THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOME-GROUNDS, 
FURNISHES THE SETTING FOR THE HOUSE AND PUTS THE FINISHING TOUCH TO 
AN ATTRACTIVE HOME 
The production of grass-seed mixtures to meet the varying conditions of soil, situation, and climate has now reached the dignity of an exact 
science. Schling’s Mixtures, the result of years of experiment and experience, are compounded with the precision of a chemical formula 
and the seeds grown and selected with the most painstaking care, for vitality is no less important than variety. Where no very unusual 
conditions are present, we recommend unreservedly— 
Schling's Special Lawn Mixture 
Which, in a comparatively short time will produce a perfect and 
permanently evergreen lawn, a rich deep green in color, and of a 
close, thickly matted texture. This grass seed, as all the Schling 
Mixtures, is free from weeds, chaff and inert matter. 
Lb. 75c., 5 lbs. $3.25, 10 lbs. $6.00, 25 lbs. $14.00, 
100 lbs. $50.00 
Schling’s Shady Nook M ixture 
Has been specially developed to produce a rich, velvety greensward 
even in fairly dense shade—the only exception being under ever¬ 
greens and other low-branched trees where no grasses can possibly 
survive. In damp and especially shady spots, a frequent application 
of agricultural lime is advised to prevent the soil from becoming sour.
