Gi Perfect Setting for a 
WAYSIDE GARDEN IS A 
WAYSIDE LAWN 
After years of experience and constant experi- 
mentation, WAYSIDE GARDENS is able to offer 
blends of lawn grasses that will thrive under all 
normal and most sub-normal conditions. WAYSIDE 
mixtures do not contain Clover, as the great ma- 
WAYSIDE SUNNY 
A blend of the finest available grasses 
to meet WAYSIDE GARDENS exacting 
specifications. Carefully selected strains 
of seeds for their resistance to weeds, 
crab grass and fungous disease, their 
tolerance to drought, and for rich color 
and finer texture. If fertilized twice a 
year, and clipped to not less than one and 
one-half inches, this superb blend will 
produce a beautiful, almost indestruct- 
ible turf. Sow at the rate of five pounds 
to 1000 square feet.

jority of lawn growers prefer the finer textured 
grasses. WAYSIDE mixtures do not contain Bent 
Grass since the addition of Bent Grasses adds to the 
maintenance problem and causes the mixture to 
be more susceptible to fungous diseases. 
WAYSIDE SHADY 
A similar blend in color and texture to 
WAYSIDE SUNNY. Blended of seed 
strains that will thrive in areas receiving 
little or no direct sunlight. Careful 
selection of the proper seed strains 
solves half of the shady lawn problem. 
This mixture will produce a superior 
lawn provided the shaded areas are reg- 
ularly fertilized and watered at least 
once a week during dry periods. Sow at 
the rate of five pounds per thousand 
square feet.

MERION BLUE GRASS 
Wherever Blue Grass grows, the new Merion Blue Grass is ac- 
claimed as the finest lawn grass yet discovered, producing a thick, 
fine, deep green turf, like the yielding cushion of a long pile car- 
pet, while resisting disease, crowding out weeds, and requiring 
less care than any other lawn grass. 
Beneath its beautiful surface lies the secret of its vigor, !ong 
roots and many rhizomes—the creeping stems which spread under- 
ground over a wide area and come up to form new top growth, 
developing the thickest stand of any comparable grass. 
Once established, Merion does not have to be reseeded an- 
nually to maintain its cover. Other superiorities recited with 
enthusiasm by those who have grown it are: 
Spreads faster than Kentucky Blue Grass, stands closer mow- 
ing, resists heat and drouth, crowds out crab grass, holds its dark 
green color in the hottest weather with less water than other 
grasses. 
Merion was not bred, but was discovered, growing on the 17th 
tee of the Merion Golf Club, Ardmore, Pa., by Supt. Joseph Valen- 
[121] 
tine. It was developed by the United States Golf Association Green 
Section, the U. S. Plant Industry Station at Beltsville, Md., and 
co-operating state experimental stations. It has been tested for 
years in 14 states, and has the recommendation of the foremost 
turf experts of the land. 
You can have a Merion lawn with little, if any, greater cost for 
seed, and with annual savings for years to come in reduced upkeep. 
We offer Merion seed either straight or in a formula mixture.
