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 cer- 
tain 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 cf grasses, their habits and requirements. 
In our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed are included only 
the very best varieties—pure, 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 con- 
tains large quantities of weeds. We have therefore had prepared for us this 
special lawn fertilizer, which is clean of all weed seeds, free from disagree- 
able 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 broad- 
cast 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. 10c. 5 Lbs. 45e. 10 Lbs. 7ic. 25

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 
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 satsifactory 
earpet 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 
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, — 
Bone Fertilizer or Bolgiano’s Hydrated Lime before sowing the seed. One — 
pound will sow 20 x 20 feet, 10 pounds will sow 50 x 150 feet, 60 pounds 
will sow an acre. 30 pounds measures one bushel. 14 Lb. 15c. % Lb. 25e.

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 broad- 
east 25 pounds to 300 square feet or 2,000 pounds to the acre. Price per =
