Blended only from heavy, recleaned, live seeds of those lawn grasses known to be 
adapted to our soils and climate. Free from worthless chaff. High in germination. 
Weight 1 lb. per quart, 32 lbs. per bushel. 1 lb. (1 qt.) is sufficient for about 300 to 
400 square feet. 
Recognized as a quality mixture and used extensively on lawns of fine homes and 
large estates. Best for nearly all situations, except the most shaded spots, where we 
advise the use of Perry’s Shady Spot Lawn Seed. 
After spading and raking to thoroughly pulverize your soil and free it from rubbish, 
cover with topsoil if you wish. Broadcast VERT at the rate of 100 lbs. to every 4,000 
square feet. We sell it and thoroughly recommend it. Then level and sow Franklin 
Park Lawn Seed in all sunny situations. Shady Spot elsewhere, at the rate of 1 lb. 
to every 300 to 400 square feet. Make sure you broadcast it evenly. (A Cyclone Seeder 
will save seed, time and patience on large areas). Roll, if not sticky, with a water weight 
roller to settle the seed uniformly and make the lawn smoother and more presentable. 
On small spaces simply raking will answer. 
We advise watering at night or early morning—not when the sun shines. Cut the 
grass frequently with a sharp lawn mower after it first gets about 3 inches high. Dig out 
promptly with a Sure Grip Weeder any weeds that may spring up from weed seeds that have been lying dor¬ 
mant in the soil. Scatter in small amounts of additional seed 'where weeds have been extracted. 
This man is wise to sow the 
best Lawn Seed he can se¬ 
cure, Perry’s Franklin 
Park. He knows that it 
pays to start right, that the 
first saving by using “cheap” 
seed is lost quickly by nec¬ 
essary replacement of a poor 
catch of inferior grasses.

Our Shady Spot Lawn Seed is blended from the best grasses possible to obtain for 
this purpose, only those that grow and flourish under shady conditions in their natural and 
wild state being used. 
It is always advisable for those who are seeding down shady places to supply new soil, 
if possible, especially if large trees are producing the shade, as their roots spread so fast 
as to quickly exhaust its nourishment. When unable to supply this, the ground should 
be well dug over and tree roots taken out. Where the soil has a tendency to be sour use 
Land Lime (about 50 lbs. to 1,000 square feet) to sweeten it. Fertilize as for Franklin 
Park Lawn Seed, in sunny places. 
As frost leaves the ground in early Spring, roll your lawn with a genuine Water Weight 
roller (see page 41) and keep it looking smooth. Increase the weight as the soil becomes 
drier to prevent the separation of tender grass roots from the nourishing soil.
