Buist’s Lawn Grass Mixtures 
September and October is the Best Time to Plant a Lawn 
The fall season is the best time to sow Lawn Grass Seed. The soil is warm and friable,

ables the roots to become well established before freezing weather sets in. 
Competition 
from weeds is less, and root growth is well established before Spring. ‘

season of beauty, and the result of this blending is the production of a sod that is always 
’ evergreen and velvety in appearance.
