THE DIKGEE <& GOflARD GO.'S MWfl GRASS SEED. 



A SPECIAL. MIXTURE OP THE BEST NATURAL GRASSES 

 FOR MAKING NEW LAWNS AND RENOVATING OLD ONES. 



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

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

 and pleasing. 



In preparing the ground for seeding, break to the depth of 10 to 12 inches with plow or spade and pulverize thoroughly ; be care- 

 ful 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 any time during the Spring, Summer or Fall months ; but the best results are obtained by sowing 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 maybe 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 apart of the original loam. The 

 use of manures and compost in liberal quantities will be of great assistance.
