LAWN SEEDS 
Your lawn is a most important part of your garden and must be both 
usable and attractive. To have a good lawn you must plant good seed of the 
kind suited to your particular needs. We can supply the good seeds and will 
be glad to give you the benefit of our experience in choosing the correct kind. 
Astoria Bent. This strain of Bent differs 
from the Seaside variety in that it 
spreads moey underground, sending up 
many root stalks that produce a splendid 
turf. The growth is upright, of fine tex- 
ture and is a richer green than Seaside 
Bent. It is more practical for lawns and 
succeeds best in heavy soils. Excellent 
for golf course use. Sow 1 pound to 200 
square feet. 
Chewings Fescue. Used extensively on 
fairways and tees on golf courses, and 
does well on any kind of soil. It also pro- 
duces a stiff, upright plant. Sow 1 pound 
to 150 square feet. 
Creeping Red Fescue. Fine, round bladed 
grass, excellent for lawns. Slightly red- 
dish at base. Fine for shade. Hardy. Sow 
1 pound to 150 square feet. 
Highland Bent Grass (Agrostis tenuis). 
Highland Bent is a strong surface and 
underground creeper that makes a dense, 
uniform, fine turf and is adapted to a 
wide range of soil and climatic condi- 
tions. A low grower, it is usually consid- 
ered as requiring less irrigation and 
standing more abuse than other bents. 
The dark green color holds well through- 
out the year. Very good for lawns, parks, 
and playgrounds. 
Red Top. A fine-bladed grass that suc- 
ceeds on almost any soil, although it 
does best under moist conditions. It is 
used in almost all lawn mixtures. Should 
not be planted by itself unless specifically 
pce rninen ded Sow 1 pound to 200 square

Ammonium Sulphate is a valuable ferti- 
lizer for all plants in which large leaf 
development or rapid growth is desired. 
It is also used for top dressing lawns, 
producing a thick velvet growth and 
discouraging the weeds. It is a highly 
concentrated nitrogenous product, con- 
taining 25144 per cent ammonia, 20% per 
cent nitrogen. One pound to 200 square 
feet is sufficient application for lawns. 
Note. Not recommended for blue grass. 
Bone Meal. Fine for lawns, rose bushes, 
grape vines, especially where a moder- 
ately slow fertilizer is needed for the 
deep-rooted shrubbery and where a per- 
fectly safe fertilizer is required. It con- 
tains phosphoric acid and some nitrogen. 
Granulated Peat Moss. For greenhouse 
garden and home. Our peat moss is of 
the finest quality you can buy anywhere 
at any price. Its use contributes to the 
humus content of the soil, lightening 
heavy clay and binding sandy soils. It 
insulates soil against freezing and thaw- 
ing in winter and conserves moisture in 
summer. Clean, odorless, economical. 
Sheep Guano. An efficient fertilizer to 
use on lawns, in the garden, the peren- 
nial border, shrubbery beds, small fruit 
garden, flower beds, etc. It is safe and 
dependable. A natural plant food and not 
a chemical stimulant. 
Superphosphate (Acid or Rock Phos- 
phate) is a water soluble combination of 
phosphoric acid and lime which is formed 
by the action of sulphuric acid on raw 
phosphate rock. It aids in plant nutri- 
tion and assists the plant to assimilate 
other ingredients. Good for lettuce, truck 
crops, cereal crops, and alfalfa. 
Hydrated Lime. The constant watering 
of lawns tends to sour the soil and eventu- 
ally the lawn becomes foul with sorrel, 
Creeping Charlie, and other weeds which 
thrive in an acid soil. This condition may 
be improved by applying hydrated lime. 
NOTE: Before applying lime to your 
lawn, consult your county agent or your 
seedsman. 
Muriate of Potash. This fertilizer is espe- 
cially valuable for fruit trees and berries.
