You'd be surprised to see the great variation 
in grasses. If you examined them closely you 
would find a difference in color, in width of 
blade, in habit of growth; some: grow close to 
the ground, others grow upright. Some are 
tough and bunchy, others are tender and easy 
to cut. We study all of these characteristics 
and blend varieties that combine to form a 
good turf, a smooth, good looking surface and 
a rich velvety green color. That is why it is 
best to sow mixtures for it is only by combin- 
ing the desirable tested qualities of several 
grasses that the best lawn grass results can be 
obtained. Our lawn trials are established at our 
own Nursery Gardens, where they are grown 
under actual lawn conditions and where visi- 
tors may judge them as well. Vistiors are al- 
ways welcome at our Nursery where they may 
see the lawns for themselves, and are invited 
to ask questions about lawn making and lawn 
care. For out-of-town friends, we have LAWN 
TIPS which will be sent on request. 
EVERGREEN LAWN 
This is our best “dual-purpose’”’ lawn mixture. 
It is composed of moderately fine leaved 
grasses of upright habit of growth, grasses 
which will make a deep rooted turf and with- 
stand the extremes of winter freezing or hot 
summers. The fine wiry leaves are rich dark 
green in color and make a very attractive 
front yard, and also have sufficient endurance 
for the hard usage of the backyard. It remains 
green throughout the year. If mowed at regu- 
lar intervals and “dressed” occasionally it 
will make a very fine and attractive lawn. 
Sow 1 lb. to 10 x 20 ft., or 200 square feet.

serviceable as well. It grows in all sorts of 
soils and climates, from the cool coastal areas 
to the hot interior valleys, and always with 
gratifying results. 
We have established lawns of all our mxitures
