MICHELL'S RELIABLE GRASS MIXTURES 
Co ncerning Fall Seeding 
The cool, moist weather of late summer and early fall afford an ideal condition for rebuilding a lawn that has suffered from drought, neglect, 
or the ravages of weeds. Seed sown at this time will show quicker growth and has a tendency to stool or spread out, a condition not present 
during the warmer months. Competition with weeds is practically eliminated at this season, since the latter are incapable of germination until 
spring, by which time fall-sown grass is thoroughly established and the weeds have little chance to thrive. Seed may be sown successfully as 
late as October 15 in the latitude of Philadelphia, but we would recommend the month of September for best results. 
Quantity to Sow for Lawns. We recommend sowing 1 quart to 100 square feet; 1 peck to 1000 square feet; 1 bushel to 4000 square feet; 
6 to 8 bushels per acre on new ground without grass. In renovating established lawns, use half the above quantities. 
Send for our booklet “Lawn Pointers” for further suggestions on the care of your lawn.

ally deficient in plant-food and moisture, and 
these conditions should be remedied for good 
results. Weight, 20 lbs. per bus. 30c. per pt.; 
qt., 55c.; 95c. for 2 qts.; 4 qts., $1.75; $3.00 per
