Analyzed as to Parity.

Tested as to Germination 



A lawn may be made in two ways, by sodding or by sowing 

 seed. Sodding is not only very expensive, but unsatisfactory as 

 well. Sods are ordinarily taken from the pasture or along the 

 roadside and almost invariably contain weed seeds and coarse, 

 tufty grasses, v?hich make their appearance after the lawn is 

 made. Seeding is not only cheaper, bnt is attended with better 

 results. The most important thing to consider in selecting seed 

 for lawn grass is to obtain a proper mixture of several varieties 

 for two reasons : First, each variety is at its best during a cer- 

 tain part of the season. By properly choosing early, medium and 

 late grasses, a smooth, even, green lawn is assured from early 

 Spring to late Autumn. Second, a given area can support only 

 so many grass plants of one kind, for they all absorb the same 

 food, but if several varieties are sown, the same area will support 

 many more plants, as different sorts live on various elements in 

 the soil. This will give a much thicker and more luxuriant turf 

 all over the lawn. 



With these facts in mind, our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green 

 Lawn Grass Seed is scientifically combined. Our experience of 

 many years has given us an intimate knowledge of grasses, their 

 habits and reauirements. In our Druid Hill Park Velvet Green 

 Lawn Grass Seed are Included only the very best varieties — ^pure, 

 clean and free from foul seeds.
