LETHERMAN’S LAWN MIXTURES 
ARE BLENDED TO MAKE FINE, THICK, PERMANENT LAWNS 
There is no magic about it, just plain common sense and knowledge of the characteristics 
of various grasses. The ingredients are refined to high purity and they are put together in 
the right proportions for this territory where you live. Also, we know that good seed is 
only one part of a good lawn. Prepare the soil and feed well. It’s much easier and better 
to build a good foundation first. Consult us about preparation and the seed requirements. 
NOTES ON LAWN MAKING—A leaflet recently prepared to answer your questions about lawn 
making and maintenance. We will gladly give you a copy. 
McKinley Park Mixture 
Our formula now includes Bent Grass 
A splendid mixture for quick yet permanent re- 
sults. Our most popular blend. The basis and 
permanent grasses are Kentucky Blue and Chewings 
Fescue with some White Clover. These are supple- 
mented by quick growing nurse grasses Which make 
a good green cover until the permanent grasses are 
well established. The result is a beautiful fine leaved 
lawn. 
Lb. 95c, 3 Ibs. $2.85, 5 lbs. $4.50, 10 Ibs. $8.75, 
25 Ibs. or more at 85c per Ib. 
Evergreen Mixture 
A first class blend of recleaned grasses that will 
establish a good permanent lawn, durable yet fine 
leaved. Contains clover.

Shady Dell Mixture 
Very carefully blended, as is McKinley Park but 
containing a much larger proportion of varieties that 
will thrive in the shade. It must be considered also 
that soil which supports heavy tree growth as well 
as lawn, needs extra supplies of plant food and 
moisture.

White Dutch Clover 
The best clover for lawn use. Roots quickly and 
deep.

FINE GRASSES FOR LAWNS 
We also carry big stocks of the following separate grasses for special lawn requirements and can make 
special mixtures to your formulae. 
Kentucky Blue. Used as the basis for most Lawn 
Mixtures in this section. It is a fine leaved perma- 
nent grass, deep rich green in color. It spreads 
by creeping roots and makes a very close turf 
when conditions are at all favorable. Blue grass 
is slow to establish itself, which is the reason 
why we recommend using it in mixture with other 
quicker growing grasses. This reduces the weed 
problem. 
Recleaned grade, Ib. 85c, 5 Ibs. at 80c per lb. 
Red Top. Very quick growing and fairly permanent. 
Fine leaved—valuable in lawn or pasture. 
Fancy grade, Ib. 85c, 5 Ibs. at 80c Ib. 
Chewings Fescue. Excellent deep green fine leaved 
grass for shade or sun. Excellent blended with 
Kentucky Blue Grass. 
Lb. 90c, 5 Ibs. at 85c Ib. 
Creeping Red Fescue. Fine leaved variety, the most 
desirable for shady conditions.

for moist spots. Blends very well with Kentucky 
Blue Grass. Lb. $1.35, 5 Ibs. at $1.30 Ib.

making an immediate covering. Especially desir- 
able for protection of slower growing grasses,

spreads by overground stolons. Lb. $1.45.
