THE DINGEE &> CONARD CO.'S LAWN GRASS SEED 



A Special Mixture of the Best Natural Grasses for Making New Lawns and Renovating Old Ones 



This mixture of Lawn Grass oeed is the result of careful experiment and comparison, and we regard it as the best 

 combination for general sowing. It produces a smooth, even and velvety green sward that is particularly attractive and 

 pleasing. The seed we offer is as Jree from chaff as improved machinery can make it, and mill give the best of satisfaction. A 

 measured bushel will weigh about 27 lbs. 



In preparing the ground for seeding, break to the depth of 10 to 12 inches with plow or spade and pulverize thoroughly ; 

 be careful lo see that the surface grading admits of free upper drainage, so that the water will not collect in pools after 

 heavy rainfalls. Sow the seed carefully and evenly in quantities of about one quart to each 300 square feet ( 15 x 20 feet j , or 

 two bushels to the acre; then with a fine harrow or rake cover and give top dressing of animal manure, ground bone or some 

 other good commercial fertilizer. Seeding may be done at any time during the Spring, Summer or Fall months; but the 

 best results are obtained by sowing during April, May, September or October ; if the work is done during the Fall months, a 

 heavy top dressing of stable manure may be applied; in the Spring, the gross matter may be removed, leaving the surface 

 clean. If manure is used in preparing the soil, in the Spring it should be incorporated with the earth. To renovate lawns 

 where the grass has disappeared in places- with a steel rake scratch the surface thoroughly, and after sowing a liberal 

 quantity of seed rake the spot over well in order to cover. In cases where the surface earth has been removed or covered 

 by a clayey or sandy subsoil it will be necessary to restore at least a part of the original loam. The use of manures and 

 compost in liberal quantities will be of great assistance.
