RUSSELL-HECKLE ’S 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 Inches. Afterwards har¬ 
row or rake carefully, pulverise all lumps and remove all large 
stones. If the soil is shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and 
spread over the surface to a depth of 5 inches. Soil may be en¬ 
riched by bone meal or well-rotted manure wherever necessary, 
then rake level and roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. 
Scatter the seed evenly over the surface at the rate of 60 or 75 
pounds per acre. Rake seed in and roll, water regularly and care¬ 
fully, as the soil is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if 
it does while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. 
When the grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and 
repeat until the grass has become Arm. Should bare spots appear, 
rake the surface and sow more seed.

How to Make a Real Winter Lawn 
Evergreen Lawn Grass. 
October and November are the ideal months for sowing. Simply 
sow seed on top of Bermuda or summer grass, these should be cut 
closely, broadcast the seed evenly over the surface covering y 2 to 
1 inch with our granulated Peat Moss. 
This Peat Moss when wet retains the moisture and is free of 
weed seeds or fungus. A bale about 135 lbs., will top dress about 
1000 square feet or an area about 50x20 feet. 
Three days later, sow the winter grass. Try our granulated Peat 
Moss this fall and watch the most beautiful winter grass you have 
ever had. 
Another good plan is to apply Vigoro to the established lawn at 
the rate of 2 pounds to 100 sq. ft. or 10 by 10 space. After the 
Vigoro is spread, wet it down thoroughly. 
Price of Peat Moss, $3.50 per bale.

R.-H. CO.’S MILLET 
MILLET, Nothing pays better for a stock raiser or a dairy 
farmer than a few acres of Millet, for it not only yields at least 
half again as much hay per acre as Timothy or Clover but is also 
of the greatest feeding value and milk producing quality. When 
spring is «n unfavorable that other crops fail to grow, or when the 
season is so late that corn will not mature, Millet is invaluable. 
Tennessee German Millet 
Our Southern grown Millet makes much better growth than the 
Western grown seed. This true Tennessee grown, a type that pro¬ 
duces better quality, grows taller and gives a larger yield of very 
nutritious hay, is a quick grower. It should be cut for hay when 
it begins to show the heads. Plant 1 % to 2 bushels an acre broad¬ 
cast. Plant from April to August. 1 lb., 20c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
1 lb., 15c.
