Archias' Shady Nook Lawn Mixture 
Suggestions for Making a Good Lawn 
First you must plant good, clean, solid seed, not chaff, weeds or 
cheap seed. For a good permanent velvety lawn, that you can be 
proud of, plant Archias’ Evergreen Mixture; a mixture of the very 
best recleaned permanent grasses such as Kentucky Blue Grass, 
Fancy Red Top, English Fescue Grasses and White Clover mixed 
in proper proportions according to our many years of experience in 
the making of fine lawns. 
Seeding may be done to best advantage in the fall or early spring, 
but grass seed can be planted with good results at almost any time 
during the spring or summer months. 
When making a new lawn thoroughly pulverize the surface about 
2 inches deep, rake fine and smooth, and at the same time it is 
advisable to work in some good fertilizer such as a mixture of pul¬ 
verized sheep manure and Vigoro or some other equally good fer¬ 
tilizer. Then, for best results, plant Archias’ Evergreen Mixture, 
1 pound to every 300 square feet, rake and seed in thoroughly, keep 
well watered and roll it occasionally. Grass must have plenty of 
water, and rolling packs the dirt down around the roots and pre¬ 
vents their drying out when the weather gets hot. 
To re-sced old lawns rake hard and thoroughly with a good steel 
tooth rake, then sow the seed and rake it thoroughly. After that
