and good results are not likely to follow the use of the customary 
mixtures. As a result of an intimate knowledge of southern condi¬ 
tions we offer a special formula of grass seeds which we find is highly 
satisfactory. We advise that two seedings be made, one in spring and 
one in fall, allowing at each, i quart to every 15 by 15 feet or 5 
bushels to the acre. Qt. 40 cts., 4 qts. $1.25, 8 qts. $2.25, V^bus.

Sow Your Lawn the New W^iy—Use LAWNSPREAD* 
LAWNSPREAD describes a material and a method designed to 
improve old lawns and make new lawns in a speedy, efficient 
manner. It will be found more convenient and quicker than 
sowing seed in the usual way; a better distribution is secured, 
fewer weeds will bother you. Plant-foods and trouble-repellent 
substances are sown along with the seed. 
LAWNSPREAD, the material, is a mixture of screened, sterile 
soil-materials, approved grass-foods and the high-quality grass 
seed “Staigreen”; in the mixture, also, are ingredients to deter 
earthworms, Japanese beetles, and grubs; other ingredients pro¬ 
tect against fungous diseases. There are no weed seeds in Lawn- 
spread, and it is almost odorless. Lawnspread may be used 
wherever grass seeds would be sown, but it is a complete treat¬ 
ment, and better results may be looked for in shorter time. 
The mixture is a dry powder, packed in bags containing one- 
half bushel and weighing 25 pounds. In a dry, cool place, 
Lawnspread may be stored up to three months without impair¬ 
ing the seeds contained in it. Lawnspread consists practically 
of grass seeds that have been pre-sown under the most favor¬ 
able conditions.
