HOLMES Bentgrass Seed 
This seed makes a velvet-like lawn when proper care is 
given. A lawn of Bentgrass Seed can be made like a putting 
green. When Bentgrass is sowed alone, it’s imperative that 
grass should be kept cut short and well-rolled throughout the 
season. It needs several small applications of fertilizers and 
plenty of water to maintain a perfect lawn. This seed is ex- 
cellent for sowing on established lawns to fill in bare spots. 
Prices are transportation paid.

HOLMES White Dutch Clover 
No clover is used in Holmes Lawn Seed Mixture. If de- 
sirable, it can be sown alone. Holmes White Dutch is an ex- 
cellent Clover, making close compact growth, covering the 
ground like a carpet. It also prevents washing out of soil 
during heavy rains and thrives well on all soils. Use sparingly. 
One-fourth pound will cover 1,000 square feet. Price is trans-

Lawn Grass Seed 
Holmes’ Lawn Grass Seed makes the 
inest thick turfed emerald-green lawns. 
A good lawn is the most beautiful and 
most handsome feature of the home 
grounds. Nothing else can set off the 
architectural beauty of your home to 
better advantage than a well-made, well- 
kept lawn. A_ beautiful lawn actually 
raises the value of the property upon 
which it grows. Holmes’ Lawn Grass 
Seed makes a practically permanent lawn. 
Lawns made 15 years ago are as beautiful 
today as when they were first made. Bear 
in mind when planting a lawn that the 
cost of the seed represents a small part 
of the actual investment. Labor costs 
are usually far in excess of the cost of 
the seed. The false economy of saving 
a few cents on less expensive and inferior 
grasses is soon eaten up by the enormous 
and consistent expense of repatching a weedy irregular turf. 
Holmes Lawn Grass Seed has been thoroughly proven, not 
only on the smaller lawns of the city and suburban areas, but 
in city parks, at industrial plants, cemeteries and large estates. 
HOLMES Lawn Seed 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Mixture 
For establishing a fine, thick, permanent turf under average 
conditions, there is no better seed than Holmes Lawn Seed. 
It is composed of triple clean grasses of Kentucky Blue Grass, 
Creeping Red Fescue, Red Top and Creeping Bent. 
The famous Blue Grass makes a thick, basic turf. It re- 
sponds well to good fertility and flourishes in the spring and 
fall. Creeping Red Fescue is deep-rooted and thrives under 
more adverse conditions including hot weather and poor sandy 
soils. It has very slender leaves, spreads underground and 
fills in the thin spots with a firm sod. Red Top is used as a 
nurse grass to grow quickly and protect the other slower grow- 
ing perennial grasses. Creeping Bent thrives on fertile soil 
and with proper care makes the best appearing, “finest texture 
lawn. It likes close cutting and because of its creeping nature, 
it knits the sod together and fills in the thin spots. This mix- 
ture thrives in sun or partial shade. Price is transportation 
paid.

HOLMES Shady Lawn Mixture 
To make a good sod in shady locations, special grasses are 
required. Fescue, which thrives on poor soil and does well in 
the shade, is used in this mixture in larger portions than our 
regular lawn mixture. With a little extra fertilization under 
trees, a fine permanent sod can be obtained even where grass 
gets very little sun. This mixture should be sown in the early 
spring or fall, to get a good start while leaves are off of the 
trees. Price is transportation paid.
