Recognized as a quality mixture and used exten¬ 
sively on lawns of fine homes and large estates. 
Best for nearly all situations, except the most 
shaded spots, where we advise the use of Perry’s 
Shady Spot Lawn Seed. 
As frost leaves the ground in early Spring, roll your lawn 
with a genuine Water Weight roller (see page 41) and keep 
it looking smooth. Increase the weight as the soil becomes 
drier to prevent the separation of tender grass roots from 
the nourishing soil 
After spading and raking to thoroughly pulver¬ 
ize your soil and free it from rubbish, cover with 
topsoil if you wish. Broadcast VERT at the rate 
of 100 lbs. to every 4,000 square feet. We sell it 
and thoroughly recommend it. Then level and sow 
Franklin Park Lawn Seed in all sunny situ¬ 
ations, Shady Si)ot elsewhere, at the rate of 1 lb. 
to every 300 to 400 square feet. Make sure you 
broadcast it evenly. (A Cyclone Seeder will save 
seed, time and patience on large areas.) Roll, if 
not sticky, with a water weight roller to settle the 
seed uniformly and make the lawn smoother and 
more presentable. On small spaces simply raking 
will answer. 
We advise watering at night or early morning— 
not when the sun shines. Cut the grass frequently 
with a sharp lawn mower after it first gets about 
3 inches high. Dig out promptly with a Sure Grip 
Weeder any weeds that may spring up from weed 
seeds that have been lying dormant in the soil. 
Scatter in small amounts of additional seed where 
weeds have been extracted.

Our Shady Spot Lawn Seed is blended from 
the best grasses possible to obtain for this purpose, 
only those that grow and flourish under shady con¬ 
ditions in their natural and wild state being used. 
It is always advisable for those who are seeding 
down shady places to supply new soil, if possible, 
especially if large trees are producing the shade, 
as their roots spread so fast as to quickly exhaust 
its nourishment. When unable to supply this, the 
ground should be well dug over and tree roots 
taken out. Where the soil has a tendency to be 
sour use Land Lime (about 50 lbs. to 1,000 square 
feet) to sweeten it. Fertilize as for Franklin Park 
Lawn Seed, in sunny places.
