A lawn may be made in two ways, by sodding or by sowing seed. Sodding 

 is not only very expensive 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 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 food, but if several 

 varieties are sown, the same area will support 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 given 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 — piu'e, clean and free from foul seeds. 



Bolgiano's Bone Lawn Fertilizer 



The very best fertilizer to use on lawns. It contains a large percentage 

 of raw bone and when used on the lawn in early Spring will give a beautiful 

 green lawn all during the entire Summer and Fall. Stable or chicken house 

 manure should never be used as a top dressing on lawns, as it always contains 

 large quantities of weeds. We have therefore had prepared for us this special 

 lawn fertilizer, which is clean of all weed seeds, free from disagreeable odors 

 and is acknowledged by all that have used Bolgiano's Bone Lawn Fertilizer 

 as being the very best for the lawns. It should be sown broadcast early in 

 the Spring or late Fall, 25 pounds to 300 square feet or 2,000 pounds to the 

 acre. When using less than above described, two dressings should be given 

 each year. Many of the best lawn makers prefer using the one dressing in 

 early Spring. Pkt. lOo. 5 Lbs. 45c. 10 Lbs. 75c. 25 Lbs. SI. 50. 50 Lbs.

Our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass is very quick in growth, 

 and 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 Midsununer, 

 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 HiU Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass is sown. 



Not only is our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass suitable for 

 making of new lawns, but it will be found equally valuable for quickly renew- 

 ing imperfect, old and worn-out areas. Always see that the soil is thoroughly 

 prepared, carefully pulverized and enriched with Sheep Manure, Bone Fer- 

 tilizer or Bolgiano's Hydrated Lime before sowing the seed. One pound will sow 

 20x20 feet, 10 pounds will sow 50x150 feet, 60 pounds will sow an acre. 30 

 pounds measures one bushel. J^ Lb. 15c. )^ Lb. 25c. Lb. 35c. 5 Lbs. SI. 50.

Bolgiano's Hydrated Lime 



After carefully testing all the different limes we find the Hydrated has 

 given the very best results. It cures the acidity of the soil and produces 

 strong, healthy, green sods. It is a sanitary and helpful fertilizer. Some of 

 the finest lawns and grass plots have been produced by the judicious use 

 of Hydrated Lime. If the ground is showing signs of a green cast or moss, 

 use Hydrated lime at once to save your lawn from the acidity or sour effect 

 that will accumulate. It is a well known fact that 100 per. cent of the lawns 

 need Hydrated Lime. More than 50 per cent of grass seed sown is wasted on 

 account of the sour condition of the soil. A generous application of Hydrated 

 Lime being used two weeks before seeding time will prove very beneficial. 

 It can be applied in early Spring or late Fall with the very best results. We 

 advise when making new lawns, especially where top soil is being used, to apply 

 very freely Hydrated Lime before seeding. Sow broadcast 25 pounds to 300 

 square feet or 2,000 pounds to the acre. Price per 50 Lbs. 7oc. 500 Lbs. S4.75
