Special Southern Evergreen Lawn Grass, 
“Fruitland Mixture” 
IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL LAWN THIS WINTER, TRY OUR “FRUITLAND MIXTURE.” 
For a number of years we have tested many grasses 
to determine which ones would stand best in the South. 
We have finally succeeded in obtaining one, our “Fruit- 
land Mixture,” which has given most satisfactory re¬ 
sults, and we have not yet seen a better lawn grass for 
this section than our mixture produces. It is composed 
only of such grasses as have exhibited the greatest heat 
and drought-resisting qualities. These grasses are most 
carefully blended, resulting in a mixture that stands 
our hot weather better than any evergreen lawn grass 
that we have been able to obtain. Of course, during 
periods of intense heat and drought, the “Fruitland 
Mixture,” as well as all other evergreen lawn mixtures, 
will burn out more or less. During the hot, dry periods 
use a lawn sprinkler or hose and nozzle after sunset. 
Lawns are frequently injured by using the hose and 
putting on the water with too great force, especially 
when the sun is shining. All of our seed has been re¬ 
cleaned, is strictly free from weeds, and of high germi¬ 
nation. During prolonged droughts it pays to water 
daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artifi¬ 
cially watered, requires that this be repeated regularly. 
How to Make a Lawn—The ground should be first 
thoroughly broken up with a plow as deep as possible. 
If the area cannot be plowed, then spade it up carefully 
and thoroughly, applying a liberal amount of well- 
rotted stable manure. Incorporate this thoroughly with 
the soil. Apply 7-7-6 fertilizer (7 per cent phosphoric 
acid, 7 per cent nitrogen, and 6 per cent potash) at the 
rate of 500 to 1,000 pounds to the acre, the quantity 
applied depending upon the fertility of the soil, or an application of sterilized sheep manure (which produces 
no weeds), at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre, produces quick growth. Rake it well and level off the ground. 
When the surface has been raked perfectly smooth, the seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of 60 to 75 
pounds to the acre (a space 210 x 210 feet). Rake lightly, barely covering the seed, then roll. If the space 
is too small for rolling, or if you do not possess or cannot procure a roller, devise some means of tamping or 
firming down the soil. In Spring a top-dressing of bone meal should be applied. If the weather is dry at the 
time of seeding, and there is no prospect of rain, water the lawn with a lawn sprinkler or with a nozzle on the 
end of a hose, regulating the flow so it will fall 1 ightly on the ground. When the weather is very hot and dry 
do not mow the lawn as frequently or as closely as when weather conditions are more favorable. A light re¬ 
seeding on established lawns each Autumn will ta ke care of the bare spots and will insure a good, substantial 
turf. By following these directions, no trouble should be experienced in obtaining and keeping a perfect lawn. 
NOTK—The best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall the 
better.
