“Safety-First” Purest Lawn Grass Seed 
It is safest and cheapest to buy the very purest and best White Cl'over and Blue Grass 
seed for your lawn, because you avoid seeding’ your lawn with the noxious weeds found in 
cheap g'rass' seeds, and g'et so much hig’her g'ermination that a pound of the best will cover 
as much as two pounds of the cheap, chaffy, low g'erminating' seed. 
For the Lawn’s Sake 
Lawns may be started or old ones renewed 
or renovated any time from early spring to 
October. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, 
leveled and allowed to settle, then leveled 
again. The more care before sowing the seed 
the better the results. Seed will wash to the 
low spots and make your lawn spotted. Sow 
about one part clover to three parts blue 
grass. Use not less than pound to 200 square 
feet. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some 
more crosswise, so as to avoid streaks. Rake 
well before and after sowing. Water gently so 
often that soil never dries out until lawn is 
green. Clover comes quickly. Blue grass 
comes slowly but hangs on like grim death 
after gets a foothold. Clover draws nitrogen 
from the air and enriches the ground for itself 
and the blue grass. 
Old lawns should be re-seeded and fertilized 
from time to time. Use only the purest seed. 
Never be afraid of sowing too much seed, nor 
too often. Dandelion and other weed seeds are 
blown or carried on to the lawn. Give the 
lawn a break by sowing good pure grass seed 
several times a season to compete with dande¬ 
lion seed.

No Iris ’Till July 
Write NOW for Special 
Summer Iris Price List 
With the origination of new and wonderfully 
improved varieties of Iris, there has been a 
great awakening in the Iris world in the last 
few years. 
Colors and combinations of colors never 
dreamed of in the past have appeared. The 
size of blossoms as well as plants and stems 
has increased beyond fondest expectations. 
Luckily, I have been adding the best of the 
introductions from year to year and am in a 
position to offer you healthy stock of these 
new varieties at prices within allowance of 
your budget. 
Here in “Sunny Colorado” our favorable cli¬ 
mate permits increasing Iris stocks rapidly in 
order to give you the best kinds at the most 
reasonable prices, yet our winters are cold 
enough to kill off any variety not hardy 
enough to do well in any part of the country. 
The best time to plant Iris is in the summer 
or fall. I offer no Iris in the spring, but con¬ 
centrate my digging and shipping between the 
5th of July and about the 15th of October. 
My new Iris price list will be ready about 
June 15th. This list will not be sent to all on 
my regular mailing list, but to those who 
bought Iris of me in 1936, and all others who 
ask for it. 
I want you to have my 1937 Summer Iris 
List, but how am I to know who wants it 
unless you tell me? It is up to you to help 
me out. 
Send me word any way you find most con¬ 
venient. Write a postcard or letter, or make 
a notation at the bottom of your order and 
I’ll see that a copy of this list reaches you as 
soon as printed. Plan now to add some of the 
beautiful new Iris originations to your garden 
next summer.!
