A BEAUTirUL LAWN 



There is nothing which adds more to the external attractiveness of a home than a beautiful lawn. 

 You may have such by providing the right conditions. These are: 



First. — A rich, properly prepared soil. If the ground is naturally rich, all that is necessary is that 

 it be well spaded, making it as fine and mellow as possible. If, as is often the case, it consists of the 

 earth from the excavation for the house, or is hard and lumpy, it should first receive a good dressing of 

 manure which should be spaded in, mixing it with the soil, which should be made as fine and free from 

 lumps as possible. It should then stand for a few days, and if possible until after a good rain, when it 

 should receive a second dressing of manure and be again spaded, making it fine and free from lumps to 

 the depth of at least a foot. In some cases it may be necessary to repeat this a third and even a fourth 

 time. In any case the surface of the soil should be made as fine and smooth as possible before sowing 

 the seed. 



Second.— We must have good seed of the right varieties. Some sorts are the most luxuriant in 

 spring, others in summer, and still others in autumn, and a wise selection of varieties in proper 

 proportions is very important. "We have given much thought and made many experiments to secure 

 the best selection and think our Central Park Mixture the best possible combination to secure a fine 

 lawn. 



Third. — It is important that the seed be properly planted. It should be sown at the rate of from 

 60 to 100 lbs. to the acre. The more freely the seed is used the quicker a thick, velvet-like turf may be 

 secured. One pound of seed will be sufficient for 600 square feet. It may be sown in early spring or in 

 the fall, but if at the latter time it should be early enough to r.llow the plants to get well started before 

 the ground becomes frozen. The surface having been freshly raked, sow in the seed as evenly as 

 possible and rake it in, following if possible with a roller. Having secured a good growth, it should 

 be kept close and velvet-like by repeated cutting, and, if necessary, watering. 



Prices on Grass Seeds subject to change. The pound prices include postage; 100 pound prices are by 

 freight or express, at purchaser's expense.
