How To Make A Lawn 
The ground should be thoroughly prepared, that is, the soil should be fertilized, then turned over 
to a depth of six inches and pulverized. Sow good seed (which is very essential), roll the ground and 
cross roll in order to press the seed firmly into the soil. The proper time to sow grass seed depends upon 
the latitude. In the Central and Eastern States seed may be sown from March 1st to the end of May; 
if the season is favorable sowings may be made up to July. Seed may be sown in the Fall, from the 
first part of August to the end of September. Sow, if possible, when the ground is moist. In regard 
to weeds in new lawns, weed seeds have been known to lie dormant for several years and after the 
ground has been turned up they have germinated. Plant seed thickly, which will tend to crowd out the 
weeds. For seeding a new lawn use 5 to 6 bushels to the acre or 1 peck to 1500 square feet.

cellent results have been accomplished with our Kennedy’s Benturf Lawn Grass Seed Mixture which 
contains a large amount of Bent seed. This makes a compact, rapid growth, forming a close sward

KENNEDY’S GREENTURF LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTURE 
(Formerly Kennedy’s Green Velvet) 
This is the lawn grass seed mixture which for over 25 years has seeded many of the most 
beautiful lawns in America under the name Kennedy’s Green Velvet Lawn Grass Seed Mixture. Re¬ 
cently worthless mixtures bearing the trade name “Green Velvet” have been marketed to the con¬ 
fusion of our patrons, to avoid this confusion we have changed the name to KENNEDY’S GREEN¬ 
TURF LAWN GRASS SEED MIXTLTRE. The seed in this mixture is all recleaned and especially 
adapted to withstand the heat and drought of the Summer. When properly sown and cared for 
GREENTURF will produce a beautiful green lawn the entire season. Lb. 70c., pk. $3.40, bus. $13.00,
