PERFEGRO LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
For making a new lawn or for reseeding established lawns, 
use our special recleaned grass seed. 
There is nothing that will improve the appearance of your 
home so much as a well-kept lawn with a flower bed or two, 
and a liberal planting of shrubs along the borders. To have a 
good lawn it is necessary that you get your soil in fine condi- 
tion, that you sow a sufficient quantity of good seed, and that 
you take care of the grass after you have a stand. 
Our Lawn Seed has all been thoroughly recleaned, is of high 
purity and germination. Sow at the rate of 1 pound to 150 to 
200 square feet.

ture of 90 per cent Kentucky Blue Grass and 10 per cent 
des Dutch Clover. Postpaid (ib. $1.15) (5 Ibs. $5.50) (10 Ibs. 
$10.50). 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—Special Recleaned Seed—This is 
the most widely used grass for Lawns; forms a close, thick 
turf and is very hardy. Seed is slow to germinate and must 
be kept well watered with a fine spray until it is established. 
21 lb. Grade—Postpaid (Ib. $1.00) (5 Ibs. $4.75) (10 Ibs. $9.00). 
24 Ib. Grade—Postpaid (Ib. $1.15) (5 Ibs. $5.50) (10 Ibs. $10.50). 
MERION BLUE GRASS—One of the newest turf grasses, 
looks very much like Kentucky Blue, but is more drought 
tolerant, can be cut closer than other grasses, and is crab- 
grass resistant after it is established. Postpaid (Ib. $6.50). 
BUFFALO GRASS FOR LAW NS—Treated to hasten germina- 
tion. This is a low-growing long-lived drought-resistant peren- 
nial grass that spreads by numerous surface runners. Pro- 
fuse branching of runners enables this grass to form a dense 
sod. The leaf surface is a gray green, turning to purplish in 
late fall. Seed should be applied at the rate of from % to % 
pound per 1,000 square feet of lawn area. The seeding rate 
is readily obtained by spacing the seed 144 to % of an inch 
apart in the rows, or by dropping 15 to 20 seeds per foot of 
row, in rows one foot apart. After the lawn is up requires 
very little water, making it an ideal grass for farm lawns, 
parks and cemeteries. Postpaid (Ib. $1.50) (5 Ibs. $7.25) (10 Ibs. 
$14.00). 
ASTORIA BENT—This is the true Creeping Bent Grass, which 
spreads by underground roots and by stolons which creep 
over the ground and send down roots from their joints. It is 
very fine bladed and forms a thick velvety turf. It is quick 
growing and crowds out dandelions and other weeds. Sow 
one pound to 300 square feet. Postpaid (Ib. $1.50) (5 Ibs. $7.25) 
(10 Ibs. $14.00). 
When making a new lawn, be sure that the soil is well 
drained and that a sufficient amount of fertilizer has been in- 
corporated in the soil, using a fertilizer rich in plant food. 
Owing to an abundant crop of high grade Kentucky Blue 
Grass Seed this season prices on straight Kentucky Blue Grass 
and fine Lawn Mixtures are considerable cheaper. The base of 
all good Lawn Mixtures is Blue Grass. 
As a top dressing use a balanced Fertilizer, such as Vigoro or 
Sacco, or incorporate the fertilizer in the soil before sowing the 
seed. Do not use barnyard manure for top dressing. 
CANADA BLUE GRASS—A more rapid grower than Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass and equally good for pasture but not 
as suitable for lawns. This is an excellent pasture grass for 
poor, dry land and should be more largely used for this pur- 
pose. Postpaid (Ib. $1.25) (5 Ibs. $6.00) (10 Ibs. $11.50). 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER—This is a low growing clover used 
principally for lawns in a mixture with Blue Grass. It ger- 
minates quickly and acts as a protection for the slower ger- 
minating Blue Grass. Postpaid (14 Ib. 40c) (Ib. $1.25) (5 Ibs. 
$6.00) (10 Ibs. $11.50). 
COOS OR SEASIDE BENT—This variety differs only from 
the Astoria Bent in that it creeps more on top of the ground, 
thus forming, when it has been well established, somewhat 
of a turf or matting on top of the soil which tends to crowd 
out weeds. Postpaid (Ib. $1.50) (5 Ibs. $7.25) (10 Ibs. $14.00). 
CREEPING RED FESCUE—A fine leaved, persistent, turf- 
forming grass, excellent for shade and is valuable in lawn 
mixtures. Postpaid (lb. $1.25) (5 Ibs. $6.00) (10 Ibs. $11.50). 
RYE GRASS (Domestic)—A valuable grass for pastures and 
lawns when quick results are required. Thrives well on any 
soil. Postpaid (Ib. 50c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
RYE GRASS (Perennial)—Rapid growing grass, useful for 
making lawns where immediate effects are wanted. Valuable 
eran and pasture. Postpaid (Ib. 60c) (5 Ibs. $2.75) (10 Ibs. 
ioe 
MEADOW FESCUE OR ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—Grows 
best on moist soils. Robust in habit, yet never grows into 
large tufts. Superior to Rye Grass for lawns. Postpaid: (Ib. 
75c) (5 Ibs. $3.50) (10 Ibs. $6.50). 
CHEWING’S FESCUE—This is used in mixtures for fine 
lawns for putting greens, wherever a particularly fine-leaved 
grass is wanted. Postpaid (Ib. $1.25) (5 Ibs. $6.00) (10 Ibs. $11.50). 
CRESTED WHEAT (Fairway Strain)—This strain was de- 
veloped in Canada for use in lawns, fairways, boulevards, 
school yards, cemeteries, parks and in areas where water is 
not readily available. It is a hardy, drought-resistant fine- 
stemmed grass. Postpaid (Ib. $1.00) (5 Ibs. $4.50) (10 Ibs. $8.50). 
BERMUDA GRASS FOR THE SOUTH—A southern grass 
with dwarf habits, long creeping stems rooting at the joints 
that cover the ground with a matting of fine turf. Not suited 
for northern latitudes. Hulled seed. Postpaid (Ib. $1.00) (5 
Ibs. $4.75) (10 Ibs. $9.00). 
POA TRIVIALIS (Rought Stalk Meadow Grass)—Well adapted 
to shade where the soil is fertile and well watered, resembles 
Kentucky Blue Grass in color. Postpaid (Ib. $1.25) (5 Ibs. 
$6.00) (10 Ibs. $11.50).
