MERION 
BLUEGRASS 
The news about this wonderful grass is spreading over the country, as 
Merion lawns prove outstanding in each neighborhood. 
Merion's superiority is based on its extra vigor, derived from the excep- 
tionally deep root system and underground spreading habit. It makes a 
tight well-knit sod that stands cutting as close as 2 in. (1 in. is recommend- 
ed). By shading the ground with its thick growth, it prevents crabgrass 
and weeds from getting started. It tolerates drouth and leaf spot disease, 
and retains its beautiful deep green color all through the summer. 
Merion likes a sunny situation, fertile soil and regular care. It is slow to 
come up (and hence difficult to establish on an existing lawn) but it makes 
a handsome, cushiony, permanent lawn you will be proud to own for many, 
many years. Sow only 12 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. 
Yo Lb. $1.95; Lb. $3.75; 2 Lbs. $7.40; 5 Lbs. $18.25; 10 Lbs. $36.00; 
25 Lbs. or more at $3.50 per Ib. prepaid. 
Our Merion Bluegrass Seed carries

MERION BLEND 
Excellent to grow alone, Merion also blends very well with other permanent 
lawn grasses, the bents and fescues. Together they give an even finer tex- 
ture and produce a thick velvety turf that is delightful to look at and to 
walk upon. In this blend we include an unusually high percentage of 
Merion, as follows: 
55% Merion Bluegrass 25% Illahee Fescue 20% Highland Bent 
This mixture is easier to establish than Merion alone and is highly 
recommended for many lawn situations. Use it for sandy or slightly acid 
soils, partial shade, slopes or where the soil varies over the areas to be 
seeded. It is a superior, highly dependable formula. Sow 12 lbs. per 
1000 sq. ft. 
Yo Lb. $1.35; Lb. $2.55; 2 Lbs. $5.00; 5 Lbs. $12.25; 10 Lbs. $24.00;

HARRIS’ FAMOUS LAWN MIXTURES 
HARRIS’ SUPERFINE 
Excellent General Purpose Mixture 
For average conditions in starting a new lawn or reseeding an old one, 
this proven formula is the one to grow. It contains 95% permanent grasses 
as follows: 
60% Kentucky Bluegrass 10% Highland Bent 
25% Illahee Fescue 5% Red Top 
Together they produce a lawn of lasting beauty and durability. Kentucky 
Bluegrass provides the sound basic turf, and the fine-bladed Illahee 
Fescue is a rugged, creeping grass that stands tough conditions such as 
dry soil and heavy wear, and keeps the sod fine and tight. Highland Bent 
gives a finer-textured look and thrives when the lawn is well fertilized, 
heavily watered and mowed close. Sow 2 to 2% Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. 
Note: Since the True Kent Wild White Clover is not available this year, 
we are not including any clover in this mixture. 
Yo Lb. 90c; Lb. $1.60; 2 Lbs. $3.15; 5 Lbs. $7.75; 10 Lbs. $15.00; 
25 Lbs. or more at $1.45 per Ib. prepaid. 
SHADY LAWN and SPECIAL PURPOSE MIXTURE 
Very Useful for Difficult Situations 
A fine, inexpensive grass that provides a quick-growing, wear-resistant 
cover, and succeeds under difficult conditions. Use it not only for shade but 
on poorer soils, slopes, play areas, etc. It contains: 
30% Illahee Fescue 15% Kentucky Bluegrass 
25% Chewings Fescue 30% Poa Trivialis 
The two fescues are fine-leaved but tough grasses, successful on dry soil 
whether in sun or shade and they withstand heavy traffic. Poa Trivialis 
is excellent for shade where the soil is moist, and the Kentucky Bluegrass 
gives added beauty wherever adapted. For best results, fertilize well two 
or three times a year. Sow 3 to 4 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. 
Ye Lb. 75c; Lb. $1.35; 2 Lbs. $2.65; 5 Lbs. $6.25; 10 Lbs. $12.00;
