ILLAHEE LAWN SEED MIXTURE 
Illahee Lawn Seed Mixture contains the proper percentage 
of the best adapted grasses for general lawn use, with a re 
dominance of Illahee Fescue, the new wonder or Paradise 
grass. (See peiow) 
The mixture will do exceptionally well in both sunny and 
shady locations and will not brown in summer like other 
grasses, but will continue growing and retain its beautiful 
green color throughout the hot season. : 
Illahee Lawn Grass Mixture provides a heavy, deep rooted 
sod that survives on poor soils, and withstands hard usage 
or tramping. Because of the dense root growth and luxuri- 
ous sod produced by this mixture, Crab Grass and other 
weeds find it almost impossible to become established as they 
are soon crowded out. Sow one pound to 200 square feet, 
4471—Lb,, $1.25; 2 lbs., $2.33; 5 Ibs., $5.57; 10 Ibs., $10.89, post- 
paid. Not prepaid: 25 lbs., $25.50; 100 Ibs., $100.00. 
ILLAHEE FESCUE 
Illahee Fescue, the new wonderful grass for lawns, has 
been produced in the Pacific Northwest through the efforts 
of the United States Department of Agriculture. 
Because of its superior disease resistance, wearability, root 
density and the fact that it holds its green color during the 
summer heat, it was named “Illahee” an Indian word mean- 
ing Paradise, It is very fine leaved, extremely hardy. 
Because of its deep rooting habit, Illahee is termed a low- 
fertility grass growing well on poor soils:and is recom- 
mended for all general lawn use, as it is very drought re- 
sistant, needs little fertilization and will also grow exceed-

SHADY PLACE 
LAWN SEED MIXTURE 
Not all grasses are grown successfully 
in shade or partial shade, and we have 
therefore prepared this mixture of fine 
leaved grasses that are naturally adapted 
for this purpose. We recommend sowing 
early in Spring, if possible before the 
ground is shaded to any great extent, 
using one pound to 150 square feet. If the 
ground has been densely shaded and is 
sour, it is well to apply some slaked lime 
as well as commercial fertilizer. Use 1 Ib. 
to 150 square feet. Contains no timothy.

appear. Contains no timothy. Sow one
