LAWN GRASS SEED 
In buying Lawn Seed you are likely to get just about what 
you are willing to pay for. It comes in many qualities, and 
at as many prices. When you make a new lawn, you are 
building for a long time to come. It doesn’t pay to use poor 
materials, and the basic material then is the grass seed. Our 
AVALON LAWN GRASS BLEND is made up from the fine- 
leafed long-lived, deep rooting kinds that one needs to pro- 
duce a permanent, velvety turf. Pretty certain you won’t get 
a better lawn mixture anywhere at the price. % Ib. 70c; 1 Ib. 
$1.25; 2 Ibs. $2.40; 5 Ibs. $6.00; 10 lbs. $11.50.
