LAWN GRASS SEED 

 Our lawn grass mixture is the one es- 

 pecially recommended by the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture and is the 

 very best that can be made. If direc- 

 tions are followed, it will give a soft, 

 close sod of uniform texture and rich 

 emerald green. Allow 1 lb. for 350 to 

 400 square feet: 5 bushels per acre. 

 Directions: To secure the best lawn, 

 the soil should be well drained and 

 deeply plowed, and fertilized with well 

 rotted manure or some good commer- 

 cial fertilizer. Harrow or rake it as 

 fine as possible and roll before the 

 seed is sown. Sow as early in the 

 spring as possible, or in September for 

 fall sowing. For further instructions 

 see Culture of Flowers, page 31 (free 

 if asked for with an order of flower 

 seed of 25c or over).
