Many grades of lawn grass seeds of varying qualities are offered for sale. Many contain 
seeds of worthless character, chaff, and weed seeds. Often a single variety or a blend of two 
grasses is sold as lawn seed. The best lawn is produced from a mixture of several natural grasses. 
To be of greatest value, these grasses must be properly proportioned in the mixture so that 
there is enough of each to serve its specific purpose. The mixtures we offer, made up from 
special formule, are the result of years of experiment and of practical tests. Each mixture 
will produce a turf ideally suited to each purpose. Complete directions with every package. 
ELITE LAWN SEED 
A very superior blend of only the finest and most desirable separate lawn grasses in such proportion 
as to produce a perfect lawn, but one which requires no special care such as an all-Bent Mixture. The 
Elite turf is of very fine texture and splendid deep green color yet is sturdy and withstands normal wear. 
It lends itself to easy mowing and because of its thick, close root-mat discourages the growth of ordinary 
weeds. It is not mixed to sell at a fixed price and is better value than cheaper mixtures. 
Compare this analysis with all others. There’s no better mixture at any 
price. Grows a perfect enduring lawn of which you'll be justly proud.
