Fall is the Best Time to Make a Lawn 



Autumn sov/ing of grass has many advantages; the soil is then warm and the usual rain hastens the germina- 

 tion, thereby insuring a strong growth before winter sets in. Immediately after the first thaw the j^oung grass starts into 

 growth again and a good lawn is formed before it is possible to work the ground for spring seeding. It has the further 

 advantage of being able to endure early summer drought much better than grass sown in spring. 



We recommend the following quantities when seed of first-class quality is used: 1 lb. to 300 square feet; 20 lbs. to 6.000 

 square feet; 100 lbs. per acre. 



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

 without disturbing the present growth of grass. 



Special Evergreen Lawn Grass Mixture 



Forms a Rich Velvety Lawn in Less Than a Month from Time of Sowing. 



Composed of Only Compact Growing: Grasses Which Remain Green Throughout the Entire Season 



A splendid mixtur^^ of dwarf, compact growing graas, all of which have been thoroughly tested and free from impur- 

 ities, and put in the proper portions for forming a thick, velvet turf. Only the heaviest and best grass seeds are used, 

 all chaff and light non-jproductive material being carefully removed. The greatest care is taken in the selection of the 

 seed for purity, so that only grasses of uniformly dwarf, compact growth, making an even surface of rich green is pro- 

 duced. 



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

 less than a month after sowing the seed. 



While the price of this mixture may seem high, it is in reality the cheapest, being composed of the purest and 

 heaviest seed, free from light material and chaff.

Lawn Grass Mixture for Shady Places 



To maintain a nice growth of grass under trees an 1 in places where the sunlight only reaches part of the day was 

 long considered almost hopeless. This can now be overcome in a great measure by our mixture, which is composed of 

 dwarf, compact growing grasses that naturally grow in partial shade and will maintain a close, thick turf throughout the 

 entire season. It frequently happens that the ground under trees becomes impoverished by the roots of the trees, making 

 it almost impossible for grass to thrive unless a liberal top dressing of fertilizer is supplied, or when the ground has soured 

 and covered with moss an application of ground lime will be found beneficial before sowing the seed.
