Lawn Qrass Seeds 
Making a lawn is a job that most of us only have to undertake once or twice in a 
life-time. We build lawns for permanence, and for that reason we OUGHT to go 
about it with the utmost care. We want the soil carefully prepared before planting 
the seed and we want the VERY BEST SEED OBTAINABLE. Grass seed is one item 
that it NEVER pays to shop around for and buy from whoever quotes the best price. 
The BEST is always the CHEAPEST in the long run. Seed stores are required to 
submit their seeds for tests of germination and purity while other stores are not 
made to do so. For that reason some stores, who do not specialize in seeds, buy, and 
sell, the cheapest grass seed that is offered them. 
BUY YOUR LAWN SEED FROM A SEED STORE 
Another thing to remember, when making a lawn, is that MANURE, in any form 
whatever, is not necessary, not advisable, and should NEVER be used. Any form of 
manure is liable to contain seeds of the most noxious weeds, and it is apt to contain 
germs of plant diseases that may, and probably will, give you trouble perpetually. 
NEVER USE MANURE IN ANY FORM ON YOUR LAWN 
A mulch of PEAT MOSS and feeding with CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS is the mod¬ 
ern and the best way to make and maintain a lawn.
