LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
SEEDS FOR EVERY LAWN REQUIREMENT 
About Lawns 
A good lawn is, without doubt, one of 
the important features of the home 
grounds or of any landscape design. It 
should be remembered when consider- 
ing a new lawn that the cost of the seed 
is only a very small part of the actual 
investment. The labor cost is the great- 
est. It is thus no economy to save a few 
cents by buying seed of a questionable 
quality, only to realize the added expense 
in years to come of repatching and doing 
the lawn over and over again. We take 
pleasure in recommending our grades of 
Kentucky Blue Grass, which are the best 
obtainable, and also our mixtures for 
special purposes as listed below. 
The 1953 crop of Kentucky Blue Grass 
was the smallest crop we have had for 
years and it looks like there may not be 
enough to go around. We suggest that 
you order early as these prices will be 
subject to market changes and are effec- 
tive as long as our supply lasts.

MERION B-27 BLUE GRASS 
This is a new strain of Blue Grass 
that started from a single plug of 
turf at the Merion Golf Club in 
Pennsylvania. It makes a dense, 
dark green turf, spreads rapidly 
and crowds out weeds because of 
its vigorous growth. In tests, Me- 
rion Blue Grass shows a great ad- 
vantage over regular Blue Grass in 
the control of Crab Grass, due to its 
husky, well-rooted plants, free of 
disease, with more drought toler- 
ance that fights off Crab Grass 
plant invasion. Use only one pound 
for 400 to 500 square feet.
