THOMAS J. GREY CO.’S SEED CATALOGUE 63 
Grey’s Special Lawn Grass Seed Mixtures 
The following- directions may be useful to those who are 
not familiar with lawn making. 
The soil should be of good depth, moderately rich, the 
land should be carefully drained, and the soil thoroughly 
pulverized. Some good fertilizer—pure ground bone, wood 
ashes, or a specially prepared lawn fertilizer—should be 
used. After sowing, the ground should be lightly raked and 
rolled. 
The selection of seed is important. U’se only such mixtures 
as are free from weed seeds, and such as will produce a 
firm, strong turf and a fine growth. A liberal quantity is 
necessary to secure good results (not less than 64 pounds 
per acre). The best time to make a lawn is from the middle 
of August through September. If seed is sown at this sea¬ 
son, the grass will become strong enough to withstand the 
winter, and a good lawn is assured the following season.
