DRUMCLIFF LAWN GRASS SEED 
CHOOSE FROM THESE THREE SELECTED MIXTURES 
REGULAR MIXTURE—Contains the best of the perennial types 
including Illahee Creeping Fescue plus some quick-sprouting 
grasses for immediate cover. This blend thrives in full sun or par- 
tial shade; different types properly blended to give an extended 
season of excellent color and fine texture. 
SHADY MIXTURE—This blend is based on varieties that are 
adapted to heavy shade. Use it in areas where shade is dense, 
particularly between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Blends 
well in texture and color with the regular mixture to prevent con- 
trast where both are used in same lawn. 
POALTA MIXTURE—Deep-rooting Alta Fescue is included in this 
blend. Once established it will stand heavy traffic in places where 
children play; around your outdoor barbecue, etc. Useful in lawns 
not reached by garden hose for regular sprinkling—back yards— 
side lots—any place where the ''velvet'' texture of deluxe turf is 
not so important as resistance to drought and traffic. Many of 
our customers use this lower-priced mixture exclusively because of 
its pleasing color and other desirable characteristics. 
HOW MUCH SEED TO USE 
You should use not less than four (4) pounds of seed per 1,000 
sq. ft. to make a new lawn or to re-seed areas that are entirely 
bare. Use not less than two (2) pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. to re- 
seed old turf for greater strength and beauty. Almost every lawn 
needs occasional over-seeding to repair damage and maintain 
thick, heavy turf as a protection against invasion of weeds and 
crabgrass.
