SHADY NOOK LAWN MIXTURE 
On many lawns there are unsightly bare spots under trees 
and between adjoining houses where it is impossible to get the 
ordinary lawn grass to grow. Our mixture for shade is made 
up of short-growing, fine-leaved, shade-loving grasses that 
will give you an evergreen sod in the most densely shaded 
spots. Sow at rate of 1 pound to each 200 square feet of new 
lawn; reseeding 350 square feet of old lawn. 2 Ib. 95c; Ib.

MERION BLUE GRASS BLEND 
Lawns put in last spring with this mixture of 100% peren- 
nial grasses proved very successful. They started out satis- 
factorily in the spring, came through a very dry, hot sum- 
mer, and went into the winter with an unusually deep, thick 
turf, for a six-month lawn. 
This new Merion Blue grass, the backbone of this mixture, 
with its ability to resist disease, keep healthy and rich green 
throughout the heat of summer should help this seed mixture 
make you a lawn you will be proud of. Sow at the rate of 
one pound to 500 sq. ft. 
This mixture contains by weight: 40% Merion Blue Grass; 
50% Creeping Red Fescue; 10% Colonial Bent grass.

VELVET LAWN GRASS SEED 
Here is a well balanced, reasonably priced, quick growing 
lawn seed mixture. It is a blend of grasses that will give you 
a good lawn in a remarkably short time. This: is about the 
way we have put it together. You will notice please that it is 
made up of 85% permanent grasses. Here is the formula. 
23% Kentucky Bluegrass, dark green, narrow leaves, slightly 
creeping and very hardy. 41% Creeping Red Fescue fine 
leaved, keeps its rich green color the year around; does well 
in all types of soil, spreads rapidly. 21% Poa Trivialis, some- 
times called Shade Bluegrass, narrow, flat, green foliage; does 
well in heavy soils. 15% Domestic Ryegrass, an excellent 
nurse grass that comes up quickly and shelters the permanent 
grasses until they become established. Sow this mixture at the 
rate of one pound for every 250 sq. ft. of new lawn. Half that 
amount when reseeding. Y2 Ib. 75c; Ib. $1.45; 3 Ibs. $4.25; 
5 lbs.. $6.95; 10 Ibs. $13.75; 25 Ibs. $33.75; 50 Ibs. $66.25. 
MERION BLUEGRASS 
Developed by the Greens Section of the U. S. Golf Assn. 
Continues to grow and stays green during the hot dry weather 
of midsummer. If you will fertilize generously and water regu- 
larly it will resist the growth of Crabgrass. Resistant to leaf- 
spot disease that thins out lawn turf and lets weeds come in. 
Grows quickly, spreads rapidly, forms a thick, compact, deep 
green sod that wears well. 
Requires less mowing than other grasses to keep the lawn 
looking well cared for. Some authorities say only one-half the 
mowing is necessary. A little seed goes a long ways. Use one 
pound per 500 sq. ft. to build a new lawn. Half that amount 
when _ reseeding. 
According to a bulletin of the New York State Turf Asso- 
ciation, you should do these things if you wish to establish a 
Merion Bluegrass turf. 
Apply appropriate chemicals to discourage weed growth. 
Mow as closely as possible. 
Aerify if possible, fertilize and rake thoroughly. 
Seed. 
Keep watered until seed germinates and then only as 
seed dries out. Use a spray mist, never a coarse spray.
