HIGH GRADE LAWN GRASS 
WRITE FOR PRICES ON QUANTITIES. We supply grasses for golf courses and other large plant- 
ings. We will gladly quote you. ALL PRICES QUOTED ARE SUBJECT TO MARKET PRICES. 
We specialize in high-grade lawn grass seed. During the past few years, we have supplied lawn 
seed for some of the largest institutions in the Pacific Northwest. Whether it is a small lawn or a large 
one, we can supply the seed and we will be glad to quote you for quantities either on mixtures or 
separate grasses. Many of the lawn grass mixtures on the market contain rye grass seed. We consider 
rye grasses too coarse and too rapid of growth to be included in mixtures and therefore omit them in 
our mixtures. We figure one pound to 300 square feet of surface. Write for free bulletin on ‘Lawn 
Culture” by Ray W.Gill. 
In Western Oregon, Washington and California, September and October are ideal for sowing 
lawns, There is more moisture and annual weeds are killed by winter frosts, Be careful to plant early 
enough so that the roots will be established before hard frost might lift and break off the young roots.
