BURPEE’S GRASS SEED for Fall Sowing 
The best time to start your lawn, or to repair it, is during the cool weather of early fall. At this time the weather is favorable for 
the development of domestic grass but unfavorable for most weeds and wild annual grasses. Why not plan now to have a luxuriant lawn e 
that will add so much to the beauty of your home? For new lawns, sow 1 lb. of grass seed to 200 sq. ft.; 100 to 150 lbs. per acre. To im- 3 
prove old lawns, half these quantities should be sufficient. We offer several different mixtures for various purposes. 
4914 Burpee’s Fordhook Finest Lawn Grass Seed 
Best All-Purpose Mixture; especially prepared from the highest quality seeds that can be produced. It makes 
a smooth, green, velvety lawn with a thick bottom, free from clumps. Only the very best fine-leaved and deep- 
rooted varieties of the most suitable grasses for making an even, thick mass of sod are used in this mixture. Sure 
to produce the best results under average conditions of soil and climate. A small quantity of white clover has been _ 
included in this special Burpee blend; it helps to prevent the soil from washing away during heavy rains. ee
