LAWN SEED MIXTURES 
MERION LAWN SEED MIXTURE 
For that velvety, thick, green lawn you so much desire, use Our 
Merion Lawn Seed Mixture, which is composed of all perennial 
grasses, correctly blended so as to produce a deep, fine turf that 
will remain green and healthy all season. This mixture contains 
five selected companion grasses that thrive splendidly together, 
namely: 45% Merion Blue Grass, 35% Illahee Fescue, 10% Colonial 
Highland Bent, with 5% Perennial Red Top and 5% Perennial Rye 
Grass. The last two mentioned grasses especially adapted as nurse 
grasses, because they make a quicker growth and help to protect 
the other grasses until they are well established. The permanent 
grasses in this mixture spreading from underground root runners 
will produce a deep thick sod, which is heat and drought resist- 
ant, remaining green all summer even during the hottest weather 
and will stand close mowing. It is also resistant to diseases and 
because of its dense growth will crowd out weeds including crab 
grass. 
Merion Lawn Seed Mixture is adapted to wide range of soils and 
will produce a beautiful vigorous lawn wherever other blue grasses 
grow. One pound of this mixture will seed 750 sq. feet.

Illahee Lawn Seed Mixture provides a heavy, deep rooted sod 
that survives on poor soils, and withstands hard usage or tramping. 
Because of the dense root growth and luxurious sod produced by 
this mixture, Crab Grass and other weeds find it almost impossible 
to become established as they are soon crowded out. Sow one pound 
to 200 square feet. 4471—Lb., $1.45; 2 lbs., $2.73; 5 Ibs., $6.40; 10 Ibs.,

MERION BLUE GRASS 
A new distinct variety or strain propagated from a single plant 
selection, discovered growing among Kentucky blue grass on a tee
