Paint Your Lawn Green! 



What charm there is in a rich, velvety lawn. 

 No matter hovi? pretentious a house may be, 

 if the grounds are bare, the yard full of weeds 

 and ill kept, it will not draw favorable atten- 

 tion. A beautiful lawn makes a house a home. 



There is no secret in making a beautiful 

 lawn. Good soil to start with, the proper grass 

 seed, care and CURRIE'S SPECIAL LAWN

New Lawns 



. A new lawn should be carefully planned, for 

 once it is established, it is difficult to change 

 without digging it up and starting all over. A 

 silt loam soil is the best. Light, sandy soils 

 should have heavier soils worked in. Very 

 heavy clay should have sand incorporated to 

 lighten it. Do not put a half inch of black 

 dirt over clay lumps dug from the basement 

 and expect to grow a rich, velvety turf. 



Lawns must be well drained. Grass cannot 

 grow with wet feet. It will not do as well if 

 there is too much shade from trees and shrub- 

 bery. Better group the trees and shrubs and 

 leave large open spaces for the sun to get to 

 the lawn. 



Use good grass seed and plenty of it. Ask 

 your Seedsman what varieties do best in your 

 locality. Most Seedsmen sell grass seed mix- 

 tures. They are good if the seed is strong and 

 the types of grasses adapted to your conditions 

 will soon predominate. 



You cannot do too much work in making a 

 new lawn. Work the soil until it is porous and 

 mellow. Roll it until it is level. Then apply 4 

 to 5 pounds per 100 square feet of CURRIE'S
