A Lawn may be established 

 either by "sodding^' or "seed- 

 ing." The latter is not only 

 much less expensi%-e. but 

 much more satisfactory, as 

 better grasses can be thus ob- 

 tained, and the quality and 

 variety of the Grasses have a 

 creat deal to do with the ap- 

 pearance and the permanen- 

 cy of the lawn.

Buckbee^s Velvet Green Lawn Grass Mixture 



This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been complied 

 with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to lawns and door yards, and only fine sorts are employed. Full provision is made 

 for a succession of growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from spring until autumn, and experience proves that 

 our Velvet Green Lawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Xothing better can be purchased on the American market, no matter v.iiat claims may 

 be advanced by other seedsmen. As to preparation of the soil we recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of S or 9 inches, and 

 a regular serai-annual application of top dressing after\vard. It is a good practice, to use our Rockford Brand of Lawn Fertilizer in the spring 

 on lawns; also to renovate the lawn everj- spring with a little fresh seed, using a quarter or a third the quantity employed in the original seeding.

 the envy of our neighbors.
