AUTUMN IS AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR SEEDING DOWN NEW LAWNS OR RENOVATING OLD ONES 



USE C. & J. VELVET GREEN LAWN GRASS SEED 



Unexcelled by any for producing a smooth, even, velvety-green sward that will withstand drought and hard usage, and 

 always make a handsome appearance. In seeding down a lawn or grass plot three things are necessary to insure suc- 

 cess : First, to prepare the ground so as to have a fine, smooth seed bed ; second, to put on plenty of seed ; never less, 

 but rather more, than the directions call for ; third, to start the lawn-mower as soon as growth is tall enough to catch 

 the machine, and keep it mowed off close till the grass has time to start and become well established. The seed should 

 be lightly raked in and finished with a roller. Apply any good commercial fertilizer as a top dressing when -needed. 

 One quart of seed is enough for three hundred square feet (fifteen by twenty feet), or at the rate of five bushels to the 

 acre. Keep the lawn neatly mowed, and you will have a clean, even growth of fresh, lively green. 



Price by mail, postpaid, 25c. per quart ; two quarts for 45c.; in bulk, purchaser paying express charges, $1.25 per- peck; 

 $4.00 per bushel of 20 lbs. ..;. : .-'
