FOR SUNNY SPOTS 
Exposed areas in bright sun tend to 
“burn out.” There is no one kind of seed 
that will take care of all situations the 
year round. But there is a best seed or 
blend for your sunny lawn and we know 
them. Let us help you plan and grow 
your lawn. 
OR SHADY LOTS 
Ordinarily, establishing a good lawn in 
a shady area is a difficult situation. Ab- 
sence of sufficient sunlight causes many 
types of lawn seed to quickly die out or 
even fail to germinate. Wherever this 
problem exists you need our Special 
Shade Mixture. These are excellent 
shade enduring grasses and clovers that 
have given good results on many shaded 
lawns here. 
. . . OR SPECIAL NEEDS 
Parks, playground, and golf courses need 
their own types of grass . . . all different 
We have the right seed for all special 
uses. Just bring your problem to us... 
we'll furnish the seed you need and the 
know-how it takes to make it grow. 
How Much Seed? 
Skimpy seeding is costly in the long 
run. Plant enough to get a thick, 
heavy mat of grass and you'll need 
far less reseeding. The wise mini- 
mum for new lawn planting may be 
figured from this table:

For re-seeding, use at least half the 
amount. 
The least expensive item in any lawn is the seed. Time. labor, fertilizer and care 
can all be wasted if the right seed is not used, Why waste time on doubtful un- 
adapted seed from unknown sources which may contain grasses unsuited to this 
territory when the best is right here in our store? 
In addition to the best in grass seed your lawn will need intelligent care in applying 
the right fertilizer at the proper time, in using the best weed controls to keep out 
undesirable growth, and in getting the best tools for cutting, raking, edging, watering 
and all other operations in maintaining your lawn. Our store is headquarters for all 
of the tools and supplies needed to make and maintain your lawn. 
ASTORIA BENT 
Produces numerous root stocks which 
spread underground and throw up new 
shoots, making a very thick turf. This 
Bent has a good color and is excellent 
for lawns and putting greens. Does not 
require as much cutting as Creeping 
Bent. 
SEASIDE BENT 
A true creeping Bent. The plant is 
dwarf, and multiplies rapidly by send- 
ing out runners in all directions. With 
proper watering and care, it makes a 
strong, enduring turf. If damaged it 
heals over promptly. 
CHEWING FESCUE 
A superb grass to grow in rather shaded 
areas and even on fairly acid soil and 
under other unfavorable conditions. 
Plants grow low, make a dense turf. 
Often used for putting greens and fair- 
ways. 
RED TOP 
Particularly suitable for wet, low spots, 
as it stands wet weather or even over- 
flowing, better than other grasses. Also 
does well on almost any good, rich soil. 
Often thrives where Blue Grass fails— 
and therefore makes an excellent sup- 
plement for it.

bination of the finest quality seeds—

lawn green while better, slow-growing 
varieties are becoming established. Suc- 
ceeds well on almost any soil.

A auick growing grass, most suitable 
for mixtures. Succeeds on almost any 
soil not water sogged.
