DRY LAND PASTURE—Mixed especially 
for the regions between the Cascades and 
Rocky Mountains, and on good, common 
wheat land. Try this mixture, as we believe 
that it will give you best possible results. 
Sow 20 pounds per acre. Write for Prices. 
MIXTURE FOR BURNED-OVER LAND— 
In grading and cleaning grasses and clovers, 
we frequently find combinations that are 
difficult of separation and while the seeds 
are often of excellent germination and 
quality, they cannot profitably be separated 
and cleaned, so we blend them to produce 
pasture mixtures suitable for sowing on , 
burns and logged-off land, which at the 
price are splendid values and very economi¬ 
cal for such purposes. Postpaid, lb. 30c; 
10 lbs. $2.50.* Write for quantity prices. 
For Lawns, Golf Links 
PREPARING THE LAWN 
The generally used Blue Grass and White Clover 
mixture is quite satisfactory but does not produce 
the velvet-like appearance of some of the newer 
grasses which are being used in the best lawns. 
In preparing the seed bed the soil should be 
thoroughly leveled to insure against its settling 
and the surface should be loose enough so that j 
the seed will germinate readily. If the soil is light j 
and sandy granulated Peat Moss should be mixed 
with the surface soil. 
Lawn grass can be seeded very early in the 
spring and in many localities early fall seeding is 
satisfactory. If it is Impossible to keep the surface 
moist, a light covering of straw or lawn clippings 
will protect the surface from baking. After the 
grass seed has germinated this cover can be 
removed. 
It requires about 1 lb. of lawn grass seed to 
400 sq. feet of area. If you desire the very best 
lawn, we suggest using our Supreme Lawn Mixture 
which Is made up of the best grade of grass seeds. 
We believe that Bent grass should be used more 
generally for lawns, seding it alone. An application 
of Vigoro followed by sprinkling will increase the 
vigor of the grass.
