Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 inches. After¬ 
wards harrow or rake carefully, pulverize all lumps and re¬ 
move all large stones. If the soil is shallow, procure a sup¬ 
ply of fine mold and spread over the surface to a depth of 
5 inches. Soil may be enriched by bone meal or well-rotted 
manure wherever necessary, then rake level and roll the soil 
well to make a solid bottom. Scatter the seed evenly over 
Evergreen Lawn Grass 
Our Evergreen Lawn Grass is a mixture of grasses that 
are adapted to lawn making, and contains none of the coarse 
grasses nor those that grow in tufts or clumps. No one 
grass makes an ideal lawn grass, so we have put into our 
Evergreen a well-balanced mixture of grasses that are at 
their best during different months of the year, will give a 
beautiful green growth at all seasons, and will make a rich, 
deeo green, velvety lawn in as short a time as possible. 
Shady Spot Lawn Grass 
Only a few grasses will grow satisfactorily in the shade. 
Among the grasses best adapted to this purpose are Poa 
Trivialis and Red Fescue. These grasses should be the base 
of all mixtures for shady lawns and woods. Shady Spot 
Eawn Grass contains a large proportion of these two grasses 
besides other adapted turf-making grasses that will blend 
and make a thick velvety sod. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Adapted for shady locations, and requires rich soil. It 
will do well where lime is used in the ground. Fine for 
lawns, also i;or pasture, where soil is suitable. Sow in Feb¬ 
ruary, March and April, also in the fall. One pound sows 
20 by 20 feet, or 400 square feet; 8'0 to 100 pounds to the 
acre. 
Winter Rye Grass 
For winter lawns. This grass is becoming more popular 
each year. When sown in the fall, which is the proper sea¬ 
son, Winter Rye Grass remains green all through the win¬ 
ter. Sown on top of Bermuda in October or November. For 
lawns use 1 lb. to 10 by 20 feet.

Lawn Grass Seed 
the surface at the rate of 60 or 75 pounds per acre. Rake 
seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil 
is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does 
while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. When 
the grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and 
repeat until the grass has become firm. For small areas use 
one pound lawn seed to 20x20 or 400 square feet. 
Cyclone Broadcast Seed Sower 
Will sow Timothy, Clover, Oats, Rye, Wheat, Millet, Lawn 
Grass Seeds, Peas, Sorghums, etc. Distributes evenly, 
works perfectly; has an agitating feed plate which insures 
a uniform flow of seed. Price, each, $2.25; postpaid, $2.45. 
Granulated Peat Moss 
A moisture-re- 
tain i n g humus. 
Quickly decays so 
that it is available 
for plant food. 
Por Lawns — To 
maintain the sup¬ 
ply of humus in 
the soil, to keep the 
grass roots cool, to 
conserve moisture 
and to help keep 
out weeds, it is de¬ 
sirable to mulch 
the lawn in late 
fall and early 
spring with a one- 
half inch layer of 
Swedish Peat Moss. Sprinkle it evenly, rake lightly with a 
bamboo rake, and water well. This will prevent the neces¬ 
sity of many waterings and will save both money and 
trouble. In watering, it is better to soak well once or twice 
a week than to sprinkle daily. An occasional good watering 
and plenty of Swedish Pe’at Moss incorporated in the soil, 
will attract the grass roots downward where they will be 
protected against severe hot spells. 
Peat Moss is excellent for potting bulbs, also for clayey 
soils, gravelly soils, for mulching roses, perennial flower 
beds, evergreens, etc. Price, per bushel bag, 50c; y z bale, 
$2.00; full bale, about 20 bushels, $3.00, P. O. B. Memphis.
