^Dingee & Conard Co/s Lawn Grass Seed 



A Special Mixture of tbe Best ISatural Grasses for 

 makins: Kew I^a-wns and Renovating Old Ones. 



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

 bination for general sowing. It produces a smooth, even, velvety green sward that is particularly attractive and pleasing. 



In preparing the ground for seeding, break to the depth of lo 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 five 

 bushels to the acre ; then with a fine harrow or rake cover and give a top dressing of animal manure, ground bone or some 

 other good commercial fertilizer. Seeding may be done at anytime during the Spring, Summer or Fall months; but the 

 best results are obtained by sowmg 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.
