The essentials for a fine Lawn are: First, a rich, well-drained soil; Second, careful preparation 

 of the ground, niakiiiii it as fnio. and smooth and mellow as possible; Third, a wise selection of seeds; 

 Fourth, sowing; at .-ucb. a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well-established before 

 being subjected to very dry or cold weather or to the direct rays of the hot summer sun. Flowever 

 much care is bestowed" on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without frequent mowing and 

 rolling. Too much care cannot be exercised upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are most 

 luxurfant in si)ring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts 

 is required for a perfect carpet-like lawn. I have given much thought to this question and made 

 many experiments to secure the best selection. I think my White House Mixture is the best possible 



for permanent lawns. It may be planted early in spring or fall and should be sown at the rate of 6o 

 to 100 lbs. per acre; much more is required than for hay or pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as 

 early as possible, making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed just 

 before a rain, which, if the surface has just been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently. If the expected 

 rain does not come, cover by rolling with a light roller. For fall seeding, sow before the fall rains and 

 early enough to enable the young grass to become v/ell established before very cold weather, when a 

 light dressing of Pure Raw Bone should be given; i lb. of this mixture is sufficient to sow 400 

 square feet. 



SHADY PLACE MIXTURE. On nearly all lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly spots on 

 which the owners have difficulty in getting a stand of grass; for such places this mixture is adapted. 

 Prices: lb., 25c.; 5 lbs.. $t.oo; 25 lbs., $4.50.

TWO OP Our MAIVY TESTIJVIOIMALS : 



Mrs. Alice Mj'ers, of Potomac, Md., writes — June 23, 1908. I am very anxious to get the Lawn Grass 

 sown this week. iNow, won't you please send me 20 pounds of your Lawn Seed. I should like ten pounds 

 of your White House, and ten pounds of your Shady Grass Mixtures. The White House Mixture certainly 

 makes a beautiful sod and such a lovely green. 



Judge Ashley M. Gould, of the Supreme Court of the D. C, writes — January 4, 1908. Referring to the 



White House Lawn Grass mixture which I purchased from you last spring, I have to say that I used this 



seed on a large lawn on my place in the country and secured from it most excellent results. The ground was 



rough and by no means rich, but I secured an excellent sod covered with thrifty grass. I have tried many 

 mixtures of Grass Seed heretofore, but have found none as satisfactory as yours.
