LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 



A PERMANENT EVERGREEN LAWN AND HOW TO MAKE IT. 



Our many years of practical experience in making- lawns is placed at the service of our customers in the mixtures of 

 grass seeds we offer. The first great care in the formation of a lawn is to see that the ground is thoroughly prepared, 

 by being well pulverized, after the soil has been well enriched and worked over. The seed should then be sown, using 

 a liberal quantity so as to insure a thick, even growth. A good lawn may be secured in a few weeks by giving it proper 

 care and the necessary quantity of seed. 



We recommend the following quantities when seed of first-class quality is used: 1 lb. to 400 square feet; 20 lbs. to 

 8,000 square feet; 100 lbs. per acre. 



For renovating an old worn-out lawn use about half the quantity of seed, working it into the ground as much as pos- 

 sible without disturbing the present growth of grass.

A splendid mixture of dwarf, compact growing grasses, all of which have been thoroughly tested and free from im- 

 purities, and put up in the proper proportions for forming a thick, velvety turf. Only the heaviest and best grass seeds 

 are used, all chaff and light non-productive material being carefully removed. The greatest care is taken in the selection 

 of the seeds for purity, so that only grasses of a uniformly dwarf, compact growth, making an even surface of rich green 

 is produced. 



During the early summer months we frequently produce a good compact sod from this mixture ready for cutting in 

 less than a month after sowing the seed.

 seed free from light material and chaff.
