Maintain Your Fine Lawn with Hunt’s Lawn Dressing Seed 
Hunt's Lawn Grass Mixtures 
HOW to Make a Lawn. To produce a good lawn 
- requires considerable work; 
do not make the mistake of trying to cheapen the preparation, 
for nowhere in the garden is the old axiom of “what is worth 
doing, is worth doing well,” better illustrated than in lawn¬ 
making. 
The soil must be deep; a good lawn cannot exist on poor soil. 
Plow the ground deep—a foot is none too much. Apply to the 
soil, before plowing, a heavy coating of well-rotted stable manure. 
Fresh manure carries too many weed seeds; its use should be 
avoided. If rotted manure is not available, use sheep manure or 
chemical fertilizers. 
Ground bone meal, 1 x /% tons to the acre, is a good lawn fer¬ 
tilizer, furnishing plant-food over a long period; 100 pounds of 
nitrate of soda and 100 pounds of dried blood to the acre should 
be applied at the same time; these furnish nitrogen for immediate 
use. Sheep manure at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre may 
be used instead of nitrate of soda and dried blood. When only 
a small lawn is being made, use 20 pounds of bone meal to 250 
square feet, impound each of nitrate of soda and dried blood, or 
6 pounds of sheep manure. Harrow and cross-harrow until the 
ground is thoroughly pulverized; the better harrowed the ground 
is, the better the grass will grow and the more permanent the lawn. 
An acre requires 175 pounds of seed, or 1 pound to each 150 square feet. 
For renovating use half this quantity. Harrow or rake the ground lightly, and 
roll with a heavy roller. 
Hunt’s Perfection Lawn Seed Mixture 
As the result of careful study and trials continuing for many years, 
this mixture contains the seeds of many different grasses with various 
virtues. The early-maturing type gives a quick greenness in the 
spring and early summer. The late types maintain spring freshness 
until the approach of winter. Only those varieties with deep, mois¬ 
ture-holding roots have been included, in order to overcome the 
prevailing dry tendencies of American summers, thus reducing the 
amount of artificial watering necessary for insuring an even, green, 
springy turf throughout the summer. Lb. 75 cts.; 20 lbs. $12.50; 100

on the remainder of the lawn. A new growth will soon appear cover¬ 
ing the whole surface with a thick turf.
