Our Lawn Grass is the Best You Can Buy 
“Qood in Shade or Sunshine” 
A well-kept lawn adds to the beauty and value of any residence, and a good stand 
of lawn grass can only be secured by using the right kind of seed, mixed in the proper 
proportions. Our Grass Seed Mixture is made up of fresh, unadulterated seeds, natural 
and foreign, and fancy White Dutch Clover, in such proportions as to insure a beauti¬ 
ful and permanent lawn. It is carefully analyzed to determine its purity and thor¬ 
oughly tested as to germination. We know it will grow and give the greatest satis¬ 
faction. 
Making the Lawn 
While it is absolutely essential that good seed be used in the making of a lawn, 
there are other elements that enter in, such as the proper preparation of the soil and 
the absence of manure that contains weed seeds. The soil should be well dug and 
evenly raked, after which the grass seed should be sown by hand, half the quantity in 
one direction and half at right angles to it. The grass seed is more evenly distributed 
by sowing it in this manner. After seeding, rake thoroughly with a steel rake and roll 
the surface until packed down hard and smooth. Grass seed may be sown in early 
spring, after hard freezing is over, until as late as the middle of June, but not during 
hot, dry weather. It may again be sown from September 1st to the middle of October, 
or even later if the weather is warm and not too dry. For a thick, velvety sod, it is 
necessary to sow the seed thickly,—one quart to every 100 square feet is not too much.
