GOLD SEAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURE 
is an efficient mixture of pure and 
clean seeds. It contains only high grade grasses 
suitable for the purpose of making a beautiful, 
durable and lasting lawn. It germinates quickly, 
roots deeply, withstands extreme heat and severe 
cold. Makes a beautiful, rich green lawn. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS (Poa pratensis) is the 
most desirable grass for a beautiful lawn. The 
leaves are narrow and deep green in color. It 
forms a close turf, is slightly creeping and quite 
hardy. It is recommended alone or in mixtures 
for lawn purposes. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS is a quick growing annual, 
which does not have root-stalks nor stolons and 
does not form a compact sod. 
It affords a quick covering and 
is helpful as a nurse crop to 
other grasses. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS (Lolium 
perenne) is a tufted, short-lived 
perennial. It does not form 
root-stalks or stolons and does 
not form a compact sod. It 
grows rapidly, making a quick 
covering and is used in lawn 
grass mixtures with Kentucky 
Blue Grass and Red Top. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifol- 
ium repens). This is a small, 
close growing, dwarf clover, 
used extensively in making 
lawns. It is a rapid grower of 
spreading habits and can be 
cut very close to the ground 
without injury to the plant. It 
starts regrowing at once after 
cutting. White Dutch Clover 
helps the grasses by adding 
nitrogen to the soil.

BENT GRASSES 
Bent grasses are used extensively for 
golf greens on account of the heavy mass 
of thick-leaved grass which they pro- 
duce. This growth materially aids in 
choking out weeds. They do not always 
give the same degree of satisfaction on 
lawns because private lawns do not always get 
sufficient and proper care. 
ASTORIA BENT (Agrostis stolonfera compacta) has 
very pleasing green color with blades of fine 
texture. It produces stolons or creeping runners 
lightly above and heavily below the surface. It 
is produced on dry hill lands and not on moist 
lowlands and is therefore capable of withstand- 
ing dry conditions. It is a good grass for lawns 
as well as golf greens. 
HIGHLAND BENT is a type of Colonial Creeping 
Bent grown in the uplands of Oregon. It is very 
hardy, a vigorous grower and will withstand more 
dry weather than other strains 
of Bent Grasses. 
SEASIDE BENT (Agrostis mari- 
tima) is produced along the 
sea coast in Oregon in the low 
swampy lands. Is known as 
Coos County Bent, Cocoos Bent, 
and Coos Bent. Is fine leaved, 
bright green in color, and 
creeps both below and above 
the ground. It requires fre- 
quent cutting. 
OTHER LAWN GRASSES 
CHEWINGS FESCUE is New Zea- 
land Fescue. It has a very fine 
blade and is a beautiful and 
lasting green. It is used for 
fairways on sandy soils and 
for lawns in shady places. 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon 
dactylon) is a southern grass 
with dwarf habits, long creep- 
ing stems rooting at the joints 
that cover the ground with a 
matting of fine turf. Not suited 
for northern latitudes.
