permanent sod under average conditions, 
there is no better seed than Harris’ Superfine. [t is made up of 55% 
Kentucky Blue Grass, 15% Creeping Red Fescue, 25% Red Top and 5% 
Wild White Clover, and together they produce a lawn that will add to 
the beauty of your home for many years. 
The famous Kentucky Blue Grass makes the thick basic turf; it 
responds well to good fertility and flourishes in spring and fall. To sup- 
lement it, we include the deep-rooted Creeping Red Fescue which thrives 
under more adverse conditions including hot weather and poor, sandy 
soils. Its spreading habit fills in the thin spots with a firm sod. Wild 
White Clover is low-growing and blends in beautifully with the grasses. 
It stays green all summer and actually enriches the soil by adding nitrates. 
Our seed this year is unusually pure, clean and free of chaff. Plant 
thinly—only | Ib. is needed for 300 to 400 sq. ft. for new lawns and less 
for rebuilding old ones.

Harris’ Superfine Without Clover 
If you prefer not to have any clover in your lawn, order Harris’ 
Superfine Without Clover. The price is the same as above. 
Grass for Annual Seeding 
Under large leafy trees and shrubs, it is often impossible to make a good 
permanent lawn, as no grass will thrive in very dense shade. For such 
spots sow this inexpensive mixture of quick growing: grasses (60% Tim- 
othy, 40% Red Top)—it will cover the ground and remain green until 
Jate summer, but has to be reseeded each year. 1 lb. to 300 square feet. 
1 Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 75¢; 5 Lbs. $1.70; 10 Lbs. $3.20; transportation paid.

Poa Trivialis (also called Rough Blue Grass) Prefers shade and makes a 
very fine-leaved, bright green, permanent sod. 
Rhode Island Bent—On good, fertile soil and with proper care, the 
best appearing and finest-textured grass; likes close cutting. 
Red Top— Used as a nurse grass—grows quickly and protects the others. 
Wild White Clover—Small-leaved, tenacious, nourishes the grasses and 
stays green in hot weather.

Kentucky Blue Grass forms a durable foundation and the Red Top acts

the lawn green in summer without objectionable blossoms.

Creeping Red Fescue, 20% Kentucky Blue Grass and 15% Red Top, and 
with a little extra fertilizing under trees, it will make a fine permanent 
sod, even where the grass gets very little sun. These grasses are all fine- 
leayed and attractive, and should be sown in early spring or fall to gel a 
good start while the leaves are off the trees.
