SIGMUND TARNOK & COMPANY 
Special Southern Evergreen Lawn Grass 
“Fruitland Mixture” 
IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL LAWN THIS WINTER, TRY OUR “FRUITLAND MIXTURE” 
For n 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 “Fruitland Mixture,” which has given most satis¬ 
factory results 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 fre¬ 
quently 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 germination. Dur¬ 
ing prolonged droughts it pays to water daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artificially water¬ 
ed, requires that this be repeated regularly. 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. The ground must be first thoroughly prepared by being plowed as deep •• 
possible, and then sub-soiled; harrowed, and all stones removed. If the area cannot be plowed, then spade it 
up carefully and thoroughly. Apply a liberal amount of thoroughly rotted stable manure, turn this under and 
harrow. If this is not available then nse sterilized heep manure at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre, or 
500 to 800 pounds of bonemenl: rake in well and level off the ground. When the surface has been raked 
perfectly smooth, the seed should be sown broadcast at the rate of (50 to 75 pounds to the acre (a space 210 
x 210 feet). Rake lightly, thoroughly covering the seed, then roll. If the space is too small fur rolling, or 
if you do not possess or cannot procure a roller, firm the soil with a plank. When the weather is very hot 
and dry, do not mow the lawn as frequently or as losely as when weather conditions are more favorable. 
A light reseeding on established lawns each Autumn will take 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. 
NOTE—The best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall the 
better. Never attempt to muke a lawn during very dry or very windy weather.
