A better lawn for your home? We can help you! 
When a seedsman operates in only one area, he soon knows just 
about all there is to know about lawn-building in that area. 
We've been at it for quite along time, hereabouts! So we can 
assure you that we know what your lawn needs. Whatever your 
lawn situation may be, it's a good idea to ask us about it! 
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 send- 
ing out runners in all directions. With 
proper watering and care, it makes a 
strong, enduring turf. If damaged it heals 
over promplily. 
Chewings Fescue 
A superb grass to grow in rather 
shaded areas and even on fairly acid 
soil and under other unfavorable condi- 
tions. Plants grow low, make a dense 
turf. Often used for putting greens and 
fairways. 
White Dutch Clover 
Although not a grass, White Clover is 
very desirable in lawn mixtures be- 
cause of its rapid, low growth and 
creeping stems. Valuable as a green 
cover for poor ground. Succeeds best on 
moist ground or during wet season. 

Our finest Lawn Mixture 
Our selected lawn mixture is a combi- 
nation of the finest quality seeds— 
which we have developed after years 
of experience. All the grasses in it are 
fine-bladed and deep-rooting. There just 
isn’t any better combination than this 
for the lawns of our territory! 
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 becoming established, Suc- 
ceeds well on almost any soil. 
Perennial Rye Grass 
A quick growing grass, most suitable 
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 over- 
flowing, better than other grasses. Also 
does well on almost any good, rich soil. 
Often thrives where Blue Grass fails— 
and therefore makes an excellent sup- 
plement 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 successfully grown in this part of 
the country. Just tell us what you want! 
Our special Shade Mixture 
Our shade lawn mixture is a scientifi- 
cally developed blend of top quality 
shade enduring grasses and clovers. 
We've been getting excellent results 
with it for years and believe it will 
produce results anywhere that grass 
can be made to grow.

type of seed; some need another. 
No single variety or mixture of va- 
rieties can take care of all situa- 
tions, But whatever the need, we 
can supply the seed that is best 
suited.

Wherever cool shade makes it dif- 
ficult to obtain a good lawn, our 
special shade mixture is heartily 
recommended. We have chosen ex- 
cellent quality, shade enduring 
grasses and clovers that will give 
you good results. 

SPECIAL USES 
We have just the right grass seed 
for every purpose. We can give 
you special deep-rooted grasses for 
the sloping lawn, the ideal grasses 
for planting on golf courses, parks, 
estates, cemeteries . . . or for just 
any other special use, Just tell us 
what you want.
