Does Your Grass Grow? 
Does it present a smooth, velvety surface throughout the 
season, or does it die out in spots, look “starved” and show 
a sickly, yellowish green ?. In most cases, the soil beneath 
the grass or in which seeds are sown, needs expert attention 
and special preparation for best results. 
Beautiful Lawns Guaranteed 
by a Specialist 
For over twenty years, the produc- 
tion of “Pleasure Turf” has been my 
special work. A correct soil analy- 
sis combined with often needed pre- 
liminary work to put the soil in 
condition, together with the best 
seeds for each specific case and pur- 
pose generally guarantee the de- 
sired results. Why not put your 
“lawn problems” up to me? 
Everything for the Greenkeeper in any 
quantity and at reasonable prices is 
obtainable from me. I supply hun- 
dreds of the leading country clubs and 
estates with thousands of pounds of 
different grass seed mixtures every 
year. My special “Magnet” fertilizer 
is a positive and lasting action. Every 
implement or requisite necessary' for 
a perfect lawn is available here.

j is fully explained in my prospectus, a copy of which is yours 
^ Lawns free for the asking. Not a scientific treatise on soils and 
rv ) , TP1 • seeds, but plain statements how to secure perfect lawns at 
Uon t 1 nrive least expense. Fully illustrated with many views of my
