A & M 
LAWN SEEDS 
For Private Lawns, Country Clubs, 
Golf Links and Public Parks 
The lawn is the finishing- touch of the home 
and once planted it remains indefinitely, there¬ 
fore, it is important that the proper selection 
of seed be made in the beginning and thus 
avoid disappointment. Pure seed of good germ¬ 
ination is important and freedom from weed 
seed is necessary for best results. A & M lawn 
seeds and mixtures are cleaned thoroughly and 
are tested for purity and germination. When 
you plant A & M Lawn Grass Seed you are 
planting the best that the market affords. Write 
for Lawn Circular No. 18.

A & M VELVET LAWN GRASS 
Has been used for many years throughout the Southwest with 
highly satisfactory results. It is a blending of grasses best 
suited to the variation of temperatures to which the lawn is 
subjected during the twelve months period. It contains the 
proper proportion of the best, fine bladed grasses and white 
clover and when properly planted and cared for will produce a 
beautiful turf of bright, velvety green color. If you are having 
your lawn planted by a landscape gardener, insist that he use 
A & M VELVET LAWN GRASS. It is packed in 1 lb. car¬ 
tons and in specially branded bags of 5 and 10 lbs. each. It 
requires 1 lb. of A & M Velvet Lawn Grass Seed to plant a space 
10x20 or 200 square feet. This is the least that should be used 
and a heavier seeding will give quicker results. (1-lb. carton

and will blend in with the other lawn grass. It is a special 
mixture of fine bladed grasses and will produce an abundant

A & M VELVET PLANT FOOD 
Used Everywhere with Best Results 
Every California gardener should fully realize the necessity for fertilizing. Most growers 
are inclined to use too small an amount of fertilizer and particularly since it is somewhat 
difficult to secure barnyard fertilizer, there is too often a tendency to forget the matter entirely. 
This is a mistake and will often cause disappointment, not only in the lawn, but in the garden 
as well. A & M VELVET PLANT FOOD will give you very satisfactory results and for a 
new lawn it should be used at the rate of about 100 lbs. to 1,500 square feet and should be 
raked in before planting. This should be done several days in advance of seeding. For an 
established lawn broadcast evenly at the rate of 4 to 6 lbs. per 100 square feet and water 
thoroughly immediately after applying. For roses, use about % to 1 lb. per bush, depending 
upon the size of the bush; for trees and shrubs use a larger quantity. It will be found bene¬ 
ficial to all plant life and the results are quick and lasting. It is odorless and well balanced 
for genei’al purposes. (25-lb. sack $1-05) (50 lbs. $1.75) (100 lbs. $3.10) not prepaid.
