  A 
  smooth 
  velvety 
  lawn 
  surrounding 
  a 
  

   house 
  adds 
  not 
  only 
  to 
  the 
  value, 
  but 
  en- 
  

   hances 
  the 
  enjoyment 
  of 
  every 
  home, 
  wheth- 
  

   er 
  it 
  be 
  in 
  city, 
  town 
  or 
  country. 
  "When 
  

   properly 
  made, 
  a 
  lawn 
  is 
  the 
  best 
  investment 
  

   a 
  home 
  owner 
  can 
  make. 
  The 
  following 
  sug- 
  

   gestions 
  may 
  be 
  of 
  benefit 
  especially 
  to 
  those 
  

   who 
  are 
  about 
  to 
  make 
  a 
  new 
  lawn. 
  

  

  A 
  lawn 
  may 
  be 
  made 
  in 
  two 
  ways, 
  by 
  sod- 
  

   ding 
  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 
  apearance 
  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 
  tor 
  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 
  as- 
  

   sured 
  from 
  early 
  spring 
  to 
  late 
  autumn. 
  

   Second, 
  a 
  given 
  area 
  can 
  suport 
  only 
  so 
  many 
  

   varieties 
  are 
  sown, 
  the 
  same 
  area 
  will 
  support 
  many 
  

  

  much 
  thicker 
  and 
  more 
  luxuriant 
  turf 
  all 
  

  

  grass 
  plants 
  of 
  one 
  kind 
  for 
  they 
  all 
  absorb 
  the 
  same 
  food, 
  but 
  if 
  several 
  

  

  more 
  plants, 
  as 
  different 
  sorts 
  live 
  on 
  various 
  elements 
  in 
  the 
  soil. 
  This 
  will 
  sive 
  

  

  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 
  mtimate 
  knowledge 
  of 
  grasses, 
  their 
  habits 
  and 
  requirements. 
  In 
  our 
  Druid 
  Hill 
  Park 
  Velvet 
  Green 
  Lawn 
  

   Grass 
  Seed 
  are 
  mcluded 
  only 
  the 
  very 
  best 
  varieties 
  — 
  pure, 
  clean 
  and 
  free 
  from 
  foul 
  seeds. 
  

  

  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, 
  lawn 
  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 
  and 
  sturdiest 
  in 
  autumn. 
  For 
  each 
  of 
  

   these 
  seasons 
  there 
  are 
  several 
  different 
  varities 
  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

  Grass 
  is 
  sown.
