CAPITAL CITY LAWN GRASS SEED 
We take great pride in the quality of our Lawn Grass Seed and steadily increasing sales show that this quality 
is appreciated. To prepare a good lawn you must have seed of the proper kind and use plenty of it; you cannot 
produce a fine and beautiful lawn with ordinary hay seed. Next in importance is the proper preparation of the soil. 
Spade or plow it deeply, fertilize freely, and make it fine, free from clods and perfectly level, avoiding uneven places. 
When to sow. Plant early in Spring or Fall at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre. In the Spring sow 
as early as possible, raking the surface of the soil very fine and then sowing the seed. Cover by rolling with a light 
roller. In the Fall sow before the Autumn rains have ceased. One pound of our mixture will sow 200 square feet 
This is a mixture of numerous varieties selected especially to produce a fine, velvety turf. Some kinds are 
used because they spread along the surface of the ground and keep the lawn "knit together;" others are used 
because they thrive in dry weather and keep the lawn green, and still others because they thrive 
early in the Spring and late in the Fall. No one grass can make a good lawn. A scientific 
blending is necessary. The grasses in the Capital City Mixture are native hardy kinds which 
will not winterkill, and which will produce a fine sod, under favorable conditions. In the Capital 
City Mixture there is every good grass and no bad ones. It is not made from a ready-made 
formula, but is compounded of species generally more expensive and more satisfactory than 
those that go into the ordinary mixture. It is not a cheap lawn grass, but it is sold as cheaply 
as we can sell it considering the cost of the materials. 1 lb., 55c.; 2 lbs., $1.00.; 3 lbs., $1.45; 
5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.00; 15 lbs., $6.00; 25 lbs., $10.00.

SHADY NOOK LAWN GRASS SEED 
It is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places, 
and we recommend the use of this special mixture. In extremely shady spots or under trees, a 
liberal application of lime is recommended in the Fall. Apply sheep ma¬ 
nure and sow Shady Nook Lawn seed in early Spring. 1 lb., 65c.; 2 lbs.,
