Results show that the best lawn grass mixtures, made up of top grade lawn grasses, are the best buy. They grow velvety 
lawns that, with a minimum of care, are permanent and add many times their cost to the value of any home. 
SENECA LAWN MIXTURE 
The Best All-Purpose Lawn Grass Mixture 
For establishing a fine thick permanent 
lawn under average soil conditions we highly 
recommend our Seneca Lawn Mixture which 
is especially prepared from the highest qual- 
ity grass seeds produced. It makes a smooth, 
green, velvety lawn with a thick bottom free 
from clumps. The mixture is composed of 
the following grasses (percentages are approxi- 
mate): 73% Kentucky Blue Grass, 15% IUlahee 
Creeping Fescue, 10% Red Top, 2% Kent 
Wild White Clover. 
Kentucky Blue Grass makes the thick basic 
turf; it responds to good fertility (likes a lime- 
stone soil or well-limed soil) and flourishes in 
spring and fall. Illahee Creeping Fescue is 
deep-rooted and thrives under adverse condi- 
tions including hot weather and poor, sandy 
soils. Wild White Clover blends well with 
the other grasses, stays green all summer and 
enriches the soil. 1% lb. 95¢; lb. $1.75; 5 Ibs. 
$8.25; 10 lbs. $16.00; 20 Ibs. $31.00; 50 Ibs.

SENECA SHADY LAWN 
MIXTURE 
Shady areas are a problem. Many times 
it is because of low fertility rather than shade 
that causes those bare spots in the lawn. 
Some trees are heavy feeders close to the sur- 
face. If there is adequate plant food in the 
soil our Shady Lawn Mixture makes a beauti- 
ful turf in the shady spots. Our mixture con- 
tains the following special grasses (percentages 
are approximate): 50% Illahee Fescue, 15% 
Kentucky Blue Grass, 20% Poa trivialis, 5% 
Colonial Bent, 10% Red Top. This com- 
bination provides grasses that will succeed in 
dry or moist locations, in fairly deep shade 
or moderately sunny spots. Y% lb. 75¢; Ib. 
$1.35; 5 Ibs. $6.35; 10 Ibs. $12.15; 20 Ibs. $23.25; 
50 Ibs. $55.65, prepaid.

KRILIUM 
SOIL CONDITIONER 
If your soil is that pesky clay-type 
which bakes hard as a brick in the 
sun or turns to soup in the rain, 
you need Krilium soil conditioner 
to turn it into loose, crumbly, 
porous soil that plants grow and 
thrive in. 
Krilium, properly applied, pro- 
duces good soil structure three to 
six inches deep. 
Krilium soil conditioner can be used in pre- 
paring soil for home gardens, in flower beds 
(whether existing or newly planted), around 
shrubbery, for building or rebuilding lawns. 
1 lb. can $1.39, 5 lb. can $4.95. Add 10¢ per 
Ib. for postage.

ECONOMY GRASS MIXTURE 
Annual Seeding 
There are often places so heavily shaded 
that permanent grasses cannot be established. 
There may also be ground around new houses 
for instance where permanent lawns are de- 
sired but cannot be established at present be- 
cause of the high cost of good lawn mixtures 
or because ground has not been permanently 
graded. For such conditions we suggest sow- 
ing this inexpensive mixture of quick grow- 
ing grasses (40% Timothy, 40% Annual Rye 
Grass, 10% Red Top, 10% Perennial Rye- 
grass) it will cover the ground and remain 
green until late summer. Very heavily shad- 
ed areas will have to be fertilized and reseed- 
ed each year. Lb. 60¢; 5 lbs. $2.75; 10 Ibs. 
$5.00; 20 Ibs. $9.00, prepaid.
