LAWN GRASS SEED 
A GOOD well kept lawn is not only a beautiful and essentially a necessary feature of our 
home and grounds, but it materially enhances the value of the property. 
We are interested in your lawn by selling you the best obtainable seeds and fertiliz¬ 
ers for your particular situation. You will be using false economy by saving a few cents by 
buying cheap seeds from inexperienced seed dealers, which usually result in the added ex¬ 
pense of frequent repatching of weedy, faulty spots, or eventually replanting the whole lawn. 
In preparing a new lawn, of filling in an old one, only the best quality of seed should 
be used. Higher germination, freeness from noxious seed and general appearance are then 
assured. Only good recommended fertilizers should be used. Bone meal is probably most 
largely used—free from weed seed and lasting, although pulverized sheep manure and sev¬ 
eral other well known brands are used with good results. 
Many lawn experts say that around September first is probably the best time to make 
a new lawn or refurnish the old one. Fall rains, cooler weather and fever weeds are good 
reasons for this advice. In spring—early April is better than late May or June for best re¬ 
sults because of the hot weather, less rain, weed trouble, decreasing growing conditions 
quite materially, although with proper care, grass seed can be sown most any time. 
Water is very essential to the lawn if applied knowingly. There is one safe rule for 
watering the lawn, garden, etc. Don’t water until necessary and then soak. Shallow water¬ 
ing every day causes roots to the surface where they will usually dry out and wilt when 
sun shines. So, when you water the lawn, soak thoroughly to bottom of roots and it will 
not need watering nearly so often. 
Our long experience in our line of business has caused us to study soil and climatic con¬ 
ditions of this vicinity and has enabled us to know lawn requirements as to seeds and fer¬ 
tilizers. We have made up certain mixtures of grass seeds most suitable to meet the neces¬ 
sary conditions whether clay or sand, wet or dry, as the case may be. 
We also carry other varieties of grass seed for special or peculiar conditions and gladly 
offer our service in assisting you to have “that perfect lawn.” 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
This is the same mixture of grasses that we have sold for fifty years with utmost satis¬ 
faction. Nothing but the highest grades and cleanest seeds are used. A pound sows 10 x 20 
feet of bare ground. Price: 1 lb. 50c; 3 lbs. $1.40; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4.25; 25 lbs. and over 
40c per lb. 
This is our well known and increasingly popular mixture of Grass Seeds that will actu¬ 
ally make a lawn, no matter how shady nor what makes the shade. Sown early, before the 
leaves on the trees get started, it will come up promptly and stay all summer. Under Maples 
and Elms, it is well to put on a light sowing of fertilizer three or four times during the sea¬ 
son and a good soaking, when necessary, due to the demands of the tree roots, which usu¬ 
ally fill the ground and will cause any grasses to succumb, but in most shady places, SHADI- 
LAWN will survive better than any other. 1 lb. 50c; 3 lbs. $1.40; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4.25; 25 lbs. 
or over 40c per lb. 
CREEPING BENT MIXTURE 
In some localities a tough grass is required that will withstand rough treatment. On 
Putting Greens it has been found that the Bent Grasses best meet the conditions. This 
mixture has a liberal proportion of Bent Grass seed and will give that fine tough sod so much 
desired. A pound sows 15x20 feet. Price: 1 lb. 90c; 3 lbs. $2.60; 5 lbs. $4.25; 10 lbs. $8.25; 25 lbs. 
and over 80c per lb.
