growing. Wherever it exists, you need our 
special shade mixture. These excellent, shade 
enduring grasses and clovers have given 
superb results on many shaded lawns in this 
section. 
... OR SPECIAL NEEDS 
Parks, playgrounds, and golf courses need 
their own types of grass ... all different. 
We have the right seed for all special uses. 
Just bring your problem to us . . we'll 
furnish the seed you need and the know-how 
to make it grow. 
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 reseeding. The wise 
minimum for new lawn _ planting 
may be figured from this table: 
Size of Square Amount 
plot feet of seed 
10x20 200 Palbi ft} 
20x50 1,000 5 ibs; 
20x100 2,000 10 lbs. 
50x100 5,000 25 Ibs. 
100x100 10,000 90 Ibs. 
For re-seeding, use at least half the 
amount.

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 promptly. 
CHEWINGS FESCUE 
A superb grass to grow in rather 
shaded areas and even on fairly acid 
soil and under other unfavorable con- 
ditions. 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. 
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. 
Succeeds 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.

we can also supply just about any 
other grasses you may need. We carry
