Buist’s Lawn Grass Mixtures 
September and October are the Best Times to Plant a Lawn 
The fall season is the best time to sow Lawn Grass Seed. The soil is warm and friable, 
with plenty of moisture from dews and rains, which not only hastens germination but en- 
ables.the roots to become well established before freezing weather sets in. Competition 
from weeds is less, and root growth is well established before Spring. 
Our Lawn Mixtures are composed of the finest varieties of grasses, each of which has its 
season of beauty, and the result of this blending is the production of a sod that is always 
evergreen and velvety in appearance. 
QUANTITY TO USE—On new. lawns sow 1 Ib. of seed to 200 sq. ft., 5 Ibs. to 1000 sq. ft., 
150 Ibs. per acre. For renovating old lawns when turf is thin use half the quantity. 
One acre of land contains approximately 210 x 210 ft. or 43,500 sq. ft. |
