The Secret 



of a fine lawn or pasture lies 

 not alone in the seed nor the 

 soil, but in the combination 

 of the two. Your seed must 

 be mixed according to the 

 soil on which you sow it. 



Sit down and write us a de- 

 scription of the soil you wish 

 to seed and we will give you 

 a special mixture suitable for 

 it. This way you are certain 

 of a fine lawn or pasture. 



We are not a new firm, 

 having been in the seed bus- 

 iness for 50 years, specializing 

 in lawn seed. Send for catalog.

Save Your Fence-Posts 

 for 3c Each 



You can almost double the life of 

 your fence-posts with 3 c worth of 



Conserve* 

 Wood Preservative 



and save more than twenty times 

 that amount in new posts and labor. 

 The same is true of your planking, 

 your silos and sills. Conservo 

 sinks into the wood and tans it like 

 leather, making it rot proof and in- 

 sect proof. Send for circular giving 

 full information with testimony of 

 people who have used it.
