Improved 
ARMORY 
LAWN GRASS 
MIXTURE 
THIS PERFECTLY BLENDED LAWN GRASS MIXTURE WILL 
GIVE YOU A LAWN YOU CAN MOW IN SIX WEEKS FROM 
PLANTING. ARMORY LAWN Grass Mixture is a combination of 
grasses and clover mixed in such proportions as to give you a quick, 
sturdy and beautiful lawn. The faster growing grasses contained in 
Armory Mixture serve as nurse crops for the slower growing varieties 
which are eventually the dominating grasses of the mixture. We placed Armory Mixture 
on the market many years ago and from time to time have improved the blend by reduc¬ 
ing some of the proportions and increasing the quantities of better grasses contained in 
the mixture until now in our IMPROVED ARMORY MIXTURE we have a grass that 
pleases wherever it is planted. If you wish to seed a shaded area just tell us so and we 
will incorporate the right amount of a shade-loving grass in Armory Mixture. If your 
order does not specify seed for shade we will send straight Armory Mixture. Rate of 
seeding is 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. Price, lb. 70c; (By mail 80c).

FERTILIZING MAKES LAWNS GOOD. Thousands of people have learned that the intelligent use 
of good fertilizer goes a long way toward solving most lawn problems. Fertilizer thickens the grass, gives 
it a rich green color and drives out the weeds. Fertilizers (plant-foods) prevent the appearance of bare 
and yellow spots and require less watering to maintain a good growth. The use of Peat Mull in the 
top soil before sowing the seed will help to build up an ideal soil condition for the established turf. The 
use of Peat Mull and VIGORO (See page 54) in combination will insure a successful lawn; a lawn that 
will be the envy of your neighbors. Use Vigoro at the rate of 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft., working it into the 
soil before sowing the seed, water down the area and let it stand for a day before sowing seed. After 
the grass is up, make an application (at about 6 weeks from planting time) of 2 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. and 
then watch your lawn produce that velvety, luxuriant, rich-green setting for your home. VIGORO is a 
complete plant-food. It is a square meal for grass. This good plant-food will not only produce top growth, 
but promotes dense root growth, so necessary for a permenently substantial lawn. After the fertility 
of the soil has been built up it takes a very small amount of fertilizer each year to keep your lawn in 
“tip-top” shape.
