VELVETY 
LAWNS 
from 
Sonderegger’s 
Clean Seeds 
Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass 
One pound of this seed will make a per¬ 
fect stand on 200 square feet. Figure 
your seed on that basis. Spade the ground 
about 6 inches deep. Rake the ground. 
Now apply 3 to 4 pounds of Vigoro per 
100 square feet. Rake again lightly. 
Wait from two days to a week before 
sowing. If there is no rain during that 
time sprinkle the soil. Sow, rake lightly, 
then roll to pack the ground. Apply a 
cover of fine cut straw, or better, of Peat 
Moss, soak the lawn down heavily. A 
week or ten days later roll once more. 
During the first summer do not allow 
the new lawn to get dry, have your 
sprinkler going two or three times a week 
during dry weather. This is the absolutely 
safe and sure way of getting not only a 
lawn, but a most perfect lawn. One that 
feels like the nap of a deep-cushioned 
rug. You can leave out the Vigoro appli¬ 
cation, leave off the cover with fair re¬ 
sults if weather conditions are favorable. 
But if you follow my instructions com¬ 
pletely you can gamble on having a spot¬ 
less, beautiful lawn, no matter what the 
weather might be. Fertilize with Vigoro, 
water, use good seed, roll and water. 
There is no substitute for this tested 
process. Per lb., 38c; 3 lbs., 89c: 5 lbs., 
$1.39, postpaid. 
Six pounds or more for 23c per lb., not 
prepaid. 
White Dutch Dwarf Clover 
Figure one pound to 300 square feet. Sow 
and care just like for blue grass. I would 
not suggest that you sow this clover 
alone. However, mixed in with the blue 
grass the clover will show up better the 
first year. Later on the blue grass will 
eat up the clover. The latter is therefore 
a nurse to the blue grass. Per lb., 59c; 
3 lbs., $1.45, postpaid. 
Sonderegger’s Special Lawn 
Grass Mixture 
Contains in the proper proportion the 
Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass and White 
Dutch Dwarf Clover, properly mixed so 
as to make a good even stand. Sow just 
like described under Fancy Kentucky 
Blue Grass, no difference in the care. 1 
have always found that this special mix¬ 
ture is superior to a straight blue grass 
sowing. Extra fine, choice seed, per lb., 
42c; 3 lbs., 89c; 5 lbs., $1.39, postpaid. 
10 pounds or more for 23c per lb., not 
prepaid. 
Vigoro 
The Best Fertilizer Ever Produced. 
Use it freely not only in lawns, any place 
In your garden, on your trees, shrubs, 
even on your pot flowers. When you use 
Vigoro you are taking no chances. The 
leading gardeners are using it, land¬ 
scapers find it the key to success. 
Vigoro builds up the soil, gives it what 
plant life requires, a balanced ration of 
plant food. It is economical to use, its 
price is in no comparison to the wonder¬ 
ful results it gives. This is why I say: 
Use more Vigoro. 12 oz. pkt., 20c; 5 lbs.. 
85c, postpaid. Not prepaid: 5 lbs., 50c; 
10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.50; 
100 lbs., $4.00. 
FARM.... FIELD SEEDS 
guaranteed 1935 crop 
Any farmer who is buying seed this spring should give this a careful thought: 
The great drought of 1934 put seed prices up to the highest levels in years. Seed men 
expected enormous demands in spring 1935. Dust storms, the outlook for 1935 being 
discouraging, the prevailing high prices, all this cut down field seed sales. This 
left the warehouses full of seeds, most of them of the 1933 crop. With the 1936 
sowing season coming on the large holders will open the flood gates. They know the 
farmer needs seed, they know the farmer Is now in a position to buy, and they figure 
on disposing of their 3-year-old seed to farmers that look only for low prices. 
Fortunately, I was practically sold out on seeds in the spring of 1934. In 1935 my 
stock was extremely short, seed crops here were a failure in 1934. I had to ship seeds 
in, the prices were high, I bought only what I had sold. When the new 1935 crop rolled 
in, for which I had contracted, you could have put on a couple of scoop shovels all the 
field seeds plus the sweepings that was left in my warehouse. That's good luck, for 
you and for me both. My seeds of the 1935 crop are not plentiful, not too low in price, 
but much lower than prices of last year, however, 
they are clean , fresh , of highest germination 
and that is what counts. This catalog is going to the press in November. Prices on 
large quantities are not certain enough to quote them to the penny. I will quote you 
prices any time during the sowing season. Just drop me a card stating quantities 
and varieties wanted.
