Evergreen Lawn Grass. 



40 lbs. to the acre; 1 lb. to 250jsquare feet. 



Nothing adds more to 

 the attractiveness of a su- 

 burban home than a beau- 

 tiful lawn. 



The essentials for a fine 

 lawn are: 



First. A rich, well 

 drained soil. 



Second. Ground care- 

 fully worked. 



Third. A wise selection 

 of seeds. 



Fourth. Sowing atsuch 

 a time as to give the 

 young plants a chance to 

 become well established 

 before being subjected to 

 very dry or very cold 

 weather. 



Too much care cannot 

 be bestowed upon the 

 selection of grasses, as 

 some varieties are the 

 most luxuriant in spring, 

 others in summer, others 

 again in the autumn, 

 and a combination of the 

 proper sorts is required 

 for a perfect carpet-like 

 lawn. 



We have given much 

 thought and made many 

 experiments to secure the 

 best selection, and think 

 our Evergreen mixture 

 the best possible for per- 

 manent lawns. It may 

 be planted early in the 

 spring or fall. I.b.. 20c: 

 25 lbs.. $4.50.
