The FALL is an ideal time for preparing your lawn and sowing 
grass seed. This is especially true in the case of shady lo- 
cations. By sowing the seed in the FALL you give the grass a 
chance to get started and weil rooted when the vitality of 
the surrounding trees is declining. All the grasses listed below 
may be sown anytime beginning Sept. Ist. 
LOSE’S SURE CROP LAWN GRASS—This grass is a carefully 
blended mixture of high grade Bluegrass, Red Top, Rye Grass, 
Red Creeping fescue and Dutch White Clover, designed to give 
you the best lawn, in the quickest time, and under most 
weather conditions. Ideal for making a quick, permanent, deep 
green and velvety lawn. 85c Ib., 5 Ibs. $4.15, 10 Ibs. $8.00, 
20 Ibs. $15.75. 
LOSE‘S SURE CROP SHADY LAWN—A carefully blended mix- 
ture of grasses especially adapted to growing in shady spots, 
under trees, or on the shady side of the house. Since trees take 
a lot of plant food out of the soil it is especially important 
that you work in at least 4 Ibs. of Vigoro, or 6 Ibs. of Sheep 
Manure per 100 sq. ft., and water frequently in the summer. 
Fall sowing of this seed enables the grass to get a good start 
while the trees are dormant. 85c Ib., 5 Ibs. $4.15, 10 Ibs. 
$8.00, 20 Ibs. $15.75. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS—King of Grasses—Unequalled for 
making a beautiful thick compact turf when conditions are 
favorable. Germination is slow, and if quick lawn is desired 
should be sown along with faster germinating grasses. Blue 
grass prefers soil of high fertility, so if your ground is poor 
be sure to use fertilizer or manure. 95c Ib., 5 Ibs., $4.65, 
10 Ibs. $9.00, 20 Ibs. $17.75. 
LOSE’S WINTER GRASS—This mixture of grasses is especially 
adapted to giving a quick, thick, deep green coverage for the 
winter. It is just as satisfactory for shady locations as open 
places. 45c Ib., 5 Ibs. $2.10, 20 Ibs. $8.00. 
RYE GRASS—Unexcelled for rapid growth and immediate ef- 
fect. Does not make a permanent lawn unless mixed with 
other grasses. Excellent to give a beautiful green effect all 
winter. 25c¢ Ib., 5 Ibs. $1.15, 10 ibs. $2.00, 20 Ibs. $3.90. 
PERENNIAL RYE GRASS—The somewhat darker green finer 
blade makes the perennial rye grass more desirable for lawns 
than the domestic rye grass. Very quick growing. 35c Ib., 
5 Ibs. $1.65, 10 Ibs. $3.00, 20 Ibs. $5.90. 
DUTCH WHITE CLOVER—A perennial clover used extensively 
for lawns in a mixture. $1.50 Ib. 
POA TRIVIALIS—Also known as Rough Stalk Meadow Grass or 
Blue Grass of the Shade, since it is particularly adapted to 
shady places. Does not withstand drought as well as Blue Grass, 
so its ideal location would be a moist shady spot. $1.25 Ib., 
5 Ibs. $6.00, 10 Ibs. $11.50. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE—Excellent for shade. Thrives on all 
types of soil, even dry sandy bottom soil. Makes an extremely 
tight sod of fine needle-like deep green leaves. It is not easily 
winter-killed and is ideai for use on lawns, golf courses, air- 
ports, cemeteries, and playgrounds. 85c Ib., 5 Ibs. $4.00, 
10 Ibs. $7.50, 20 Ibs. $20.00. 
MERION (B-27) BLUEGRASS 
Merion Bluegrass began as a single plant which developed from one of millions of bluegrass seeds which had been sown over the years 
at the Merion Golf Club at Ardmore, Pennsylvania. After years of testing, there is no longer any doubt that for lawn purposes, Merion 
is truly superior to any Bluegrass previously produced. 
It has been proven that, side by side, with common bluegrass, and under identical conditions, it will have less crabgrass. Merion 
builds a closer knitted cushion of tu-f under close mowing than regular bluegrass. With Merion Bluegrass there will be fewer weeds, 
fewer mowings needed, and less waterings. The rate of sowing Merion Bluegrass is | IbY per. 750 to 1,000''sq. ft. Therefore you will 
find that the cost per 1000 sq. ft. even at today’s high price per pound of Merion is about the same as for common bluegrass and 
the results are far superior and more permanent under cost condition. 
PRICE 35c per oz.; 2 Ib. $2.00; 1 tb. $3.50
