A smooth velvety lawn surroundingr a house adds 

 not only to the value, but enhances the enjoyment 

 of every home, -whether it be in city, town or 

 country. When properly made, n lawn is the best 

 investment a home owner can make. The follow- 

 ing suggestions may be of benefit, especially to 

 th'ise who are about to make anew lawn. 



A Inwn maj' be made in two'ways. by sodding or 

 by sowing seed. Sodding is not only very expen- 

 sive but unsatisfactory as well. Sods are ordinarily 

 taken from the pasture or along the roadside and 

 almost invariablv contain weed seeds and coaise 

 tufty grasses which make their apptarance after 

 the lawn is made. Seeding is not only cbeaper* 

 but is attended -vv^ith belter results. 



The most important thing to consider in selecting 

 seed for law-n grass, is to obtain a proper mixture 

 of several varieties, for two rea.=ons. First, each 

 variety is at its best during a certain part of the 

 season. By properly choosing early, n-edium and 

 l.ite grasses, a smooth, even, green lawn is assured 

 from early spring to late autumn. Second, a given 

 area can support only so many grass plants of one kind for they all absorb the same food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will sup- 

 port many more plants, as different sorts live on various elements in the soil. This will give a much thicker and more luxuriant turf all over the lawn. 

 With these facts in mind our Druid Hill park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined. Our experience of many years has givt n 

 us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and requirements. In ;our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed are included only the 

 very best varieties — pure, clean, and free from foul seed. 



Our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass is very quick in growth, is ready for mowing in from four to six weeks from time the seed is sown. 

 From early spring until late in the fall, l.iwns sown with our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass remain green and fresh, for the reason, 

 that this mixture includes quick growing varieties which are at their best soon after the frost is ont of the ground, others that mature and flourish 

 in midsummer, and still others that are greenest and sturdiest in autumn. For each of these seasons there are sever.il dilTerent varieties living on 

 different elements in the soil, so that one is certain always to have a satisfactory carpet of green wherever our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn 

 Grass is sown.

 renewinif imperfect, old and worn-out areas. Alw.iys see that the soil is thoroughly prepared, carefully pulverized and enriched with Sheep Jlanure
