Russel l-lfeckle's Lawn Grass Seed 
Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 inches. After¬ 
wards harrow or rake carefully, pulverize all lumps and re¬ 
move all large stones. If the soil is shallow, procure a sup¬

5 inches. Soil may be enriched by bone meal or well-rotted 
manure wherever necessary, then rake level and roll the soil 
well to make a solid bottom. Scatter the seed evenly over 
Evergreen Lawn Grass 
Our Evergreen Lawn Grass is a mixture of grasses that 
are adapted to lawn making, and contains none of the coarse 
grasses nor those that grow in tufts or clumps. No one 
grass makes an ideal lawn grass, so we have put into our 
Evergreen a well-balanced mixture of grasses that are at 
their best during different months of the year, will give a 
beautiful green growth at all seasons, and will make a rich, 
deep green, velvety lawn in as short a time as possible. 
Shady Spot Lawn Grass 
Only a few grasses will grow satisfactorily in the shade. 
Among the grasses best adapted to this purpose are Poa 
Trivialis and Red Fescue. These grasses should be the base 
of all mixtures for shady lawns and woods. Shady Spot 
Lawn Grass contains a large proportion of these two grasses 
besides other adapted turf-making grasses that will blend 
and make a thick velvety sod. 
the surface at the rate of 60 or 75 pounds per acre. Rake 
seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil 
is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does 
while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. When 
the grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and 
repeat until the grass has become firm. For small areas’ use 
one pound lawn seed to 20x20 or 400 square feet. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Adapted for shady locations, and requires rich soil. It 
will do well where lime is used in the ground. Fine for 
lawns, also for pasture, where soil is suitable. Sow in Feb¬ 
ruary, March and April, also in the fall. One pound sows 
20 by 20 feet, or 400 square feet; S'O to 100 pounds to the 
acre. 
Winter Rye Grass 
For winter lawns- This grass is becoming more popular 
each year. When sown in the fall, which is the proper sea¬ 
son, Winter Rye Grass remains green all through the win¬ 
ter. Sown on top of Bermuda in October or November. For 
lawns use 1 lb. to 10 by 20 feet.
