A Fruitland Mixture Lawn 
Special Southern Evergreen Lawn Grass 
“Fruitland Mixture” 
IF YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL LAWN THIS WINTER TRY “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 “Fruitland Mixture,” which has given most 
satisfactory results, and we have as yet never seen a better lawn grass for this section than our mixture. 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 dry, hot periods use a lawn sprinkler after sunset. Lawns are frequently injured by using the hose and 
putting on the water with too great force. All of our seed has been recleaned. 
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-decomposed 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 to be applied depending upon the fertility of the soil. Rake in well, and level off the * 
ground. \\ hen the surface has been raked perfectly smooth, the seed should be sown broadcast at the rate 
of 60 to 75 pounds to the acre. Rake lightly and then roll. In spring a top-dressing of bone meal should 
be applied. By following these directions no trouble should be experienced in obtaining a beautiful lawn. 
Note. —The best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall 
the better.
