MERION BLUE GRASS-ZOYSIA JAPONICA 
LAWNSEED MIXTURE 
We take pleasure in introducing the most re- 
markable development in lawn seeding in many 
years. This sensational formula contains grasses 
which will enable you to maintain a dense car- 
pet of smooth, green turf during the entire grow- 
ing season from early spring right through the 
hot summer months until winter sets in. 
Our formula contains 45% Merion Blue Grass 
which has proved its worth as just about the 
finest of all cool-season grasses. It is a great 
improvement over standard blue grass as it 
spreads faster; requires less mowing and with- 
stands closer cutting; resists weeds and diseases. 
This seed is much smaller, thus less seed is 
needed to plant a given area. 
Zoysia Japonica is the only known grass 
which thrives best in hot weather when other 
grasses become dormant and permit weeds to 
invade lawns. Zoysia actually outgrows Crab- 
grass and prevents its spreading. 
Illahee Fescue, a new strain of Creeping Red 
Fescue developed a few years ago, is a peren- 
nial grass of fine texture and pleasing color that 
does well in poor or rich soil and is highly resist- 
ant to drought and disease. 
By blending these three permament grasses 
you get the benefit of all their outstanding quali- 
ties. However, as is the case with all permanent 
grasses, this new formula is not a fast growing 
one. To overcome this we have added some Red 
Top, a quick germinating nurse grass which 
keeps down weed growth until the other grasses 
become firmly established. 
One pound of Merion Blue-Zoysia Mixture 
covers about 700 square feet. This is more than 
three times the area planted with standard lawn 
seed mixtures, thus making our new formula no 
more expensive.
