Lawn Grass Seed 



It produces a smooth, velvety green sward of attractive ap- 

 pearance. 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. 



Seeding may be done at any time during the spring, summer or 

 fall, but the best results are obtained by sowing during April, M ay, 

 September or October. Where fall sowing is practical a top-dress- 

 ing 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 surface clean. To renovate lawn, loosen the 

 soil on the hare spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal 

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



Price, by mail, 50 cts. per pound; in bulk, by express, 

 45 cts. per pound, 20 pounds or more.
