Here’s How fo Figure Seed Requirements 
For seeding bare ground 4 to 5 pounds of seed is needed per thousand 
square feet. In reseeding where some grass is already present, the condi- 
tion of the turf will determine to a considerable extent the amount needed. 
Usually, about half as much as for a full seeding is used. 
We maintain a complete stock of the various individual grasses and would 
be pleased to quote on any special formulas made up to order.

tion with other grasses. This is espe- 
cially true in making a new lawn. This 
assures you of plump, high-germinating 
seeds. Fancy Grade: Lb. $1.00; 10 Ibs. 
$9.50; 25 lbs. $23.00; 100 lbs. $90.00.
