A Pretty Lawn Adds to Your Home 
Make Your Lawn Attractive. 
NICHOLSON'S 
FANCY HULLED 
BERMUDA GRASS 
QUICK GERMINATING 
Bermuda grass is without a doubt the one 
best grass for lawns in the South. We are 
now able to offer you this wonderful grass in 
the hulled seed. This operation hastens ger¬ 
mination, as the hulled seed will germinate 
in seven to ten days from time of planting 
and will prove to be a boon to new home 
builders who wish to establish a new lawn in 
a minimum of time. Using seed is so much 
less expensive than sod. 
This seed should be used at the rate of five 
pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet. 
March, April and May are the best months 
for sowing. 
Liven up your old lawn or establish a new 
one with Nicholson’s Fancy Hulled Bermuda 
Grass seed. Price: lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.49, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid: 10 lbs., $5.75. Please ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
NICHOLSON’S FANCY BERMUDA GRASS SEED (Cynodon Dacty- 
lon). Will grow on almost any soil, and is the finest grass to sow 
in the South for summer lawns. In order to have best success in 
the growing of Bermuda Grass the seed should be planted in the 
spring or late summer, when the weather is warm or moist. If sown 
before a wet spell the seed will come up in a very short time after 
rain. Have the ground well prepared, then sow the seed broadcast. 
After the sowing run a roller over the land so as to firm the sur¬ 
face, as Bermuda Grass requires a firm seed bed. For lawns sow 6 
to 10 pounds to every 1,000 square feet, 20x50, mixed with dry sand 
before sowing. Lb., 50c; 2 lbs., 90c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., 
$3.75. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
NICHOLSON’S MIXED SHADY LAWN GRASS. Especially pre¬ 
pared for shady places where Bermuda will not grow, such as spots 
under trees, etc. Before sowing cut out as many of the surface roots 
of the trees as possible, as these sap the life of the soil. Loosen the 
top of the soil, then give a top dressing of Nicholson’s Pulverized 
and Sterilized Sheep Manure. Sow the grass seeds and rake them 
in lightly, keeping them well watered during the summer. One pound 
will sow 10x20 feet, the equivalent of 200 square feet of space. Lb., 
75c; 2 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.00. Please write 
for prices in large lots. 
NICHOLSON’S SPECIAL MIXED WINTER LAWN GRASS. This 
is a mixture of grasses that have proven the best sorts for winter lawns

NEW LAWNS. In making a new lawn, the ground should be well prepared and 
in a fine state of cultivation. Then give it a top dressing of Pulverized Sterilised 
Sheep Manure, which is free from weeds, at the rate of 100 pounds to 1,000 square 
feet, afterwards sow Nicholson’s Purity Brand Fancy Bermuda Grass Seed at the 
rate of one pound to 400 square feet, 20x20; then rake the lawn over thoroughly, 
and roll it if possible. Keep it well sprinkled and the grass will soon come Up. 
Fertilize your lawn with our Evergreen Lawn Dressing twice a year and you will 
have beautiful green grass. 
OLD LAWNS. Grass, like everything else, has to be fed to keep it growing 
nicely. For your old lawn, during the winter, you should give it an application 
of 100 pounds of Pulverized Sheep Manure to every 1,000 square feet. In the spring, 
just about the time the grass is cut the second time, give it an application of 
Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing at the rate of 100 pounds to 6,000 square 
feet, or 60x100 feet, putting this on the lawn when the grass is dry. During the 
summer give your lawn another application of Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dress¬ 
ing. Apply this when the grass is dry. Afterwards sprinkle thoroughly so as to 
wash the fertilizer in well.
