Shady Spot 
Lawn Seed 
In many lawns there are trees which shade 
parts and sometimes nearly all the lawn, leav¬ 
ing unsightly places at times. Ordinary lawn 
seed does not give satisfactory results under 
these conditions. For sowing in such places 
we recommend the use of Special Mixture for 
Shady Places. In preparing such places for the 
reception of grass seeds we recommend the use 
of slaked lime quite liberally (at least 50 lbs. 
to 1000 ft.). The lime sweetens the soil and 
aids wonderfully in the growth of the grass. 
1 pt. 20c., 1 qt. 30c., 2 qts. 55c., 4 qts. $1.00, 
8 qts. SI.75, 1 bus. S6.00. 
Pt., qt. and 2 qt. pkgs. mailed free at prices 
quoted. Larger quantities purchaser pays transit. 
The grasses used in making this special mix¬ 
ture are only those which are well adapted for 
growing in the shade, which in their natural 
and wild state grow and mature under these 
conditions.

land, or if they have certain varieties to include in their mixture, we are only too pleased to serve them in (his way, for
