SHADY LAWN MIXTURE 
To make a good sod in shady locations, special grasses are required. 
Our mixture contains the following (percentages are approximate) : 
25% Poa Trivialis (Rough Blue Grass) 
30% Illahee Creeping Fescue 
25% Chewings Fescue 
20% Kentucky Blue Grass 
This combination provides grasses that will succeed in dry or moist 
locations, in fairly deep shade or moderately sunny spots. They are per- 
ennial, fine-leaved, attractive grasses, and should be sown in early spring 
or fall to get a good start while the leaves are off the trees. A little extra 
fertilizer in shady spots is a big help. Sow 1 lb. to 250 or 300 sq. ft. 
1% Lb. 65c; 1 Lb. $1.25; 2 Lbs. $2.45; 5 Lbs. $6.00; 10 Lbs. $11.50; 25 
Lbs. $27.50; 100 Lbs. $108.00 prepaid. 
LAWN WEED KILLERS 
2-4-D WEED KILLER. Amazingly effective. One application actually 
kills dandelions, plantain and other broad-leaved weeds without 
harming the grass. (Caution: 2-4-D injures some bent grasses.) Also 
useful for killing poison ivy, bindweed, thistles and annual weeds. 
May be safely used on grain and shows promise on corn. 25 Tablets 
(treats 2500 sq. ft.) $1.00; 1 lb. jar (powder—83% 2-4-D Sodium 
Salt) treats 1% acre, $2.25 postpaid. 
TAT-C-LECT. Destroys Crab Grass. This selective chemical kills 
young and old crab grass and retards germination of the seed. Injury 
to lawn grasses is only temporary. Two or three applications are re- 
quired. Full directions with order. 
1% Pt. (8 oz.) treats 500 sq. ft., 85c; Pt. (16 Oz.) $1.50 postpaid. 

arcs LAWN GRASS SEED 


Shady Spots Require Special Seed 
SEPARATE VARIETIES OF GRASSES 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. The ‘‘Backbone’”’ of Fine Lawns 
and Permanent Pastures. 
Whether on high dry land or in moist places, this famous grass does 
well and spreads rapidly, making a fine-textured deep green sod. 
For both lawns and pastures it is unexcelled. 
The seed we offer is extra fancy, so pure and clean that it weighs 
nearly 30 lbs. per bu. instead of the usual 21 Ibs. 
1 Lb. $1.15; 2 Lbs. $2.25; 5 Lbs. $5.50; 10 Lbs. $10.50 postpaid. Not 
paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 95c per Lb. 

COLONIAL BENT. (Same as Astoria Bent, Rhode Island Bent, etc.) 
The best of the bent grasses and excellent for fine lawns and greens. It 
forms a thick, fine-textured sod, stands close mowing, and yet does 
well even on poor and acid soil. Being of a semi-creeping habit, it 
spreads by underground root stocks and will recover the ground after 
injury. Sow 1 Ib. to 600 sq. ft. 
1% Lb. 85c; 1 Lb. $1.50; 2 Lbs. $2.90; 5 Lbs. $7.00; 10 Lbs. $13.50 
postpaid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at $1.25 per Lb. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (English.) For Quick Covering. Uscful 
on slopes and other difficult places to protect slower germinating seeds. 
Bright, shiny green, rank growing, hard to cut and very persistent. 
Not recommended for permanent lawns. 
1 Lb. 55c; 2 Lbs. 95c¢; 5 Lbs. $2.00; 10 Lbs. $3.50 postpaid. Not paid: 
25 Lbs. or more at 27c per Lb. 

Carl Warren notes the heavy growth Domestic Rye Grass makes in only a few months.

ILLAHEE CREEPING FESCUE. (New.) \ most valuable new 
strain of Creeping Red Fescue, 
which spreads by underground runners. It blends perfectly with other 
grasses, does not isolate itself, but makes a thick, deep-rooted sod that 
survives on poor soils, in shade or sun, and withstands wear. Very 
fine leaved, holds its color well. The outstanding grass in our test plots 
here. 
1 Lb. $1.25; 2 Lbs. $2.40; 5 Lbs. $5.75; 10 Lbs. $11.00; postpaid. Not 
paid: 25 Lbs. or more at $1.00 per Lb. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE. For places that get hard wear. Produces a 
tough, firm matlike sod with very slender leaves and is resistant to 
hard wear. It does well on nearly all kinds of soil and in shade as well 
as sun. Also valuable as a pasture grass. 
1 Lb. $1.10; 2 Lbs. $2.10; 5 Lbs. $5.00; 10 Lbs. $9.50; postpaid. Not 
paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 85e¢ per Lb. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. Best Clover for Lawns. 
This is the ideal clover for lawns. When kept cut, it shows hardly any 
blossoms and its low creeping habit of growth means that your lawn will 
remain green all summer. It is a fine-leaved clover blending perfectly 
with the grasses and forming a thick velvety sward which will last for 
years. Clover actually improves the growth of the grasses by supplying 
nitrogen from the air. A very light seeding in the spring (1 Lb. to 7,500 sq. 
ft.) will get Wild White Clover started. 
Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 65c; 4% Lb. $1.10; Lb. $1.85; 5 Lbs. or more at $1.75 
per Lb. postpaid. 

DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
For Winter Cover and Soil Improvement. Growers interested in 
Soil Conservation are getting results from Domestic Rye Grass that 
far outweigh its small cost. Its quick-growing, matted root system and 
thick grass form a perfect sod to prevent erosion and leaching during 
the winter, and when plowed under in the spring. it will add much 
valuable humus. (For quicker rotting and more soil enrichment apply 
nitrate before plowing.) 
Sow broadcast (12-15 Ibs. per acre) at the time of last cultivation of 
corn, cabbage, tomatoes and many other crops. Does not compete 
before harvest but makes a strong dense growth in late fall. Excellent 
in orchards and vineyards. For dairymen, it provides late fall and early 
spring pasture. i 
For home gardens, sow | lb. to 1000 sq. ft. on virtually all crops—it 
will conserve your organic matter. Can be planted from midsummer 
to early fall. Use it as a temporary lawn or ground cover anytime. 
1 Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 65e; 5 Lbs. $1.35; 10 Lbs. $2.40 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 161%c per Lb.
