A smooth velvety Inwn surrounding a house adds 

 not only to the value, but enhances the enjoyment 

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

 country. AVhen properly made, a lawn is the best 

 investment a home owner can make. The follow- 

 ing sug)restions may be of benefit, especially to 

 those who are about to make a new lawn. 



A lawn m.iy 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 invariably contain weed seeds and coarse 

 tufty grasses which make their appearance after 

 the lawn is made. Seeding is not only cheaper, 

 but is attended -u'itli better results. 



The mo'^t important thing to consider in selecting 

 seed for lawn grass, is to obtain a proper mixture 

 of several varieties, for two reasons. First, each 

 variety is at its best during a certain part of the 

 season. By properly choosing early, medium and 

 late 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 moreluxuriant turf all o%-er the la-mi. 

 With the.se facts in mind our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined. Our experience of many years has given 

 us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and requirements. In our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green l^wn 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, lawns 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 out of the ground, others that mature and flourish 

 in midsummer, and still others that are greenest a-' sturdiest in autumn. For each of these seasons there are several different varieties 

 liWng on different elements in the soil, so that one is ct ain always to have a satisfactory carpet of green wherever our Druid Hill Park Velvet 

 Green Lawn Grass is sown. 



Not only is our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass suitable for the making of new lawns, but it will be found equally valuable for 

 quickly renewing imperfect, old and worn-out areas. Always see that the soil is thoroughly prepared, carefully pulverized and enriched with 

 Sheep Manure or Bone Fertilizer before sowing the seed. One pound will sow 20 x 20 feet, 10 pounds will sow 50 x 150 feet. 60 pounds will sow
