How to Make a Lawn 
The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful 
lawn lies most largely in the thorough preparation before a 
seed is sown. If there is grading to be done, the top soil to 
the depth of 6 to 8 inches should first be removed, to finish 
with after the grade is complete. 
This should be thoroughly harrowed and raked to reduce to 
as fine a condition as possible, as well as to level it, as nothing 
detracts so much from the appearance of a lawn as an uneven 
surface. Sow the seed as early in the spring as convenient, 
the earlier the better if the soil is in good condition, scatter¬ 
ing it in both directions at right angles to each other, which 
will give a more even distribution. After the seed has been 
sown it should be raked lightly, then thoroughly rolled. 
No one kind of grass will make a lawn that will keep green 
all through the season, but a mixture of several is essential. 
Our Velvet Sod Mixture is such a scientifically arranged com¬ 
bination, giving quick, sure and satisfying results unsurpassed 
by any general lawn mixture on the market.

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass 
suited for permanent pasture and is also fine for hay.

Grass. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive on it 
whether dry or green. Succeeds even in poor soil, and as the 
roots penetrate deep, from 12 to 15 inches, it takes extremely 
dry weather to affect it, and will stand freezing very effec¬ 
tually. About 24 pounds of seed are sown to the acre.

SELECTED CLOVER SEED 
Alfalfa (Lucerne). Northwestern grown. For bringing up 
** ** poor land it is the best of the Clovers, as it not 
only produces large masses of foliage but forces its roots 
deeply into the earth. On land that is not naturally rich it 
needs fertilizing to help it get started. If there is no lime 
in the soil a top dressing of it should be given when the 
land is plowed. For inoculation, see “Nitragin” offer, page 
16. It should be mowed often enough during first season 
to keep the weeds down, being cax-eful to cut above the 
crowns of the Alfalfa plants. Not adapted to low, wet land. 
Lb. 45c. Write for samples and prices on larger quantities. 
Sow early in spring or fall at rate of 20 lbs. per acre. 
Al<%ike (Swedish). An excellent variety, of luxuriant 
Misinc growth and very sweet; valuable for pasture or en¬ 
silage, especially on moist land; makes good bee forage.

quires lime, which should be supplied on land where it is 
lacking. Makes fine pasture for bees and good quality of
