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 in- 

 variably 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 require- 

 ments. In our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed are included 

 only the very best varieties — pure, clean and free from foul seeds.

 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 f rost 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 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

soil. 



EVR GREEN will renovate old lawns and cure the acidity of the 



Will produce strong, healthy green sod. It is a sanitary and healthful 

 fertilizer. Some of the finest lawns and grass plots have been produced 

 by the judicious use of EVR GREEN. 



If the ground is covered with moss and the grass seems sour and 

 unsightly, sprinkle EVR GREEN freely over the surface and watch the 

 satisfying results. For renewing old lawns it is unequaled. Rake the 

 lawn thoroughly with a sharp tooth rake, sow Druid Hill Park Velvet 

 Green Lawn Grass Seed, then sprinkle thoroughly with EVR GREEN 

 and you will soon produce a luxurious rich green growth. 



Use EVR GREEN on your grass early in the Spring and it will grow 

 a thick, velvety green turf without the annoyance of weeds, so common 

 when barnyard manure is used. 



To make a new lawn after all grading is done and every stone and 

 stick removed, cover with a generous coating of EVR GREEN (which 

 should be raked into the soil) then sow your seed and thoroughly rake the 

 seed in the ground. It is well to roll the seed bed to bring the soil into 

 close contact with the seed. Soak it thoroughly every four days, if there 

 is no rain. In about sixty or ninety days you will have a good turf that 

 will last for years. By weeding it faithfully the first year and using EVR 

 GREEN you will get rid of those troublesome weeds, which have been 

 in the soil or which have been carried by the wind. 



All soils have a greater or less amount of weeds, but by using EVR 

 GREEN for your fertilizer they can be entirely eradicated in a very short 

 time. 



It is a well known fact that 90% of the lawns need EVR GREEN. 

 It can be applied at any time with good results. More than 50% of 

 grass seed sown is wasted on account of the sour condition of the soil 

 and you wonder why the seed will not grow. A generous application of 

 EVR GREEN will put your soil in proper condition to germinate the seed 

 and produce a beautiful green, healthy lawn. 



EVR GREEN will be found one of the greatest helps in making a 

 first-class lawn, especially when the dirt used comes from the foundation 

 and cellars. 



EVR GREEN sprinkled freely over this ground produces fine lawns 

 when all other methods fail. 



EVR GREEN will not burn the seed. It is 99% pure, containing 

 96% lime, some phosphorus and other necessary foods for plant life. 



EVR GREEN properly applied each year will produce a luxuriant 

 growth. It is a perfect food foundation to plant life, and it is the finest 

 tonic for the soil that can be found anywhere. 



EVR GREEN is put up in 50 lb. sacks. Use 25 lbs. of EVR GREEN 

 to a hundred square feet of sod to get the best results.
