Bermuda Grass Unhulled 
Bermuda Grass seed is best for sunny 
exposure and summer lawns. Makes vig- 
orous and persistent growth; lasts for 
years, stands long hot summers well, 
grows well in any soil not too wet. For 
lawns, golf courses and athletic grounds 
it makes a tough, even turf without 
clumps, and recovers quickly after cut- 
ting. Sow when ground is thoroughly 
warm, and soil moist. Sown before a 
rainy season, seed comes up in_ short 
time, otherwise it germinates slowly. 
Hulled Bermuda Grass 
The highest grade of Bermuda, with the 
hard, almost water-tight hulls removed 
for quicker results. With proper moisture 
conditions, germinates in one to two 
weeks, growing quickly to a delightful 
green lawn. 
Winter Rye Grass 
The winter grass for all the South. A 
fast-growing annual grass with long flat 
leaves, standing close and frequent mow- 
ing. Scratch seed in Bermuda sod for 
green lawn until the Bermuda comes out 
again in summer. It makes a_ delightful 
green lawn, in sun or shade. Must be re- 
planted each year. 
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. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Deep vivid green, leaf blades very nar- 
row and plants are slightly creeping. A 
desirable lawn grass under proper con- 
ditions. However, we recommend it only 
where it has been proved. 
Carpet Grass 
Exceedingly hardy. Does better in poor, 
sandy soil than any other grass. The 
more mowing and tramping it gets, the 
better it likes it. 
Red Top 
Good for wet, low spots as it stands wet 
weather, or even overflowing, better than 
other grasses. Also does well on almost 
any good, rich soil, Often thrives where 
blue grass fails. 
White Dutch Clover 
Although not a grass, White Clover is 
used extensively to supplement lawn 
grasses and in mixtures. Succeeds best 
on moist ground or during a wet season. 
Other Grasses 
Besides the lawn grasses listed here, we 
can also supply just about any other 
grasses you need. We carry a complete 
line of all varieties that can be success- 
fully 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 5 lbs. 
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.
