Dingee Special Lawn Grass Seed 



It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive ap- 

 pearance. Sow the seed carefully and evenly at the rate of one 

 quart to a space equal to 15x20 feet; two bushels will sow one 

 acre. After sowing cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. 



Seeding may he done at any time during the spring, sum- 

 mer or fall, but the best results are obtained by sowing dur- 

 ing April, May, September or October. Where fall sowing is 

 practical a top-dressing of manure is recommended to pro- 

 tect the roots of the young grass during the winter. In the 

 spring the gross matter should be removed, leaving the sur- 

 face clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil on the bare 

 spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal quantity 

 of seed, roll or rake again to cover the seed. 



Price, by mail, .50 cts. per pound; in bulk, by express, 

 45 cts. per pound, 20 pounds or more.
