Clean Seeds 
This book is going to the press in November. While I am writing this, prices are 
most uncertain, in fact, I have never known seed prices to be more apt to either fall 
or go up as this year. It would be simple enough to give you below a list of prices. 
I could set them high enough to be sure to come out on them, but this is not my policy. 
I want to sell you good field seeds, and I want to sell them as low as possible, giving 
you the benefit of any saving I can make. For this reason I am going to print new 
price lists on field seeds every two weeks from January until June. All you need to 
do i6 to drop me a card for my latest price list on field seeds, and it will come 1 to' 
you by return mail. If you want me to quote freight rates please state in your card 
the quantity and variety of seed you may need. If you want a seed sample of any 
particular variety just say so in your card. 
Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass 
One pound of this seed will make a per¬ 
fect stand on 200 square feet. Figure 
your seed on that basis. Spade the ground 
about 6 inches deep. Rake the ground. 
Now apply 3 to 4 pounds of Vigoro per 
100 square feet. Rake again lightly. 
Wait from two days to a week before 
sowing. If there is no rain during that 
time sprinkle the soil. Sow, rake lightly, 
then roll to pack the ground. Apply a 
cover of fine cut straw, or better, of Peat 
Moss, soak the lawn down heavily. A 
week or ten days later roll once more. 
During the first summer do not allow 
the new lawn to get dry, have your 
sprinkler going two or three times a week 
during dry weather. This is the absolutely 
safe and sure way of getting not only a 
lawn, but a most perfect lawn. One that 
feels like the nap of a deep-cushioned 
rug. You can leave out the Vigoro appli¬ 
cation, leave off the cover with fair re¬ 
sults if weather conditions are favorable. 
But if you follow my instructions com¬ 
pletely you can gamble on having a spot¬ 
less, beautiful lawn, no matter what the 
weather might be. Fertilize with Vigoro, 
water, use good seed, roll and water. 
There is no substitute for this tested 
process. Per lb., 48c; 3 lbs., $1.32; 5 lbs., 
$1.92; postpaid. 
Six pounds or more for 32c per lb., not 
prepaid. 
White Dutch Dwarf Clover 
Figure one pound to 300 square feet. Sow 
and care just like for blue grass. I would 
not suggest that you sow this clover 
alone. However, mixed in with the blue 
grass the clover will show up better the 
first year. Later on the blue grass will 
eat up the clover. The latter is therefore 
a nurse to the blue grass. Per lb., 59c; 
3 lbs., $1.45; postpaid. 
Sonderegger's Special 
Lawn Grass Mixture 
Contains in the proper proportion the 
Fancy Kentucky Blue Grass and White 
Dutch Dwarf Clover, properly mixed so 
as to make a good even stand. Sow just 
like described under Fancy Kentucky 
Blue Grass, no difference in the care. I 
have always found that this special mix¬ 
ture is superior to a straight blue grass 
sowing. Extra fine, choice seed, per lb., 
48c; 3 lbs., $1.32; 5 lbs., $1.92; postpaid. 
10 pounds or more for 32c per lb., not 
prepaid. 
Vigoro 
The Best Fertilizer Ever Produced. 
Use it freely not only in lawns, any place 
in your garden, on your trees, shrubs, 
even on your pot flowers. When you use 
Vigoro you are taking no chances. The 
leading gardeners are using it, land¬ 
scapers find it the key to success. 
Vigoro builds up the soil, gives it what 
plant life requires, a balanced ration of 
plant food. It is economical to use, its 
price is in no comparison to the wonder¬ 
ful results it gives. This is why I say: 
Use more Vigoro. 12 oz. pkt., 20c; 5 lbs., 
65c; postpaid. Not prepaid: 5 lbs., 50c; 
10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.50; 
100 lbs., $4.00.
