7. Why Shouldn’t You Know What Is in a Good 
af Lawn Grass Seed Mixture Before You Buy It 
You Should Know What You Are Buying 
FACT 1 The more Certified Illahee Creeping Fescue and 
Kentucky Blue Grass a mixture contains, the better 
the mixture. 
FACT 2 Both are Perennials and live indefinitely. However, 
they require two or three years to reach full maturity. 
FACT 3 Meanwhile they need quick-growing Red-Top and Rye 
Grass as nurse crops to shade them in their early growth. 
FACT 4 Your first years lawn is mostly Red Top and Rye Grass. 
FACT 5 After a few years, Certified Illahee Creeping Fescue 
and Kentucky Blue Grass will be at their best; they 
form the permanent lawn.

BUILD LAWNS IN POOR SOILS WITH 
BURNETT-SEEDSMEN’S “‘POORSOIL LAWNMIX”’ 
Drouth Resistant grasses is the answer to establishing a lawn in poor, 
sandy soils, for the same reason that-camels, not horses, are used in the 
desert. - - So, Burnett-Seedsmen have selected the best drouth grass, 
namely, Creeping Red Fescue (Illahee strain). Because of it’s tolerance 
of drouth, Illahee is especially adapted to dry, sandy or gravelly soils— 
poor or rich. Tllahee Creeping Red Fescue produces a deep rooted sod 
that withstands tramping and abuse. It spreads out, carpet-like, by 
means of underground rootstocks and overground stems. The grass blades 
are rich green, fine, smooth and soft; they stay green when other grasses 
brown and sear in Summer. Illahee is disease resistant; stands close 
cutting; grows in sun or shade and reaches full maturity in two years. 
It grows well with Highland Bent, also included in Burnett-Seedsmen’s 
Poorsoil Lawnmizx. Highland Bent’s growth habit somewhat parallels 
Illahee Fescue, especially being able to withstand adverse conditions of 
climate and low soil fertility. To these two permanent grasses is added 
a small percentage of domestic Rye Grass which acts as a nurse crop. 
Burnett-Seedsmen’s “Poorsoil Lawnmix” contains 75% Illahee Fescue, 
5% Highland Bent and 20% domestic Rye grass, by weight.

NEW BLUE GRASS... . MERION B-27 
Although Kentucky Blue grass makes the finest lawn carpet, it does not 
grow well in warm climates and in poor, sandy soils, and is subject to 
disease, which slowly kills it off. A new strain, Merion B-27 has been 
developed that is disease resistant and does well everywhere. Only hand- 
fuls are available. Y% lb. $1.75; 1b. $6.50
