Capitol Park Lawn Grass Seed 



IT NEVER FAILS TO GIVE SATISFACTION 



A lawu may be made 

 in two ways, by sod- 

 ding or by sowing seed. 

 Sodding is not only 

 "very expensive but un- 

 satisfactory as well. 

 Sods are ordinarily 

 taken from the pasture 

 or along the roadside 

 and almost invariably 

 contain weed seeds and 

 coarse tufty grasses 

 which make their ap- 

 pearance after the 

 lawn is made. Seeding 

 is not only cheaper but 

 is attended with better 

 results. The most im- 

 portant thing to con- 

 sider in selecting seed 

 for lawn grass is to 

 obtain a proper mix- 

 ture of several vane-' 

 ties. Each variety is 

 at its best during a 

 certain part of the sea- 

 son. By p r p e r 1 y 

 choosing early, medium 

 and late grasses, a 

 smooth, even, green 

 lawn is assured from 

 early spring to late 

 autumn. 



With these facts in 

 mind, our Capitol Park 

 Lawn Grass Seed is 

 scientifically combined. 

 Our experience of many 

 years has given us an 



intimate knowledge of grasses, their habits and require- 

 ments. In our Capitol Park Green Lawn Grass Seed are 

 included only the very best varieties — pure, clean and free 

 from foul seeds. 



This grass seed has helped make Washington the beau-

tiful city that it is. Planted in front of the new District 

 Building, our seed produced a lawn in twenty-eight days 

 from day of planting the seed.

Shady Nook Lawn Grass 



THE GRASS THAT WILL GROW IN SHADY PLACES 



Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth 

 of grass under trees and in shady places. For sowing in 

 such places we recommend the use of this special mixtui-e. 

 It will quickly produce an abundant and even growth of 

 beautiful green grass. The grasses used in making this 

 special mixture are only those that are well adapted for 

 growing in shade. 



The fame of this splendid mixture is second only to that 

 of the Capitol Park Mixture. 



A trial of this wonderful seed never fails to make a fast 

 friend. By sowing it in the shady spots and our CAPITOL 

 PARK GRASS SEED in the sunny lawns your dreams of 

 a fair velvety green will be quickly realized.

The "Ideal" Power Lawn Mower 



Shown above at work in the Botanical Gardens at Wash ington. 



For Public and Private Grounds 



Ideal Mowers insure velvety lawns the clean, sure, easy 

 way. Lawns are kept in perfect condition — the work is 

 done quickly and easily by one man and at a minimum 

 expense. 



The mower can be guided closely around flower beds, 

 trees and walks. The roller levels all unsightly bumps, and 

 does not mar the lawn with hoof-prints or mutilate the 

 shrubbery, as is the case with horse-drawn mowers. 



Ideal Mowers are a money-saving investment. They do 

 away with several men and horses, and consume gas and 

 oil only while working. 



For Golf Grounds 



Maximum enjoyment of golf calls for smooth, close- 

 cropped putting greens and a neat, trim fairway. 



For keeping golf courses in prime condition, the Ideal 

 Power Lawn Mower has no equal — the fairway is cut with 

 the regular 80-inch cutting blade — while the putting greens 

 are kept in trim with a 22-inch cutting unit designed espe- 

 cially for this purpose. 



One man and an "Ideal" can in one day mow all the put- 

 ting greens of an 18-hole course — and do it better than by 

 any other method.
