For Sun or Shade 
The best lawn seed you can buy is the least expensive in the long run. There is 
little use in planting a lawn that cannot adapt itself to your climate. 
In GOLF BRAND Lawn Seed you are getting a blend of 11 perennial turf seeds 
selected for thriving growth under the climatic conditions of most areas. There is no 
Rye-grass or other short-lived fillers in Golf Brand. Kentucky Bluegrass, Creeping Red 
Fescue and Highland Bentgrass are all hardy perennials forming the basis of the mix- 
ture. To make it a truly all-purpose blend, eight other special purpose grasses have been added. Some are 
sun-loving, others tolerate shade. Included are the best grasses we have available for acid soils, heavy or 
light soils, for extra wet or extra dry growing conditions. Some are fast growing to give you a quick lawn 
and also protect the slower germinating varieties. Each is blended in sufficient quantity to do the job wher- 
ever conditions call for it. 
Golf Brand will make you a permanent lawn. With reasonable care you will have a thick carpet high- 
ly resistant to weed growth, and easy to care for. 
Golf Brand is not expensive when you consider it gives you almost three times as many seeds per pound 
as ordinary mixtures. Golf Brand is treated with a new fungicide for easier sprouting and growth—at no 
cost to you! Sow about one pound to every 200 square feet.
