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 of 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.).

from the Seaside variety in that it

Bent. It is more practical for lawns and 
succeeds best in heavy soils. Excellent

nee excellent for lawns. Slightly red- 
ish at base. Fine for shade. Hardy. Sow

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-

standing more abuse than other bents.

out the year. Very good for lawns, parks, 
and playgrounds.

ceeds on almost any soil, although it

eet.

ideal perennial grass for shady spots. Is

ately slow fertilizer is needed for the 
deep-rooted shrubbery and where a per- 
fectly safe fertilizer is required. It con- 
tains phosphoric acid and some nitrogen. 
Granulated Peat Moss. For greenhouse, 
garden and home. Our peat moss is of 
the finest quality you can buy anywhere 
at any price. Its use contributes to the 
humus content of the soil, lightening 
heavy clay and binding sandy soils. It 
insulates soil against freezing and thaw- — 
ing in winter and conserves moisture in 
summer. Clean, odorless and economical 
to use. 
Sheep Guano. An efficient fertilizer to

Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phos- 
phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phospnetic acid and lime which is formed 
y 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 eventu- 
ally the lawn becomes foul with sorrel, 
Creeping Charlie, and other weeds which 
thrive in an acid soil. This condition may 
be improved by applying hydrated lime. 
NOTE: Before applying lime to your 
lawn, consult your county agent or your 
seedsman. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is espe- 
cially valuable for fruit trees and berries.
