ZENNER’S BENT LAWN MIXTURE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Seed. Price, 1 Ib. $1.25 
A wonderful mixture that is the result of years of experimenting. It is espe-

finest varieties of the most suitable grasses for making an even, thick turf 
are used in this mixture. The various grasses composing th’s well-balanced 
blend are fine-bladed and deep rooting, sure to produce the best results un- 
der average conditions of soil and climate. It is all plump, heavy seed free 
from chaff or weed seeds. Sow 1 pound for a plot 10 by 20 ft. (200 sq. ft.); 
100 to 150 lbs. of seed are required to sow one acre.

Astoria Bent. This strain of Bent differs 
from the Seaside variety in that it does 
not send out stolons, but spreads under- 
ground, sending up many root stalks 
that produce a splendid turf. The growth 
is upright, of fine texture and is a richer 
green than Seaside Bent. It is more prac- 
tical for lawns and succeeds best in 
heavy soils. Sow 1 pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Seaside Creeping Bent. Coos County 
Strain, is the true creeping bent. The 
plant is dwarf and it multiplies rapidly 
by sending out runners in all directions; 
from these, new plants are produced, 
which in turn grow more runners. The 
turf becomes matted, and if damaged it 
heals over promptly. Sow 1 pound to 
200 square feet. 
Chewings Fescue. Used extensively on 
putting greens, fairways and tees on 
golf courses, and does well on any kind 
of soil. It also produces a stiff, upright 
plant. Sow 1 pound to 150 square feet. 
Creeping or Red Fescue. Fine, round 
bladed grass, excellent for lawns. Slight- 
ly reddish at base. Fine for shade. 
Hardy. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Makes an excel- 
lent lawn of a daik green color. It forms 
a fine mat, and with care and water

grass, ideal for mo st, low lying ground 
where other grasses will not do well. 
Sow 1 pound to 175 square feet. 
Red Top. A fine-bladed grass that suc- 
ceeds on almost any soil, although it 
does best under moist conditions. It is 
used in almost all lawn mixtures. Should 
not be planted hy itself unless specifica] 
ly recommended. Sow 1 pound to 200 
square feet. 
Rye Grass. A rapid growing grass where 
quick results are required. It is coarser 
than Kentucky Blue Grass and thrives 
in poor soil, It is used as a “‘nurse”’ crop 
in mixture to keep the lawn green while 
the better, slow-growing varieties are be- 
coming established. Sow 1 pound to 150 
square feet.

How to Have 
A Good Lawn
