Fall Seed for a Weed-Free Lawn 
Whether you are seeding a new lawn or 
rejuvenating an old one, you just cannot 
beat a fall seeding. 
One of the main advantages of seeding in 
August or September is the fact that you 
eliminate a good share of your weeds. You'll 
have an established beautiful lawn by the 
time the snow flies. The main weed crop 
in the spring won't be able to take it over. 
yi A 
— 
It never has paid to sow ‘‘cheap” lawn 
seed and it never will. We harvest our own 
Blue Grass and it is absolutely “tops” in 
quality — northern-grown seed. Remember 
to seed early in the fall for best results. 
All Gurney’s Lawn Seed is Hormone Treated 
When you buy lawn seed from Gurney’s 
you get Hormone-treated seed—at no extra 
cost. This Hormone treatment makes the 
seed germinate better and the seedlings are 
more resistant to soil-borne diseases and 
“damping off’. The resulting heavy root 
system means\a Gurney lawn can stand mote 
drouth, more wear and traffic. Have a 
richer, greener lawn next spring with our 
Hormone-treated seed. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
FINEST EXTRA-HEAVY SEED—-Heavy seed means 
weed-free seed. Start your new lawn early this 
fall for best results. Blue Grass is a slow starter, 
bue it Jasts for years. We have true Northern- 
grown, Northern-harvested Kentucky Blue Grass of 
extremie hardiness. Use 1 lb. for 225 square ft. 
1 Ib. 1.20; 3 Ibs. 3.45; 5 Ibs. 5.65; 10 Ibs. 10.95, 
postpaid. 
NEW CREEPING BENT GRASS 
Everybody likes Bent Grass for lawns. This is 
the true creeping variety and is hardier and more 
drouth-resistant than’ any other we know of. Bent 
Grass requires more care and moisture than other 
types but is well worth the trouble because of its 
unusual beauty. 1 Ib. 1.25; 3 Ib. 3.45; 5 Ibs. 5.65, 
postpaid.

NEW MERION BLUE GRASS MIXTURE 
This new 1009 perennial grass mixture is a 
dandy. Contains approximately 30% Merion 
Blue and the balance the right proportions of 
Creeping Fescue, Highland Bent plus plenty of 
Poa Trivialis. For an excra-heavy turf, dark green 
lawn that stays green, stands closer mowing, is 
disease resistant and perfectly hardy, plant this 
Merion mixture. Fall is the ideal time to plant. 
Merion Blue Grass doesn’t ‘‘go to sleep” in 
the summer months. Stays dark green, low- 
growing, disease-resistanc and helps fight off 
Crabgrass invasion. 1 pound of mixture covers 
750 square feet. Goes 3 times farther than 
regular blue grass mixtures. Takes less seed 
when you plant Merion mixture so your actual 
cost is no more and you have a nicer lawn.
