Vigorous

don't grow by accident. They 

 are the result of care — in the 

 preparation of the soil and 

 the selection of the seed. You 

 can't plant or- — 

 dinary grass 

 seed and expect 

 a perfect turf. 

 The seed must 

 be a mixture of 

 grasses which 

 will give perma- 

 nent growth and 

 produce a thick, 

 close turf. If 

 to this carefully 

 tested mixture of high quality 

 seed is added plant food, 

 which goes into the ground 

 with the seed, ready to stimu- 

 late its growth, a lawn of ex- 

 ceptionally sturdy growth and 

 velvety texture is the result.

Fertilseed 



is the result of exhaustive tests with various natural 

 and cultivated grasses, the mixture which was found to 

 produce the finest and most vigorous lawn under all 

 conditions. It is treated to insure quick germination 

 and continued growth; and so certain are results that 

 The Kalaka Co., makes the following unqualified 

 guarantee: 



1500 Sq. Feet of Lawn 

 Guaranteed for $2 

 Every $2 package of Fertilseed 

 is absolutely and unqualifiedly 

 guaranteed to produce 1,500 

 square feet of luxuriant lawn, 

 Never before has lawn seed 

 been so guaranteed, because 

 with ordinary seed it would be 

 impossible to produce such a 

 lawn. Fertilseed is the perfect 

 blending of superior seed, highly 

 and richly fertilized. It cannot 

 fail to produce the results you 

 want. 

 If you have had difficulty in making grass grow 

 on your lawn, you should read "Vigorous and Velvety 

 Lawns" by Edwin A. Kanst, landscape gardenej. We 

 will send it to you without charge.
