DUTHIE LAWN MIXTURE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Seed 
A wonderful mixture that is the result of years of experimenting. It is espe- 
cially prepared by us from the highest quality seeds that can be produced. 
It makes a smooth, green, velvety, lawn with a thick bottom, free from com- 
mon grasses which are inclined to produce clumps or knots. Only the very 
finest varieties of the most suitable grasses for making an even, thick turf 
are used in this mixture. The various grasses composing this well-balanced 
blend are fine-bladed and deep rooting, sure to produce the best results 
under average conditions of soil and climate. It is all plump, heavy seed of 
finest quality. Sow 1 pound for a plot 10 by 20 ft. (200 sq. ft.). 
Astoria Bent. This strain of Bent differs 
from the Seaside variety in that it 
spreads mostly underground, sending up 
many root stalks that produce a splen- 
did turf. The growth is upright, of fine 
texture and is a richer green than Sea- 
side Bent. It is more practical for lawns 
and succeeds best in heavy soils. Excel- 
lent for golf course use. Sow 1 pound to 
200 square feet. 
Chewings Fescue. Used extensively on 
fairways and tees on golf courses, and 
does well on any kind of soil. It also pro- 
duces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1 
pound to 150 square feet. 
Creeping Red Fescue. Fine, round bladed 
grass, excellent for lawns. Slightly red- 
dish at base. Fine for shade. Hardy. Sow 
1 pound to 150 square feet. 
Highland Bent Grass (Agrostis tenuis). 
Highland Bent is a strong surface and 
underground creeper that makes a dense, 
uniform, fine turf and is adapted to a 
wide range of soil and climatic condi- 
tions. A low grower, it is usually consid- 
ered as requiring less irrigation and 
standing more abuse than other bents. 
The dark green color holds well through- 
out the year. Very good for lawns, parks, 
and playgrounds. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. Makes an excel- 
lent lawn of a dark green color. It forms 
a fine mat, and with care and water 
makes one of the best lawns. Sow 1 
pound to 200 square feet. 
Red Top. A fine-bladed grass that suc- 
ceeds on almost any soil, although it 
does best under moist conditions. It is 
used in almost all lawn mixtures. Should 
not be planted by itself unless specifically 
recommended. Sow 1 pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Shadyland Blue Grass (Poa trivialis). An 
ideal perennial grass for shady spots. Is 
closly related to Kentucky Blue Grass, 
but somewhat finer and softer in texture. 
It is a creeper with an apple-green color. 
Requires plenty of water. Sow 1 pound 
to 200 square feet. 
Shady Lawn Mixture. This grass is espe- 
cially adapted for growing in very shady 
places or near building where other 
grasses will not grow. If you have a 
shady, barren place, try it. Sow 1 pound 
to 200 square feet. 
White Dutch Clover. Very low growing 
sort, principally used in poor ground to 
give a green cover. Many like it in lawns, 
especially where grass does not do well. 
Sow 1 pound to 300 square feet.

Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phos- 
phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phosphoric acid and lime which is formed 
by the’action of sulphuric acid on raw 
phosphate rock. It aids in plant nutri- 
tion and assists the plant to assimilate 
other ingredients. Superphosphate is an 
efficient fertilizer element for lettuce, 
truck crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering 
of lawns tends to sour the soil and 
eventually the Jawn becomes foul with 
sorrell, Creeping Charlie, and other 
weeds which thrive in an acid soil. This 
condition may be improved by applying 
hydranted lime. NOTE: Before applying 
lime to your lawn, consult your county 
agent or your seedsman. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is 
especially valuable for fruit trees and 
berries.
