LAWN SEEDS 
... from a “‘home’’ seedsman who knows 
the lawn needs of this territory! 
The only way to thick, lasting turf is to sow a mixture 
of true turf grasses suited to your soil and climatic 
conditions, and the only way to get such a mixture is to 
depend on a seed specialist who knows your territory. 
Astoria Bent 
Produces numerous root stocks 
which spread underground and 
‘throw up new shoots, making a 
very thick turf. This Bent has a 
good -color and is excellent for 
lawns and putting greens. Does 
not require as much cutting as 
Creeping Bent. 
Seaside Bent 
A true creeping Bent. The plant 
is dwarf, and multiplies rapidly 
by sending out runners in all 
directions. With proper watering 
and care, it makes a strong, en- 
during turf. If damaged it heals 
over promptly. 
Chewings Fescue 
A superb grass to grow in rather 
shaded areas and even on fairly 
acid soil and under other un- 
favorable conditions. Plants grow 
low, make a dense turf, Often 
used for putting greens and fair- 
ways. 
White Dutch Clover 
Although not a grass, White 
Clover is very desirable in lawn 
mixtures because of its rapid, low 
growth and creeping stems. 
Valuable as a green cover for 
poor ground, Succeeds best on 
moist ground or during wet sea- 
son. 
Our Finest 
Lawn Mixture 
A combination of the finest 
quality seeds—a mixture 
which we have developed 
after years of experience. 
All of the grasses in it are 
fine-bladed and deep root- 
ing. There just isn't a bet- 
ter combination than this 
for the lawns of this ter- 
ritory. . 
Our Special 
Shade Mixture 
Our shade lawn mixture is 
a scientifically developed 
dlend of top quality, shade- 
enduring grasses and 
clovers. We've been get- 
ting excellent results with 
it for years and believe it 
will produce fine results 
anywhere that grass can 
be made to grow. 

Kentucky Blue Grass 
Produces a deep dark green lawn 
of close thick turf. Maintains its 
green color until late in fall. 
Roots are deep, and plants are 
very hardy. 
Domestic Rye Grass 
A quick-growing annual, valuable 
in lawn mixtures as a nurse crop, 
to keep lawn green while better, 
slow-growing varieties are be- 
coming established. Succeeds 
well on almost any soil. 
Perennial Rye Grass 
A quick growing grass, most suit- 
able for mixtures. Succeeds on 
almost any soil not water sogged. 
Red Top 
Particularly suitable 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— 
and therefore makes an excellent 
supplement for it. 
Other Grasses 
Besides the lawn grasses listed 
here, we can also supply just 
about any other grasses you may 
need. We carry a complete line 
of all varieties that can be suc- 
cessfully grown in this part of 
the country. Just tell us what you 
want! 
How Much Seed? 
Skimpy seeding is 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 mini- 
mum for new lawn plant- 
ing may be figured from 
this table: 
Size of Square Amount 
plot feet 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 at least 
half the amount. 
What Kind of Seed? 
Climate, amount of sun or 
shade, soil conditions, 
drainage, slope, all must 
be considered. 
That's why we 
suggest 
that lawn seed should be 
bought from the seedsman 
who can weigh all these 
factors and help you to 
the right answer.
