Fall is the Best Season for Making Lawns 
HOMEBUSH 
Evergreen 
Lawn Mixture 
For several years we have been compounding and 
testing formulas of the finest lawn grass seeds, en¬ 
deavoring to find a lawn grass mixture superior to that 
of our former "Best" mixture. The result of these 
tests is "Homebush" Evergreen Lawh Mixture, a com¬ 
bination of the finest recleaned grasses which produces 
a luxuriant, deep green, velvety turf that will stand 
up under our trying conditions of sunshine and drought. 
At our display-ground, "Homebush Farm," in prep¬ 
aration for our Tulip Show, a lawn of about two acres 
was sown with this mixture on September 15, 1934. 
In the short period of eight months was developed a 
beautiful carpet of closely interwoven, firm, elastic 
turf which had the appearance of an old, established 
lawn with years of care and attention, arousing the 
admiration and comment of thousands of visitors. 
We can highly recommend this mixture to give a 
perfect and permanent lawn. Can be had with or with¬ 
out White Clover, as desired. Pt., 35c; qt., 65c; 
4 qts., $2.25; pk., $4.00; bu. (20 lbs.), $15.00. 
RENOVATE AND BUILD LAWNS AFTER RAVAGES OF SUMMER 
DROUGHT AND JAPANESE BEETLE 
The fall season, from August 1 5 to October 1 5, is the best time to sow 
Lawn Grass Seed. The fall rains hasten germination and enable the roots 
to become well established before freezing weather sets in. Growth is 
resumed with the first thaws of early spring and the roots are strengthened, 
while the seed sown in the spring is just undergoing germination. A lawn 
grown in this way will endure summer droughts better than a spring- 
sown lawn. 
Waterer's "Super" Lawn Grass Mixture 
FORMERLY WATERER'S "BEST" 
A combination of various American and European types of fine-leaved, 
deep-rooting grasses of interweaving habit, that flourish under the trying 
conditions of our hot, dry summers, and good, bad and indifferent soils, 
growing during different periods of the year, so that it maintains a close, 
velvety surface which does not burn brown in summer and is not killed by 
hard freezing. Highly recommended. Pt., 30c; qt., 50c; 4 qts., $1.75; 
pk., $3.25; bu. (20 lbs.), $12.00. 
Waterer's Mixture for Shady Places 
There are always spots under trees and in the shadow of buildings 
where the sun-loving grasses will not grow. For places of this kind we 
have prepared a careful mixture of those grasses which naturally thrive in 
the shade. This mixture consists of the highest grade of recleaned seeds, 
and should produce a good lawn in difficult shady places. Even shade- 
loving grasses will not grow under trees without being watered because the 
tree roots are very greedy and absorb the moisture from the surface 
quickly. Pt., 30c; qt., 50c; 4 qts., $1.75; pk., $3.00; bu. (20 lbs.), 
$1 1 . 00 . 
Waterer's Special Evergreen Lawn Mixture 
is composed of the best natural lawn grasses in the proper proportions of 
enough varieties to insure a good stand of grass in a wide diversity of 
soils and situations. It includes sorts for both dry and damp soils, for acid 
and limy ground, and, in fact, there are seeds of enough varieties for dif¬ 
ferent purposes to make sure of a smooth even stand and a lawn con¬ 
tinually green and flourishing under almost all ordinary conditions of 
climate, and able to withstand hard usage. Pt., 25c; qt., 45c; 4 qts., 
$1.50; pk., $2.75; bu. (20 lbs.), $10.00.
