Plants set out in spring be¬ 
gin bearing in July or early 
August, continuing until 
heavy freezing weather. They start bear¬ 
ing again the following June. The dark- 
green leaves are very large and of heavy 
texture, thus well protecting the berries 
from sun and rain. The berries are borne 
in clusters on strong stiff stems. Some of 
the larger berries will not go through the 
top of a quart milk bottle.

“Safety-First” Purest Lawn Grass Seed 
It is safest and cheapest to buy the very purest and best White Clover and Blue Grass 
seed for your lawn, because you avoid seeding your lawn with the noxious weeds found in 
cheap grass seeds, and get so much higher germination that a pound of the best will cover 
as much as two pounds of the cheap, chaffy, low germinating seed. 
Any of these commercial fertilizers are good: Vigoro, Sacco, Bartco, Loma. Use 3 or 4 
pounds to 100 square feet. Your local seed or feed store can supply, or get, these fertilizers.

For the Lawn’s Sake 
Lawns may be started or old ones renewed or renovated any 
time from earliest spring to October. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, leveled and allowed 
to settle, then leveled again. The more care before sowing the 
seed the better the results. Seed will wash to the low spots 
and make your lawn spotted. Sow about one part clover to 
three parts blue grass. Use not less than pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some more crosswise, 
so as to avoid streaks. Rake well before and after rowing. 
Water gently so often that soil never dries out until lawn is 
green. Clover comes quickly. Blue grass comes slowly but 
hangs on like grim death after gets a foothold. Clover draws 
nitrogen from the air and enriches the ground for itself and 
the blue grass. 
Old lawns should be re-seeded and fertilized from time to 
time. Use only the purest 6eed. Never be afraid of sowing 
too much seed, nor too often. Dandelion and other weed 
seeds are blown or carried on to the lawn. Give the lawn a 
break by sowing good pure grass seed several times a season 
to compete with dandelion seed.
