LAWN-MAKING. 



THE essentials for a fine Lawn are: P'irst, a rich, well-drained soil; Second, careful prep- 

 aration of the ground, making it as fine and smooth and mellow as possible: Third, a 

 wise selection of seeds; Fourth, sowiag at such 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. However 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 luxuriant in spring, 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 experi- 

 ments 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 

 60 to 100 lbs. per acre: much more is required rhan for liay or pasturage. If sown in the 

 spring, sow as early as possible, making tlie surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over 

 and sowing the seed just before a rain, wliich. if the surface has just been raked, will cover 

 the seed sufficiently. If the expected rain does nor come, cover by rolling with a light rollei'. 

 For fall seeding, sow before tlie fall rains and early enough ro enabl > rhe young grass ro be- 

 come well established before very cold weather, when a Huht ilrcs-;ing of Pure Raw Bone 

 should be given; 1 lb. of this mixture is sufficient ro sow 41111 Miuare feet. 



SHADY PLACE MIXTURE. On nearly ail lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly 

 spots on which the owners have difficulry in getting a •^r.rnd of grass; for such places this 

 mixrure is adapted. Prices; lb.. 25c.; 5 lbs.. .$1.00; 25 lbs., .'*4.50.

 Referring ro the White Hou-<e Lnvn (^rns-; mixture wliii-li I purchased from you la<t spviiu. 

 I have to say that I used this seed uu a larg ' lawn 011 niv place in the country and sei-ured 

 from it most excellent results. Tlie ground was n.u.-li and by i\n means rich, but I ser-ured 

 an pxcellent sod covered with thrifty grass. I have tried many mixtures of Grass Seed here- 

 tofore bitt have found none as s.itisfacrory as yours.
