CAPITflL CITY LflWN ORflSS SEED 



Our mixture of Grass Seeds for Lawns, Parks, _ Tennis 

 and Cricket grounds is composed of the finest varieties of 

 grasses, each of which has its season of beauty, and the 

 result of this blending is the producing of a sod that is not 

 only always evergreen and velvety in appearance, but of 

 the color and beauty of the emerald. 



Seeding is preferable to sodding, because it is cheaper, 

 and will soon cover the earth with a luxuriant growth of 

 thrifty grass and if fertilized spring and fall will last in- 

 definiteh'. 



Frequent mowing prevents natural seeding, which grasses 

 annuallj^ supply in abundance to restore and thicken sod. 



Hence, when the grass is^ injured by tramping or thinned 

 by other cause, the best and most natural method to restore 

 its beauty is to sow seed plentifully. Use two pounds of 

 seed on a space 20 x 40, or 800 square feet. 



To prepare the ground for seeding Lawn grass, it should 

 be plowed deeply, cross plowed, and the soil finely pulver- 

 ized and enriched. Use fertilizer and avoid the danger of 

 an importation of seeds, the growth of sorrel, weeds, etc., 

 liable to be in barnyard manure. 



These seeds should be covered vers- slightly and a roller 

 run over the ground after sowing. Pt. loc. Qt. 20c. Lb.
