THE PERMANENT LAWN 



B 



RIEFLY, we offer advice which may help our readers to become the possessors 

 of a permanent lawn. 



The first important factor to consider in the construction of a new lawn is the 

 proper preparation of the underlying subsoil and the preparation and depth of 

 the top soil. Good deep soil means deep rooted grass which will stand the hot, 

 dry summer better than if it is shallow rooted.

Feeding Helps Seeding 



The kind of fertilizer used has a great deal 

 to do with making a lawn. Just because a 

 fertilizer may be ideal for certain crops, do 

 not take it for granted that it will produce 

 good grass. We recommend Towson Lawn 

 Food to be used at the time a new lawn is 

 constructed, and suggest at least two feedings 

 each year following. Lawns which do not 

 receive regular feeding soon die from star- 

 vation. 



"When you buy grass seed, do not hunt bar- 

 gains. Good seed can not be bought cheaply. 



If a permanent lawn is desired, the seed mix- 

 ture must necessarily contain a good portion 

 of perennial grasses. It is the writer's belief 

 that the blend should contain at least 50% of 

 Kentucky Blue. Inferior mixtures will germi- 

 nate just as quickly as high grade ones, and 

 for the first season will probably look just 

 as well, but after this, the better mixture 

 composed largely of tested perennial instead of 

 annual grasses will really prove the more 

 economical. 



Towson Lawn Seed has proven its worth 

 for many years. 



The velvety stretch of lawn in Towson Nurseries show grounds is a fine example of 

 the use of good lawn seed
