LAWN GRASS SEED and FERTILIZERS 
Our Famous Lawn Grass Seed 
Makes a Perfect Lawn. HARDY, LUXURIANT, ALWAYS GROWS 
How to Have a Beautiful Lawn 
Our lawn grass seed produces a perfect and enduring lawn of luxuriant richnes_s, 
with closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, is generally ready for mowing in 
six weeks from time of sowing and is composed of a thoroughly balanced combination 
of native and foreign fine-leaved, deep-rooting grasses pf interweaving habit, that 
flourish under varied conditions, soils and climates, growing during different seasons 
of the year, so that a deep green, smooth and velvety sward free from clumps is main¬ 
tained from snow to snow without burning brown in the hot months of summer. A 
lawn may be established either by “sodding” or “seeding.” The latter is not only 
much less expensive but much more satisfactory, as better grasses can thus be ob¬ 
tained, and the quality and variety of the grasses have a great deal to do with appear¬ 
ance and the permanency of the lawn.

Shady Place Lawn Grass Seed 
THE VERY BEST OBTAINABLE—CAREFULLY BLENDED—YOU CAN HAVE A 
BEAUTIFUL LAWN WITH VERY LITTLE WORK, BY USING 
OUR WELL BALANCED MIXTURE 
On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the shade of trees, which 
have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this mixture there need be no further 
difficulty. It is a combination of fine dwarf-growing, evergreen varieties which in their 
wild or natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and 
shaded spots. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is frequently “sour” and 
if the drainage is defective it is apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. 
In such cases an application of slake lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand 
square feet, or 40 bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but 
the moss shopld be first removed.

and a careful blending in proper proportion and thoroughly mixed for quickly producing 
a permanent, thick and velvety sward of uniform growth and rich green grass free 
from coarseness.

Combination Lawn and Garden 
Invigorator 
The Marvelous Lawn Tonic—The Wonder Fertilizer— 
The Unequalled Garden Medicine. 
Made in Rockford—This Is Not an Experiment But Has 
Been Used for Years with Excellent Results. 
Extensive experiments have convinced us that this 
unequalled Fertilizer or Garden Invigorator is the most 
wonderful product of its kind ever offered. This last 
season we have given it final and exhaustive tests, which 
have proven beyond a doubt that it should be used in 
every State in the Union. No matter for what purpose, 
or under what conditions it was used, the results were 
always the same—simply marvelous. 
A Petunia Bed, with our combination Invigorator 
sprinkled lightly on the soil, showed an increase in size 
of the flower, and more brilliant colorings. Vegetables 
planted in poor soil in July when others were well started 
towards bearing, not only made heavier yields, but 
matured almost as soon as the earlier planted garden. 
Lawns with an application of 25 pouhds to 1000 square 
feet grew heavier sod of a richer color, and were still 
as green on December 1st as in the Summer time. Keep 
a bag on hand always. You will need it almost the 
year round. Packed in 3 size bags to meet all require¬ 
ments. Shipped by Express or Freight at buyer’s ex¬ 
pense. 25 lbs. $1.65; 50 lbs. $2.60; 10O lbs. $4.25.
