HARRIS’ 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. “The Backbone of Fine Lawns’. 
This beautiful rich green grass is famous for its ability to make a 
thick, fine-textured, deep-rooted sod on many kinds of soil, especially 
when well fertilized. For lawns and permanent pastures it is essential. 
Our seed is extra clean, heavy and high germinating, giving far more 
good seed per pound. It weighs nearly 30 lbs. per bu. compared to the 
usual 21 lbs. 
1 Lb. $1.20; 2 Lbs. $2.30; 5 Lbs. $5.50; 10 Lbs. $10.50 postpaid.

COLONIAL BENT. This is the true Astoria Bent, the finest textured and 
best colored of the many strains offered. It responds well to extra 
care and fertilizing, thrives on close mowing, yet succeeds on acid 
soil. Semi-creeping in habit, it spreads underground and makes a 
dense beautiful turf. Sow not over 1 lb. to 600 sq. ft.

ILLAHEE CREEPING FESCUE. 
This superior strain of creeping fescue is extremely valuable for lawn 
mixtures. It makes a thick growth, spreading by underground runners, 
blends perfectly with other grasses and survives on almost any soil. 
Highly resistant to wear, adapted to sun or shade, it is a fine-leaved 
attractive grass that holds its color well. Outstanding in our tests.

THE GREAT NEW MERION 
MERION (B-27) BLUEGRASS. Order early—Supply limited. 
The last word in fine lawn seeds! Vigorous, low-growing, thick and 
attractive, this wonderful new grass is resistant to disease, tolerates 
heat and drouth and stays green all summer long. It makes a dense, 
well-knit turf of rich deep green color and excellent texture. 
Comparative tests not only on our farm but all over the country 
prove its superiority. Introduced by the U.S. Golf Association and 
recommended by experts everywhere, Merion thrives on close cutting 
and has the vigor and density to crowd out weeds. 
It is a hardy, absolutely permanent grass that deserves the best 
treatment. Provide plenty of fertility, lime if necessary and make the 
seed-bed carefully. Under proper conditions, 1 lb. of seed will sow 1000 
square feet. 
V% Lb. $2.10;1 Lb. $3.95; 2 Lbs. $7.85; 5 Lbs. or more at $3.90 per Lb.

The thicker texture 
and better color of 
Merion are due to 
its extra vigor and 
disease resistance. 
SEPARATE GRASSES FOR LAWNS 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS. For Winter Cover and Temporary Seeding. 
Use this low-cost, quick-growing grass for temporary seedings and for 
soil-improvement. Not suitable for permanent lawns but makes a fine 
cover on land not ready for final seeding. Ideal for garden and farm 
use to conserve organic matter, prevent erosion and leaching, and to 
add humus. Use 2 or 3 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. for a thick cover, 1 lb. 
per 1000 to winter over and less on larger areas. (See also photo and 
description on page 78). 
1 Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 5 Lbs. $1.50; 10 Lbs. $2.80 transportation paid. 
Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at 19c per Lb. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. True Kent Strain. The Best for Lawns. 
This year we proudly offer seed of the true Kent Wild White Clover, the 
ideal type for lawns. It is fine-leaved and low-growing, blending im 
perfectly with the grasses, and it blooms hardly at all when kept cut. 
In the summer when the grasses get brown, this clover stays green and 
vastly improves the appearance of the lawn. Do not confuse with ordi- 
nary white clover—this is a special low creeping type, far superior for 
lawn purposes. Excellent for improving existing lawns—just sow a 
very light seeding (1 Ib. to 7500 sq. ft.) early in the spring. 
Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 65c; 144 Lb. $1.10; Lb. $1.90; 5 Lbs. or more at $1.80 
per Lb. postpaid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. or more at $1.65 per Lb. 
LAWN WEED KILLERS 
2-4-D WEED KILLER. Amazingly effective. One application actually 
kills dandelions, plantain and other broad-leaved weeds without 
harming the grass. (Caution: 2-4-D injures some bent grasses.) Also 
useful for killing poison ivy, bindweed, thistles and annual weeds. 
4 Pint (liquid—treats 2,000 sq. ft.) 90c; 
1 Lb. Powder (treats 14 acre) $1.95 postpaid. 
TAT-C-LECT. Destroys Crab Grass. This selective chemical kills young 
and old crab grass and retards germination of the seed; it has been 
recommended by state experiment stations as one of the most effective 
crab grass controls. Injury to lawn grasses is only temporary. Two or 
three applications are required. Full directions with order. 
lg Pt. (8 oz.) treats 500 sq. ft., 80c; Pt. (16 oz.) $1.50 postpaid. 
BLUEGRASS FOR LAWNS 
MERION BLEND. The Finest Lawn Mixture. 
The famous new Merion Bluegrass is excellent to sow alone but is 
probably at its best in combination with the bents and fescues. This 
formula is based on our highly successful English Blend and contains 
70% Merion Bluegrass, 20% Colonial Bent and 10% Illahee Fescue. 
It represents, in our opinion, the ultimate in lawn grass mixtures. 
The other grasses help this mixture to thrive under a wide range of 
conditions. The bent adds a fine texture and the fescue withstands 
traffic. With proper care your lawn will be the envy of the neighborhood. 
Like the Merion bluegrass alone, this mixture does not grow quickly 
but it will last indefinitely. Fertilize well, prepare your soil with extra 
care and you can sow this mixture at 1 lb. per 1000 sq. ft. making 
the cost little more than for the regular types. 
14 Lb. $1.90; 1. Lb. $3.50; 2 Lbs. $6.90; 5 Lbs. or more at $3.40. per 
Lb. postpaid.
