 size, 3 to 4 ft., 25 cts. each, 5 for $1, $9 per 100, by express or freight. (Orders for 50 filled at 

 100 rates.) 



DINGEE SPECIAL LAWN GRASS SEED 



The best Lawn Grass Mixture for general sowing, as proven by careful experiment and compari- 

 son. It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive appearance. In preparing the ground 

 for seeding, break it 10 to 12 inches deep with plow or spade and pulverize thoroughly. The surface 

 should be raked perfectly level to prevent the formation of pools after heavjr rainfalls. Sow the seed 

 carefully and evenly at the rate of one quart to a space equal to 15 x 20 feet; two bushels will sow 

 one acre. After sowing, cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. Rolling is also in general practice. 



The Dingee Lawn Grass .Seed is especially recommended for sowing in September or October. 

 Where fall sowing is practiced, a top-dressing of manure is recommended to protect the roots of the 

 young grass during the winter. In the spring, the gross matter should be removed, leaving the sur- 

 face clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil on the bare spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing 

 a liberal quantity of seed, roll or rake again to cover the seed. 



By mail, 35 cts. per pound; in bulk, by express, 25 cts. per pound, 20 pounds or more, 20 cts. per 

 poua i, or about $5.40 per measured bushel
