Shady Nook Lawn Grass. Usually it is quite diffi¬ 
cult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under 
trees and in shady places. For sowing in such places 
we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will 
quickly produce an abundant and even growth of 
beautiful green grass. Per pound, 45c; 5 lbs., #2.15;

Quick Growing Mixture. A most reasonably priced 
mixture for new seeding when quick results are 
desired and low cost of seed is most important. This 
mixture contains all solid seed but does not produce 
as permanent a lawn as our Chicago Parks mixture.

Suggestions for Making and the 
Care of a Good Lawn 
THE SECRET 
GOOD SEED; First you must plant good, clean, 
solid seed, not chaff, weeds or cheap seed. For a good 
permanent velvety lawn, that you can be proud of, 
plant LEONARD’S CHICAGO PARKS LAWN 
GRASS SEED; a mixture of the very best recleaned 
permanent grasses such as Kentucky Blue Grass, Fancy 
Red Top, English Fescue Grasses and White Clover 
mixed in proper proportions according to our many 
years of experience in the making of fine lawns. 
WHEN TO PLANT: Seeding may be done to best 
advantage in the fall or early in the spring, but grass 
seed can be planted with good results at almost any time 
during the spring or summer months, and it is always 
well to have a little grass seed on hand to replant any 
thin spots on your lawn. 
NEW LAWNS: When making a new lawn thorough¬ 
ly spade and pulverize the soil, rake the ground fine and 
smooth, and at the same time it is advisable to work in 
some good fertilizer such as a mixture of pulverized 
sheep manure and Vigoro or some other equally good 
fertilizer. Then, for best results, plant LEONARD’S 
CHICAGO PARKS LAWN GRASS SEED, 1 pound 
to every 200 square feet, rake the seed in thoroughly, 
keep well watered and roll it occasionally. Grass must 
have plenty of water, and rolling packs the dirt down 
around the roots and prevents their drying out when the 
weather gets hot. 
REJUVENATING OLD LAWNS: To re-seed old 
lawns rake hard and thoroughly with a good iron tooth 
rake getting all dead grass and leaves away from the 
roots of the old grass; then sow the seed and rake it 
thoroughly. After that top dress the lawn with a good 
fertilizer. 
FILLING IN: Be careful when filling in a lawn or 
top dressing with dirt that the dirt does not contain 
weed seed. Most dirt which is taken from prairies or 
vacant lots contains a great deal of weed seed. For a light 
top dressing it is much better to use pulverized sheep 
manure or Peat Moss and a good fertilizer rather than 
to fill in with dirt which may contain weed seed and 
spoil your lawn. 
Brown Patch. If troubled with Brown Patch, we 
recommend NU-GREEN disinfectant. 3 oz. tin, 50c; 
lb., #2.00.
