MAKING A GOOD LAWN 
Our experience has been first to thoroughly subdue the soil and if it is heavy clay or light to 
work in well rotted manure. Sheep manure or other grass fertilizers will make it grow faster and 
get established sooner. Keep the ground raked down well until you are ready to sow our grass seed. 
If sown just before a rain it is best, if not, the ground should be sprinkled well afterwards and the 
surface kept moist continually as there is no plant, that will dry out quicker than the little tender 
shoots of tame grass. After the grass gets 
started keep it cut down with scythe or a lawn 
mower. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
Our lawn grass is pure Kentucky Blue Grass. 
No mixture of old seed or substitutes. It is 
fancy heavy new seed and is the best that 
can be bought, and is not to be compared with 
the cheap chaffy seed offered at a reduced price. 
For a successful lawn the best seed is the 
cheapest to buy. Use 1 lb. for each 350 square 
feet. 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 25c per lb.; 10 lbs. or 
more, 20c per lb. Postpaid. 
FANCY RED TOP GRASS 
To get a lawn started we find it advisable 
to use about 25 per cent of Red Top Grass 
with the Kentucky Blue Grass. This grass 
soon makes a green turf and helps the Ken¬ 
tucky Blue grass to get established better. 
1 lb., postpaid, 25c; 5 lbs. or more, 20c per lb., 
postpaid. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Extra fine to mix with Kentucky Blue Grass 
for the lawn. The, clover helps to protect the 
tender grass shoots until it becomes estab¬ 
lished, enriches the soil and makes the grass 
grow better. Price: 1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., 40c per 
lb.; 10 or more lbs., 35c per lb. Postpaid.
