THE DINGEE & CONARD CO/S LAWN GRASS SEED 



A Special Mixture of the 5est Natural Grasses for liaKing New Lawns and Renovating Old Ones 



This mixture of Lawn Grass Seed 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. 



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

 and pulverize thoroughly; be careful to 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), 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, Sum- 

 mer 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.
