SUTTON’S GRASS SEEDS 
A lawn of fine texture can * 
only be obtained by sowing a_ 
suitable mixture of grass seeds, — 
omitting Perennial Rye Grass. 
To produce such a lawn, how- | 
ever, costs more than it did 
formerly, owing to the very 
heavy increase in the prices of § 
the finer grasses—a fact brought 
about by present-day high pro- 
duction costs over which the } 
seed merchant has no control. 
If it is absolutely essential § 
to economise, the wisest course | 
to adopt is to reduce the rate of 
sowing from 2 ounces per square 
yard to 1} ounces, or even 1 
ounce. It should always be 
borne in mind, however, that 
from such lower rates of seeding | 
more time will be taken for the | 
formation of a dense turf and 
more opportunity afforded for 
indigenous weeds to become 
established.

the turf is very thin. 
If the finest type of turf is not required, it will be seen that we can supply mixtures containing a moderate percentage 
of Perennial Rye Grass, the inclusion of which automatically cheapens the mixture. Perennial Rye Grass is, indeed, the 
predominant ingredient in many of the cheap mixtures of grass seeds widely advertised and offered for sale throughout the 
country.
