OLDS’ LAWN GRASS 
Fall is an ideal time to make a new lawn or reseed th e old one. Grass Seed sown in August and September will 
sprout and thrive for a long period under favorable conditions before winter sets in. Then, too, weeds are gone in 
the fall permitting the grass to grow without interference. The winter is not nearly as severe on a lawn as the 
drought and heat of the summer, and by the time summer arrives the new grass will have had six to seven months of 
good growing weather so as to be well established for the summer ordeal. Reseed the bare places. Use seed freely, 
at least one pound for each two hundred and fifty square feet, for reseeding about one-half this amount. 
Olds’ Lawn Grass has won a reputation. Critical landscape gardeners use our mixtures. We offer four very fine 
mixtures varying in price according to the amount of highest priced seed usq,d. None of them contain timothy and 
none are cheap mixtures. 
It is poor economy to sow cheap, lightweight lawn grass such as is offered in many stores.

WISCONSIN SHADY MIXTURE

MOWING THE LAWN: Improper mowing will injure your lawn. We advise not cutting the grass shorter than 
1% inches. Cutting to this length will require more frequent mowings. We advise leaving the grass about three 
inches long in the fall to leave for a winter cover. 
If you sprinkle your lawn, be sure to soak it thoroughly in the evening. Just wetting the soil is sure to cause 
injury to the lawn.
