really attractive. 
This is our own mixture, proved by years of lawn making to be 
the best for the- South. You cannot buy it elsewhere. It makes 
a quick show and on well prepared soil soon becomes a beautiful 
velvety lawn. It stands summer heat and drought without serious 
injurjq coming out again when the rains begin. If watered thor- 
oughly once or twice a week during hot, dry weather of course it 
will stay green all the time, as it does fine without attention dur- 
ing the fall, winter and spring.

turf Sow Hastings’ Evergreen Lawn 
Grass this fall, early, for new lawns 
or reseeding old lawns. For new or remade lawns, spade or plow 
12 inches deep. Remove all rocks and litter. Apply one bag (50 
lbs.) of hydrated, air slacked, lime to each 1,000 sq. ft. (plat 
20x50 feet) and harrow or rake in. 5 to 10 days after liming, apply 
100 pounds Pulverized Sheep Manure' to each 1,000 square feet. 
(Never use stable or barnyard manure. Wizard Brand Sheep Ma- 
nure is subjected to intense heat to destroy weeds, disease and 
all plant life and so is best.) iMix in the sheep manure by spading 
or plowing. Apply garden or lawn fertilizer (commercially known 
as 8-4-4, 50 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. Rake thoroughly, mixing fertilizer 
with soil and working the soil down fine and smooth. Sow the seed 
carefully so not to skip spots. 5 lbs. of seed will plant 1,000 sq. ft. 
(20x50 ft.). Plant a plenty of seed or you won’t have a thick, 
velvety lawn. Write for prices on Wizard Brand Sheep Manure. 
You should be able to get 8-4-4 Fertilizer and Hydrated Lime 
locally. 
Hastings’ Evergreen Lawn Grass, properly planted daring fall months- will make your bouse “The Home Beautiful.” See above. 
HASTINGS’ PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE (NO. 551) 
Wherever cattle are raised, wherever horses and cows are kept, 
there is need for pasture grazing. There are many soil types in 
the South and some grasses may do a good deal better on yours 
than others. The only waj" to find out would be to test many va- 
rieties over several years. This is impractical in most all cases so 
we have experimented for you. This mixture has been made up 
after careful study and experiments on many soil types through 
the South and has given by far better results than any single grass 
or any other combination of grasses. 
This mixture is only recommended for the northern parts of 
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas and South Carolina, but in North Car- 
olina, Tennessee and further north you will find it gives good re- 
sults and is fairly permanent. It should be planted in the fall for 
best results and *the land should be thoroughly prepared, rich or 
heavily manured and fertilized, worked smooth and fine. You must 
have good soil and a good seed bed before planting. With these 
you should obtain a fine pasture. Sow at least 35 pounds of seed 
per acre and it is best to add a pound each of Red Clover and 
Alsike Clover seed to each 10 pounds of the mixture. Clover and 
grass seeds won’t mix evenly so buy the clover separately. There 
is no Bermuda or Johnson Grass in this mixture. Hastings’ Per- 
manent Pasture Mixture is properly proportioned for best results 
and contains Blue Grass, Orchard, Meadow Fescue, Red Top, Tall 
Meadow, Italian Rye, Crested Dog’s Tail and English or Perennial 
Rye Grasses. Prepare your pasture land thoroughly, plant this 
mixture this fall, which is far better than early spring planting, 
and you should get a better pasture than from any other you can 
plant. Pound, 50 cents; 5 pounds, $2.25; postpaid. Grass seed 
prices fluctuate. Write for quantity prices when ready to buy.
