THE DINOCB (k CONAR.D CO.'i 

 LAWN ORAiJ iEED 



A Special Mixture of the Best Natural Grasses for Making New Lawny and Renovating Old Onej- 



This mixture of Lawn Grass Seed is the result of careful experiment and comparison, and we regard it as the best combi- 

 nation for general sowing. It produces a smooth, even and velvety greeu sward that is paiticularly attractive and pleasing. 

 The seed we offer is as free from cfiaff and iveed seed as improved machinery can make it. and will give the best of satisfaction. A 

 measured bushel will weigh about 37 lbs., and will produce as luauy — if ixot more — grass plants to a given 

 area, as three oi* four bushels of the ordinary la-*vn grass seed. 



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 coflect 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, Summer or Fall months ; but the best 

 results are obtained bv sowing during April, May, September or October ; if the work is done during the Fall months, a heavy 

 ton dressing of stable'manure mav 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 si)Ot 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 hberal quantities 

 will be of great assistance.
