Garden Club 
Shady Lawn 
Mixture 
— This fine Gar- 
* den Club mixture 
jJ lb. is a scientific com¬ 
bining of grasses 
that thrive under trying condi¬ 
tions, and is especially designed 
for the deeply treed lawn, or 
for any dry and somewhat sun¬ 
less location. It is composed 
of that hardy basic grass, Ken¬ 
tucky Blue; Chewings Fescue, 
a grass of low moisture require¬ 
ment which does well in poor 
soil or dry shaded areas; Poa 
Trivialis, a deep forest variety 
that thrives on little sunlight; 
and those fast growing grasses, 
Red Top and Rye Grass. This 
well rounded mixture meets the 
needs for almost any special condition, growing sturdily in deep 
shade, where trees take heavy toll of moisture, along fences where 
there is little sun, in corners where the earth seems reluctant to 
grow anything with conviction and enthusiasm. Sow Shady Lawn 
in these spots, give it just ordinary good care and you will have 
a fine stand of compact, velvety and very hardy grass. Because 
densely shaded soil is usually sour it is wise to rake in an applica¬ 
tion of slacked lime before seeding.

A LAWN MUST HAVE GOOD CARE 
The best time to plant is very early in the spring or in the fall 
between Aug. 15th and Oct. 1st. 
The New Lawn It will require one pound of seed for each 250 
to 350 square feet. Mark off the lawn in sections this size and use 
measured amount of seed for each plot to insure even distribution. 
Spade the ground thoroughly, rake it smooth and sow. Roll with 
a heavy roller and sprinkle thoroughly. Keep lawn well sprinkled 
during germination. Good heavy waterings once or twice a week 
are better than daily sprinklings. Fertilizer at the rate of 2 lbs. 
for each 100 sq. feet, should be applied twice a year. The first 
application in April or Mlay and the second in July. 
Reseeding the Old Lawn It will require one pound of seed 
for every 600 square feet. Scratch bare spots with a rake, sow, 
roll with heavy roller and sprinkle thoroughly. Keep well sprinkled 
while grass is germinating and continue regular care when grass 
: is grown.
