The view of a beautiful home is often spoiled by a ragged lawn while often a humble cottage is made attrac¬ 
tive by a well kept lawn. It is not a hard matter to start or build up a velvety green lawn from seeds—assisted 
with a well balanced fertilizer such as Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing. 
Remember—a visitor sees your lawn before he sees your home; make yours attractive.

Bermuda Grass is without a doubt the one 
best grass for lawns in the South. We are 
now able to offer you this wonderful grass in 
the hulled seed. This operation hastens ger¬ 
mination, as the hulled seed will germinate 
in seven to ten days from time of planting 
and will prove to be a boon to new home 
builders who wish to establish a new lawn in 
a minimum of time. Using seed is so much 
less expensive than sod. 
This seed should be used at the rate of five 
pounds or more to each 1,000 square feet. 
March, April and May are the best months 
for sowing.

NICHOLSON’S FANCY BERMUDA GRASS 
SEED (Cynodon Daetylon). Will grow on 
almost any soil, and is the finest grass to sow 
in the South for summer lawns. In order 
to have the best success in the growing of 
Bermuda Grass the seed should be planted in 
the spring or late summer, when the weather 
is warm or moist. If sown before a wet spell 
the seed will come up in a very short time 
after rain. Have the ground well prepared, 
then sow the seed broadcast. After the sow¬ 
ing run a roller over the land so as to firm 
the surface, as Bermuda Grass requires a 
NICHOLSON’S MIXED SHADY LAWN 
GRASS. Especially prepared for shady places 
where Bermuda will not grow, such as spots 
under trees, etc. Before sowing cut out as 
many of the surface roots of the trees as 
possible, as these sap the life of the soil. 
Loosen the top of the soil, then give a top 
dressing of Nicholson’s Pulverized and Steril¬ 
ized Sheep Manure. Sow the grass seeds and 
rake them in lightly, keeping them well 
watered during the summer. One pound will 
sow 10x20 feet, the equivalent of 200 square 
feet of space. Lb., 75c; 2 lbs.. $1.40, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $5.00. Please write for 
prices in large lots. 
NICHOLSON’S SPECIAL MIXED WIN¬ 
TER LAWN GRASS. This is a mixture of 
grasses that have proven the best sorts for 
winter lawns in the South. You can sow the 
seed on your Bermuda lawn or it can be just 
as successfully grown where there is no es¬ 
tablished lawn. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 10 lbs., $3.50. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
KENTUCKY BLUE (Poa Pratensis). This 
grass is used for winter lawn and shady spots 
in the South. We do not recommend it except

seed. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 80c, postpaid. Not pre¬

Nicholson’s Mixed Shady Lawn Grass 
PLANT YOUR LAWN WITH CARE 
In planting 1 Bermuda or other small grass seeds it is best to have the land thoroughly cleaned before 
planting. The seeds may then be scattered over the land by hand, or by using a small hand seeder, such as 
is listed in this catalog. After sowing, a harrow or hand rake should be used, which will mix the seeds with 
the soil so they will be covered, then keep ground wet by frequent sprinkling, until the grass comes up to a 
sufficient stand, after which it may be necessary to irrigate a few times, if moisture is lacking, until the grass 
is large enough to take care of itself. In places where it is not convenient to sprinkle or irrigate, the plant¬ 
ing should be done when there is a good season in the ground, and the land thoroughly rolled immediately 
after the final harrowing. This will pack the top soil so that there will be very little evaporation, and the 
moisture thus con erv a d will be ample bo cause the seeds to germinate. We believe if you follow these direc¬ 
tions carefully when planting small grass seeds you will have little or no trouble.
