Lawn Seed 
We offer a special mixture of extra good quality 
Lawn Seed that we do not hesitate to recommend very 
highly. We mix only the best grades of seed which 
insures a good stand of grass. You cannot afford to 
take chances with your lawn. The best policy is to 
sow clean seed. In addition our Lawn Seed is Gro- 
coated. Gro-coat protection means the use of fungi- 
cides which disinfect the area around the seed. There 
is a growth stimulator added which is designed to 
increase early root development. Home owners tell 
us they get faster growth, larger plants and many 
more of them, when they sow Gro-coated lawn gras¢ 
seed. We mix two grades of seed, one for ordinary 
seeding and ancther for shady spots. One pound of 
seed will sow approximately 250 square feet. 
“Heavy Sod” Mixture — Price, per Ib., $1.45; 5-lb. lots 
$1.30 per lb. By express, not prepaid, or at Nursery. 
“Shady Spot’? Grass Seed — Prices same as Heavy 
Sod Mixture. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities.
