How to Have a Beautiful Lawn 
Our lawn grass seed produces a perfect and enduring 
lawn of luxuriant richness, with closely interwoven, firm, 
deep and elastic turf, is generally ready for mowing in 
six weeks from time of sowing and is composed of a 
thoroughly balanced combination of native and foreign 
fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, 
that flourish under varied conditions, soils and climates, 
growing during different seasons of the year, so that a 
deep green, smooth and velvety sward free from clumps 
is maintained from snow to snow without burning brown 
in the hot months of summer. A lawn may be established 
either by “sodding” or “seeding.” The latter is not only 
much less expensive but much more satisfactory, as better grasses can thus 
be obtained, and the quality and variety of the grasses have a great deal to 
do with appearance and the permanency of the lawn.

Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed 
THE VERY BEST OBTAINABLE—CAREFULLY BLENDED—YOU CAN 
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LAWN WITH VERY LITTLE WORK, BY 
USING OUR WELL BALANCED MIXTURE 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of 
trees, which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this mixture 
there need be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine dwarf-grow¬ 
ing, evergreen varieties which in their wild or natural state are to be found 
growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has 
been densely shaded by trees is frequently “sour” and if the drainage is 
defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. In such 
cases an application of slake lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thou¬ 
sand square feet, or 40 bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and 
sweetener, but the moss should be first removed. 
Price, postpaid, V 2 lb. 30c; lb. 55c; 3 lbs. $1.55. By express or freight, 
not prepaid, 5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. $4.70; 15 lbs. $6.90; 25 lbs. $11.25. 
Combination Lawn and Garden Invigorator 
The Marvelous Lawn Tonic—The Wonder Fertilizer—The Unequaled 
Garden Medicine. 
Made in Rockford—This Is Not an Experiment But Has Been Used 
for Years with Excellent Results. 
Extensive experiments have convinced us that this unequaled Fer¬ 
tilizer or Garden Invigorator is the most wonderful product of its 
kind ever offered. This last season we have given it final and ex¬ 
haustive tests, which have proven beyond a doubt that it should be 
used in every State in the Union. No matter for what purpose, or 
under what conditions it was used, the results were always the same 
—simply marvelous. 
A Petunia Bed, with our combination Invigorator sprinkled lightly 
on the soil, showed an increase in size of the flower, and more bril¬ 
liant colorings. Vegetables planted in poor soil in July when others 
were well started towards bearing, not only made heavier yields, but 
matured almost as soon as the earlier planted garden. Lawns with 
an application of 25 pounds to 1000 square feet grew heavier sod of 
a richer color, and were still as green on December 1st as in the 
Summer time. Keep a bag on hand always. You will need it almost 
the year round. Packed in 3 size bags to meet all requirements. 
Shipped by Express or Freight at buyer’s expense. 25 lbs. $1.65; 
50 lbs. $2.60; 100 lbs. $4.25. 
Sheep Manure, Pulverized. One of the most generally used of animal 
manures. Unequalled for general use in growing flowers, and is also 
recommended for use on the lawn. 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 50 
lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $3.50; 500 lbs., $16.50; 1000 lbs., $30.00; ton, $55.00.
