HISTORY BEHIND A QUALITY GRASS SEED MIXTURE 
Grass seeds are usually purchased under brand names, the basis of all good grass seed mixtures must be 
the same. The important feature of a good mixture is that it must contain heavy well developed seeds from 
selected grass stocks that have been grown and cured for the distinct purpose of seed production. 
Purity of the seed, free from weed seeds, germination and weight per bushel are the important factors to 
consider. 
Avoid mixtures that contain annual weed seed, Timothy and domestic Rye grass.

spring helps maintain the sod.
