"SAFETY-fFI RST” Purest Lawn Grass Seed 
It is safest and cheapest to buy the very purest and best White Clover and Blue Grass

grass seeds, and get so much higher germination that a pound of the best will cover as much 
as two pounds of the cheap, chaffy, low germinating seed.

vitality, “rarin’ to go.” Sure fine. Lb. 75c;

Astoria Creeping Bent 
For making new lawns or renewing old. 
There are half a dozen or more varieties of 
Bent grasses. Astoria heads the list. Astoria 
starts quickly and goes farther. It creeps on 
top and under the ground. Seed very fine. Use 
pound for 300 to 500 square feet. Astoria Bent 
in sealed bags: % lb. 70c; lb. $1.35; 2 lbs. for 
$2.50; 3 lbs. for $3.60; 5 lbs. for $5.50, prepaid. 
(Bent does not thrive in all soils. Kentucky 
Blue Grass is more dependable.) 
Open Season for Sowing 
Lawn Grass Seed 
More and more, lawns are being started, and 
renewed, in summer and early fall—up to the 
middle of September or so. 
Some lawnmakers prefer summer sowing to 
spring planting of lawns. 
For the Lawn’s Sake 
Lawns may be started or old ones renewed 
or renovated any time from earliest spring to 
October. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, 
leveled and allowed to settle, then leveled 
again. The more care before sowing the seed 
the better the results. Seed will wash to the 
low spots and make your lawn spotted. Sow 
about one part clover to three parts blue grass. 
Use not less than pound to 200 square feet. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some 
more crosswise, so as to avoid streaks. Rake 
well before and after sowing. Water gently so 
often that soil never dries out until lawn is 
green. Clover comes quickly. Blue grass 
comes slowly but hangs on like grim death 
after gets a foothold. Clover draws nitrogen 
from the air and enriches the ground for itself 
and the blue grass. 
Old lawns should be re-seeded and fertilized 
from time to time. Use only the purest seed. 
Never be afraid of sowing too much seed, nor 
too often. Dandelion and other weed seeds 
are blown or carried on to the lawn. Give the 
lawn a break by sowing good pure grass seed 
several times a season to compete with dande¬ 
lion seed. 
HOW TO GROW IRIS 
Open Season for Iris. Iris may be reset any 
time when the ground isn’t frozen. Best time 
is from midsummer to last of September so 
the roots become well established before win¬ 
ter. July and August plantings make strong¬ 
est roots for blooming next season. 
The Iris increases by new shoots forming 
from eyes or buds at the sides of the division 
or ■‘toe’’ planted. In most sections the new 
shoots make new divisions strong enough to 
be detached and reset by early July. But a 
few weeks additional growth before replant¬ 
ing is advisable. If you have Iris shipped in 
July or early August, do not expect as large 
roots as would be sent later in the season. 
Set roots 12 to 20 inches apart, according to 
room. The closer they are set, the sooner they 
will need to be taken up, divided and reset. 
Even 12 inches should bloom three years. 
Cover the roots only an inch or so. They 
like to be near the surface. Tramp on the 
fleshy part of the root (the rhizome) and 
tramp hard, after it is planted. Keep watered 
for a few weeks until new growth starts. 
Don’t worry if the small threadlike roots are 
dried up when planting. New roots will start 
at once from the rhizome. If no rains, see 
ground doesn't dry out too much. 
Iris can’t stand wet feet. Always see that 
no water stands on them. If soil is not sandy, 
then better raise the beds or rows before 
planting, so good drainage is insured. 
From Oshkosh, B’gosh! ’’The Iris I received 
from you are now all in bloom or bud. Never 
have I seen anything so beautiful as Pres. 
Pilkington. It would be hard to say what is 
really best. I like Selene, Sensation, Black 
Wings, Mt. Royal, Eliz. Egelberg, Pluie d’ Or 
and many others.”—C. G. Young, Oshkosh,

NEW ICELAND POPPIES 
(Nudicaule. Hardy Perennial) 
(Sow the seed in summer or early fall 
for fine display next season) 
They are of graceful neat habit with bright 
green fern-like foliage, formed in tufts from 
which issue slender stalks about 15 inches 
high, bearing their brilliant flowers in endless 
profusion. Most useful for cutting, for which 
purpose pick when in bud. If the seed pods 
are picked off, they continue in flower the en¬ 
tire season. They remain evergreen through¬ 
out the winter, coming into bloom early the 
following spring. 
Iceland Poppies are valuable in a hardy bor¬ 
der or in a permanent rock garden. 
HEW ZEALAND MAMMOTH STRAIN. Mr. 
W. R. Toon, who developed this strain in 
New Zealand, says it is superior to the best 
he has tried from our country. A special 
mixture of pink, rose and pastel shades. 
Fine for cutting. Supply of seed limited. 
Pkt. 25c. 
SANDFORD’S GIANT STRAIN. (New.) A 
new, giant strain with flowers of wonderful 
substance carried on strong stems 2 to 3 
feet long. Many of the blooms measure 5 
inches in diameter. The range of colors is 
particularly fine, including many lovely deli¬ 
cate shades and combinations of tints. Pkt. 
20 c; % oz. $1.00. 
SUNBEAMS. (Mixed.) This is the result of a 
cross between the Shirley and Nudicaule 
types. The flowers are charming shades of 
orange, salmon, maize and other tints, an 
improvement over the original Iceland 
strain. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 50c. 
CHOICE MIKED. A better than ordinary 
mixture, made up by myself from choice 
strains and colors. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c. 
Hardy Biennial Canterbury 
Bells 
(Sow the seed in summer for fine 
display next season) 
I think the “Cup and Saucer” type of hardy 
Canterbury Bells is the most pleasing. You 
get some in this without “Saucers,” but they 
are also nice. Doubles out of place in a flower 
of this sort. 
So here are the most popular colors in the 
hardy “Cup and Saucer” type: 
DARK BLUE ROSE 
EIGHT BLUE WHITE 
Prices: Any of these 4 colors. Canterbury 
Bells, or all mixed, at, Pkt. 10c; (4 oz. 30c. 
Super Wired Wood Labels

grade of copper wired wood label of good size

order sent me by Colorado folks. No tax re¬ 
quired from other states. Verily, as the Den¬ 
ver Post says, “It’s a privilege to live in Colo¬ 
rado!” 
Fall Catalogue in September 
Will list, again, Iris. Also Peonies, Tulips, 
Hyacinths and other "Dutch Bulbs” for fall
