GRASS SEED PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE 
LL’S PIONEER BRAND LAWN GRASS SEED 
A note on the lawn grass situation 
Lawn grass seed prices are much higher this year due 
to an extremely short crep. of Kentucky Blue Grass, and 
relatively short crops of other lawn grasses. For those 
who want a nice lawn, but do not wish to pay the high 
prices for our regular mixtures, we recommend Creeping 
Red Feseue, and for the tougher, less cared-for-lawn, 
straight Fairway Crested Wheat Grass is fine.
