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 i3 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 .\utumn. 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.

 Gras,s Seed is scientifically combined. Our experience of many years
