CAPITOL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED, 



Our mixture of Grass Seeds for Lawns, 

 Parks, Tennis and Cricket grounds is com- 

 posed of the finest varieties of grasses 

 each of which has its season of beauty, and 

 and the result of this blending, is the pro- |p 

 ducing of a sod that is not only always 

 evergreen and velvety in appearance , but 

 of the color and beauty of the emerald 



Seeding is preferable to sodding, be- 

 cause it is cheaper, and will soon cover 

 the earth with a lnxuriant growth oUhnfty 

 grass and if fertilized spring and tall will 

 fast indefinitely. 



Frequent mowing prevents natural 

 seeding which grasses annually supply m 

 abundance to restore and thicken sod. 

 Hence, when the grass is injured by tramp- 

 in <r or thinned by any other cause, the 

 best and most natural method to restore 

 its beauty is to sow seed plentituily. I se 

 two pounds of seed on a space 20x40.. or 

 800 square feet. 



To prepare the ground lor seeding 

 Lawn grass, it should be plowed deeply, 

 cross plowed, and the soil finely pulveriz- 

 ed and enriched. Use fertilizer and avoid 

 the danger of an importation of seeds, the growth of sorrel, weeds 



m The r seed should be covered very slightly and a roller run over the
