Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed 



Analyzed As To Purity— Tested As To Germination 



Absolutely The Best Lawn Seed Experience Can Suggest Or That Money Can Buy 

 Will Produce A Beautiful And Permanent Lawn In Four To Si.x Weeks 



A smooth velvety l.Tn-n surrounding- 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, a lawn is the best investment a home owner can make. The following- suggestions may be of benefit, 

 especially to those who are about to make a new lawn. 



A lawn may be made in two ways, by sodding or by sowincr seed. Sodding is not only very expensive, but unsatisfactory as well. Sods are 

 ordinarily taken from a pasture or along the roadside and ahncst invariably contain weed seeds and course tufty grasses which make their 

 appearance after the lawn is made. Seeding is not only cheaper, bat is attended with better results. 



The most 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 sort of food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will support many more plants, as different sorts live on various elements 

 inthesoil. This will gi\-e a much thicker and more luxuriant turf all over the lawn. 



With these facts in mind our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green I,awn 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 I^awu 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 4 to 6 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 rea.son, 

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

 in miiisummer, and still others that are greenest and sturdiest in autumn. For each of these seasons there are several different 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. 



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

Stable manure should never be used as a top 

 dressing on lawns, for it always contains l;irge 

 quantities of weeds. We have therefore had 

 prepared for us a special lawn fertilizer which 

 is clean and high grade in every respect, and 

 free from disagreeable odors. It produces a
