Shadu Laon Seed 
This blend consists of over 40 percent Fescue, most of which 
is Chewing’s Fescue, the one grass that develops a fine, firm mat- 
ted turf in hard-to-grow places, such as under trees and in shaded 
areas around buildings. There is included in this mixture enough 
of the various perennials to blend with the Fescue and give you a 
deep thick turf that not only Iooks well but will withstand hard 
usage. 
For those shaded areas it pays to use lawn seed especially pre- 
pared for that purpose, and @li English Shady is the answer to 
this perplexing lawn problem.
