LAWN SEEDS 
.-- from a ‘“‘home’”’ seedsman who knows 
the lawn needs of this territory! 
When you see a really good lawn hereabouts, you're 
most likely looking at one that got its start in our store. 
We KNOW what kind of seed it takes to make a good 
lawn in this area—and that's the kind of seed we sell! 
Unhulled Bermuda Grass 
Best for sunny exposure and 
summer lawns. Makes vigorous 
and persistent growth, lasts for 
years, stands long, hot summers 
well and grows well in any soil 
not too wet. Ideal for lawns, golf 
courses and athletic fields. Makes 
a tough, even turf without clumps 
and recovers quickly after cutting. 
For best results, sow when 
ground is thoroughly warm and 
moist. 
Hulled Bermuda 
Highest grade Bermuda. Removal 
of the hard, almost water-tight 
hull speeds germination. With 
proper moisture conditions, seed 
germinates in one to two weeks 
and develops rapidly into a beau- 
tiful green lawn, 
Winter Rye Grass 
The winter grass for all the 
south, Fast-growing annual grass 
with long, flat leaves. Stands 
close and frequent mowings: 
Scratch seed into Bermuda sod 
for green lawn until Bermuda 
comes out again in summer. 
Makes a delightful green lawn 
in sun or shade. Must be re- 
planted each year, 
Our Finest 
Lawn Mixture 
For use wherever a mix- 
ture is applicable—a_for- 
mula which we have de- 
veloped after years of 
experience. All of the 
grasses in it are  fine- 
bladed and deep rooting. 
There just isn't a better 
combination than this for 
the lawns of this territory. 

Our Special 
Shade Mixture 
Our shade lawn mixture is 
a scientifically developed 
blend of top quality, shade- 
enduring grasses and 
clovers. We've been get- 
ting excellent results with 
it for years and will be 
glad to advise you about 
its use, 

Kentucky Blue Grass 
Deep, vivid green. Very narrow 
leaf blades. Plants are slightly 
creeping. A fine lawn grass 
under proper conditions. How- 
ever, we recommend it only 
where it has been proved. 
Carpet Grass 
Exceedingly hardy. Does better 
than any other grass in poor, 
sandy soil, The more mowing 
and trampling it gets the better it 
likes it. Good only in certain 
areas, 
Red Top 
Good for low, wet spots. Stands 
wet weather and even over- 
flowing, better than other grasses. 
Does well on 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 in mix- 
tures. Succeeds best on moist 
ground or during a wet season. 
Other Grasses 
In addition to the lawn grasses 
listed here, we can supply just 
about any other variety you 
need. We carry a complete line 
of all grass varieties that can 
be grown successfully in this 
part of the country. 
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 121b. 
20x50 1,000 5 Ibs, 
20x100 2,000 10 lbs. 
50x100 S002 lbs. 
100x100 10000 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. 


FOR SUNNY PLOTS 
Some sunny lawns require one type of seed; some 
need another. No single variety or mixture of va- 
rieties can take care of all situations, But whatever 
the need, we can supply the seed that is best suited 
—and can help you to plan and produce the beauti- 
ful lawn you want.

good lawn, our special shade mixture is heartily rec- 
ommended. We have chosen excellent quality, shade 
enduring grasses and clovers ... and have blended 
them into a mixture that will give you surprising 
results,
