For a big lawn or for a small yard, be sure to sow only 
high quality, high germinating lawn grass! It is much 
cheaper in the final results — a few cents saved in the 
initial purchase price may mean a costly saving. Ferris’ 
Lawn Grass Seed is of the highest quality and has been 
providing beautiful lawns in all parts of the country. 
None of our grass seed contains any timothy.

Soo taylan 
bs Northern Green Our best all around mixture, carefully 
S 
blended from the various grasses that will produce those fine green lawns; 
and containing the right percentage of White Dutch Clover. For a new lawn Bi 
or for patching up bare spots in an established lawn, we consider Sterling — 
‘ 
: 
Northern Green the best mixture to plant regardless of price. Sow about one 
pound to every 200 square feet. Pulverize and evenly rake the top soil, sow 
our Sterling Northern Green Lawn Seed thinly and evenly, firm it well, and 
in seven weeks give the lawn its first cutting. In watering the lawn, sprinkle 
it evenly and gently so as not to wash away any seed and thus create bare 
spots. Contains no timothy. 

If your lawn is not entirely satisfactory, try some of Ferris’ Sterling North- 3 
ern Green Lawn Seed this year. 1 lb. (in box), $1.15; 3 lb. (bag), $3.25; 
5 lb. (bag), $4.95 (postage extra). 

Homelawn An economically priced lawn grass mixture containing only 
high grade seeds, but without the White Dutch clover. Extremely popular as 
a quick cover lawn seed where conditions necessitate constant teseeding. 
Contains no timothy. Sow one pound to 200 square feet. 1 Ib. (in box), 6Sc; : 
5 lb. (bag), $2.75 (postage extra). ‘

Shady Place Foy shaded locations, sow Ferris’ Shady Place Lawn td 
Grass Mixture! Shady places on the lawn, or lawns entirely shaded, require be 
special grasses, and in this mixture we offer a blend of the various fine 7 
leaved grasses that have been most valuable in producing a beautiful lawn — q 
in shade or part shade. Sow one pound to 150 square feet. Contains no 
timothy. 1 lb. (in box), $1.00; 3 lb. (bag), $2.50 (postage extra). 
‘ 
White Dutch Clouer For planters who like an extra heavy 
growth of clover in their lawn, this should be added at the rate of 2 oz. to 
every 2 lbs. of grass seed. Sow separately for more even distribution. 
1 lb. (in box), $1.25 (postage extra). ;
