A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 



Is the 'Result of Solving Under Troper 

 Conditions Our "Ebergreen Lalvn Seed 



GOOD soil and proper drainage are absolutely necessary to produce a good lawn. There should be no less than one foot of good surface 

 soil, heavy loam where possible. In light or sandy soil the grass has a tendency to bum out in hot, dry weather. Where it is 

 necessary to grade the surface the subsoil should be removed and replaced with good earth. 

 I * Unless the soil is sufficiently rich apply a liberal quantity of well-rotted manure; dig or plow this in and incorporate with the 

 soil. Rake or harrow the surface even, and after sowing the seed rake again lightly and firm the soil with a lawn-roller. Never attempt to 

 dig, rake or roll a lawn when the ground is wet. 



The best time to make a lawn is as early in spring as the ground is In good tillable condition, although very satisfactory results are 

 obtained from lawns made during the summer and autumn. 



When the young grass is from 3 to 4 inches high it should be mown, but not too short, as close cropping is injurious to a new lawn. 

 Repeat the mowing at intervals of about ten days. After the lawn is once well established frequent rollings are beneficial, especially 

 early in spring, after the soil and with it the roots of the grass have been drawn up by the winter's frost. 



On banks and terraces, where the seed is liable to be washed off by rains before it has sprouted, a quick catch can be secured by 

 mixing the seed with moist earth about one week before sowing ; at the expiration of that time much of the seed is ready to sprout. 



BILCKLRT'S EVERQRLLN LAWN 



Good seed is as necessary to make a lawn as the proper prepara- 

 tion of the ground. We have made many experiments to determine 

 the grasses best adapted for lawn purposes, and the above mixture 

 is composed of a combination in proper, proportions, of the best 

 natural lawn grasses, so as to produce a continuous good lawn 

 from early spring throughout the summer until late in fall. 



The ingredients of this mixture are the highest grade of recleaned 

 seeds only. The value of lawn grass seed can be best determined 

 by its weight per measured bushel, the better the quality the heavier 

 the weight. This Lawn Seed is sold by the standard bushel of 32 

 quarts (dry measure) and weighs no less than 22 pounds per bushel. 



Lawn Seeds are generally sold on a basis of 14 pounds to the 

 bushel, which will invariably fall one-third or more short of actual 

 measure if composed of choice clean seeds, and where a bushel of 14 

 pounds holds out in measure, it must of necessity be largely com- 

 posed of light, chaffy matter of no value. 



Use 1 qt to .300 sq. ft., 4 to 5 bus. per acre. Qt. 20 cts., by mail 

 30 cts.; 2 qts. 35 cts., 3 qts. 50 cts.. 4 qts. 60 cts., pk. $1.15, bus. 

 $2.25, per measured bushel of 22 pounds, $4.50. 



PUTTING QREE^N MIXTURE 



The very finest hardy low-growing grasses are contained in this 

 mixture, proaucing a close and lasting green turf. Qt. 25 cts., pk.

 15 lbs. $2.50. 



SHADY NOOK LAWN MIXTURE 



A mixture of grasses best adapted for sowing in shady places, 

 where other grasses will not thrive. In nearly all lawns where 

 there are trees there will be found bare, unsightly spots which can 

 be made green and bright by using this mixture. Per measured bus. 

 of 20 lbs., $6, % bus. $3. pk. $1.75, qt. 25 cts., by mail 35 cts. 



LAWN FERTILIZERS 



Stable manure should never be used as a top-dressing on a lawn, 

 as it always contains large quantities of noxious weed seeds, and is 

 objectionable on acgount of unsightliness and disagreeable odor. 



ODORLESS LAWN FERTIL!ZER. A clean, high-grade ferti- 

 lizer, free from disagreeable odor, especially prepared for us. Pro- 

 duces a rapid and rich green growth of grass. Should be sown 

 broadcast, and applied in spring or fall. Quantity required, 10 lbs. 

 for 30n sq. ft. 50n, to 1,500 lbs. per acre. 5 lbs. 25 cts., 10 lbs. 45 

 cts., 25 lbs. 80 cts., 50 lbs. $1.45, 100 lbs. $2.55, 200 lbs. $4.90, 500 

 lbs. $11.75, 1,000 lbs. $22.50, per ton $43.

 as a fertilizer for lawns. Not alone acting as a stimulant, but sup- 

 plies natural plant-food, permanently enriching the soil. Cheap, 

 clean from weed seeds, and no offensive odor. Apply in the fall or 

 early in spring, so that the rain may leach the ashes and carry the 

 elements down to the roots of the grasses, producing a rapid and rich 

 green growth. Apply 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. per acre. Per barrel of 200 

 lbs. $2.50, per 400 lbs. $4.75, per 1,000 lbs. $11, per ton $20; no smaller
