Perfegro Lawn Grass Seeds 
For making a new lawn or for reseeding 
established lawns, use our special recleaned 
grass seed. 
There is nothing that will improve the ap¬ 
pearance of your home so much as a well- 
kept lawn with a flower bed or two and a 
liberal planting of shrubs along the borders. 
To have a good lawn it is necessary that you 
get your soil in fine condition, that you sow a 
sufficient quantity of good seed, and that you 
take care of the grass after you have a stand. 
Our Lawn Seed has all been thoroughly re¬ 
cleaned, is of high purity and germination. 
Sow at the rate of 1 pound to 150 to 200 
square feet. 
When making a new lawn, be sure that the 
soil is well drained and that a sufficient 
amount of fertilizer has been incorporated in 
the soil, using a fertilizer rich in plant food. 
As a top dressing, use pulverized sheep man¬ 
ure or a highly concentrated commercial fer¬ 
tilizer, avoiding barnyard manure, which is not 
only unsightly, but contains large quantities 
of weed seed as well.

places. They are the finest and most costly of all

to crowd out weeds. It is fine for putting greens, 
etc. Postpaid: Lb., $1.35; 5 lbs., $6.25; 10 lbs., $11.50;
