LAWN MAKING 
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN: Prepare the soil well; this means spade it over and dig in some fertilizer or manure 
the ground stand a month, or else do not apply fertilizer until grass is three months old. Two weeks before planting roll and wat ■ «? 
ground well and before sowing the seed hoe the soil but do not spade it. This will kill countless thousands of small weeds wliiH 
always m the soil and would otherwise have to be pulled up by hand — a laborious job. ' are 
Sow the seed evenly and roll it in or sprinkle a good cover of sandy loam over it. Where a roller is not available rake the se P ,1 i 
lightly and press down by patting with spade. Water twice a day until grass comes up. In stiff, clayey soils, if planting in sum!" 
use straw or leaves to protect the germinating seeds until the grass is an inch high. Make the lawn any time of the year if there U 
plenty of water. Use one pound of seed to 250 square feet of lawn. Keep free from weeds, water well, and cut regularly. 
f*m&e«K. To insure a rapid growth of grass some kind year. By express or freight only. Odorless Lawn Dressing 
of fertilizer is necessary, especially in lawns where the 10 lbs. 60c; 25 lbs. $1.25; 50 lbs. $2.00: 100 lbs $3 50 
nourishment of the soil has been used up by continuously 
growing on the same place. We have a fertilizer .especially "Lawns and How to Make Them," is an excellent well

GRAINS 
We have had so many inquiries for SEED GRAINS in past seasons that we have decided to 
list most of the regular market varieties of BARLEY, OATS, WHEAT and RYE. 
Our prices will naturally be a little higher, as we send out nothing but recleaned seed. On ac- 
count of the fluctuation in the market value of all GRAINS, it is impossible for us to quote a quan- 
tity price which would hold good throughout the season; consequently, we are not giving prices on 
amounts above 50 lbs. Write or wire us for priceswhere not given. 
The price on quantities under 50 pounds is at one cent advance over the 50-lb. price. 
BARLEY 
CHEVALIER. A well-known variety, but not grown to 
such an extent as formerly. Used for brewing as well 
as hay; 50 lbs. @ 4c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
COMMON. We have endeavored to get hold of seed stock 
that is clean and plump; 50 lbs. @ 3c per lb.; lOO lbs. 
at market rates. 
RYE 
WINTER. Grown for hay by dairymen, but principally for 
gram; is also planted with Vetch, and in combination 
makes an excellent fodder; 50 lbs. @ 3Y 2 c per lb.; 100 
lbs. at market rates. 
WHEAT 
BLUE STEM. The most popular variety; used principally 
for hay, on account of being beardless; also used in 
mixture with Black Oats; 50 lbs. @ 4c per lb.; 100 lbs. 
at market rates. 
CLUB. Grown principally for chicken wheat; 50 lbs. @ 5c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
SONORA WHEAT. This is the variety used in the lower 
ban Joaquin Valley and is very suitable for warm, dry 
climates; 50 lbs. @ 4V£c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market 
rates. 
TURKEY RED. Used for blending in the manufacture of 
flour, on account of its hardness and high gluten con- 
tent; it has also become very popular for poultry feed- 
ing; 50 lbs. @ 3c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
OATS 
BLACK. Used principally along the Coast, where fogs pre- 
vail, where other sorts of oats would rust; 50 lbs. @ 
5c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
RED (Coast Red Oats). Are used principally in the in- 
terior to insure a change of seed; they are easily dis- 
tinguished by their dark color from those grown away 
from the Coast; 50 lbs. @ 3Y 2 c per lb.; 100 lbs. at mar- 
ket rates. 
RED (Inland Oats). Are also used extensively and produce 
the same quality of hay as the Coast Oats. There is 
probably more Red Oat Tlav grown than of any other 
variety, and it is deservedly popular; 50 lbs. @ 3V 2 c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates. 
SURPRISE OATS. This variety is used principally in the 
mountains in the interior part of the State, where it is 
very popular. When grown at lower levels it makes 
very coarse straw and for this reason is not desirable; 
50 lbs. @ 3^>c per lb.; 100 lbs. at market rates.
