THE DAYS OF USING SOD 



will soon be over, when people know how easily beautiful lawns are made ready for cutting in from 5 to 

 & weeks by sowing Johnson's Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures. It is a well-ascertained fact that a thick and 

 more prolonged growth is produced by a mixture of many sorts of grasses than by only one or two. 

 For every different kind and condition of soil there are grasses that are especially suitable. Some 

 mature early, others late ; so that from the beginning of spring until winter sets in, there is no time 

 when one species or another is not at its best. For this reason, the judicious selection of grass seed, 

 for the creation of a beautiful lawn or grass plot, or a durable pasture or hay crop, requires a knowledge 

 obtained only by an intimate study of the habits of varieties as respects quality of herbage and vigor of 

 constitution. It is not sufficient to select the one grass indigenous to the soil or climate, for it may not 

 possess the many qualities requisite for the purpose desired, for hardiness and permanence, which com- 

 bination of qualities and character is best found in a mixture of sorts. 



A quart of Lawn Grass will sow about 300 square feet. Three to four bushels will sow an 

 acre* Instructions how to prepare and sow a lawn accompany each package or bag of seed.
