Book excerpt: Excerpt from Michell's Seeds, Bulbs, Plants, 1922: Fertilizers, Garden Tools, Poultry Supplies, Insect Destroyers Our grass seeds are rigidly tested for purity and germination at the growing point, in the laboratories of the United States Department of Agriculture and by ourselves, and will be found of highest average. We make special formulas to suit various soils, climatic and local conditions. Our grass mixtures as sold have been based on many tests and on years of careful study; they are properly blended and will give splendid satisfaction. Quantity to Sow for Lawns. From very exhaustive tests and experiments, we have found that in general too small a quantity has been recommended in the past; it requires sufficient seed to be sown if you want a quick permanent effect. On a small scale a quart will usually seed a space of 10 x 10 feet though twice that quantity is better; 6 to 8 or 10 bushels of 20 lbs. Per bushel on new ground without grass, is the proper quantity per acre; 1 peck is needed for a space of 1000 square feet; bushel for a space 2000 square feet; 1 bushel for a space 4000 square feet or say 40 x 100 feet. For Putting Greens we advise 100 lbs. Of seed for greens 100 x 100 feet. For Fairways, 8 to 10 bushels per acre. For Pasture and Hay Fields, 4 to 5 bushels per acre, based on a 20 pound bushel.
