Fall Lawn Making 



SEPTEMBER, with its warm days and cool, dewy nights, is an 

 admirable time to make a new lawn or renovate the old one. 

 The September sun has plenty of warmth to properly germi- 

 nate the seed and a good root growth will be secured before cold 

 weather. Lawns started in the fall withstand the hot summer months 

 better than those sown in early spring. 



BECKERT'S "SPECIAL" LAWN MLXTURE 



The utmost care and attention has been devoted to our "Special" 

 Lawn Mixture and it comprises the finest assortment of recleaned 

 grasses, carefully blended in the proper proportions so as to insure 

 a perfect and luxuriant lawn of velvety green texture. The differ- 

 ent grasses in this formula are all selected for a special purpose; 

 some for their deep rooting and spreading nature, others for their 

 fine leaves and color, others for their ability to make a close, dense 

 turf and season of growth, some for their ability to thrive under 

 trying conditions of heat and drought. Use 1 pound to 250 square 

 feet, 100 pounds to the acre. 1 lb., 60c; 2 lbs., $1.15; 5 lbs., $2.75; 

 prepaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.00; 25 lbs., $11.75; 100 lbs., $45.00.
