Beautiful Lawns 



"This is a KALAKA LAWN," said 

 the owner, as he pointed to the wide 

 expanse of green, velvety grass which 

 like a beautiful rich carpet surrounded 

 his home. 



"What is KALAKA?" asked his 

 friend. 



"KALAKA? Well — it's easier to 

 show what it does than to tell what it is." 



"It grows." 



KflLflKfl 



FERTILIZED QR/I5S SEED 



is grass seed that becomes grass. It is 

 a certain amount of specially prepared 

 natural fertilizer blended with grass 

 seed of exceptional quality. Thus the 

 soil is fed and nurtured at the exact 

 time the seed is about to germinate. 

 The result is, every seed you sow, 

 grows." 



"KALAKA is really economical" 



"Before I got to using it, I spent a 

 good deal of money in sodding but I 

 don't need to do this now because 

 KALAKA is a certainty. 



"You plant it and it grows, uniform 

 and rich." 



Don't you want a KALAKA lawn 

 to beautify your home? You can get 

 one if you insist on KALAKA. Don't 

 take a substitute. 



Don't trade a certainty for a chance. 



KALAKA is scientific Grass Seed. 

 It grows thick and strong where ordin- 

 ary grass seed fails to make a turf. 



KALAKA retails in 5 pound boxes 

 at$i.oo East or £1.25 West of Omaha.

Finest Delphinium Seed 



Fourteen years' expert selection and "rogueing" of the best tall hybrid 

 Delphiniums grown from seed furnished by Perry, Kelway, Sutton, 

 Veitch, Burbank and two French growers. The choicest seedlings only 

 have been retained each year and seed saved only after the second season, 

 so that pollination by inferior types has been impossible. All weak grow- 

 ers have been eliminated. The result is a superb strain that is believed 

 to be superior (so say those who have seen them) to any named varieties 

 or seedlings of Tall Delphiniums grown in this country or Europe. 50 

 seeds for $1.00. No reduction in price for larger quantity.
