LAWN GRASS SEED and best MIXTURES 
C OMMERCIAL LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are many; 
and their composition varies materially to meet the price 
minimums of prospective purchasers. These are too often 
overloaded with fast growing, quick-effect but short-lived 
varieties, which at the season’s end leave your lawn spotty, 
weedy and unsatisfactory. We have never tried to compete 
with the “cheap” offers, either in mixture or in the varying 
grades of seed units. We pay for fancy selection, highest 
test and maximum purity. Our mixtures are well balanced, 
so that there is a generous proportion of one base or perma¬ 
nent grass, with a fixed formula for proportions of certain 
other types which influence the perfect expression of a lawn 
throughout the entire season.

How to Make a Lawn 
The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful 
lawn lies most largely in the thorough preparation before a 
seed is sown. If there is grading to be done, the top soil to 
the depth of 6 to 8 inches should first be removed, to finish 
with after the grade is complete. 
This should be thoroughly harrowed and raked to reduce to 
as fine a condition as possible, as well as to level it, as nothing 
detracts so much from the appearance of a lawn as an uneven 
surface. Sow the seed as early in the spring as convenient,* 
the earlier the better if the soil is in good condition, scatter¬ 
ing it in both directions at right angles to each other, which 
will give a more even distribution. After the seed has been 
sown it should be raked lightly, then thoroughly rolled. 
No one kind of grass will make a lawn that will keep green 
all through the season, but a mixture of several is essential. 
Our Velvet Sod Mixture is such a scientifically arranged com¬ 
bination, giving quick, sure and satisfying results unsurpassed 
by any general lawn mixture on the market.
