Special Southern Evergreen Lawn Grass 
“Fruitland Mixture” 
IF YOU WANT A BEUTIFUL LAWN THIS WINTER, TRY OUR “FRUITLAND MIXTURE’' 
I* or a number of y»*ars we have tested many grasses to determine which- ones would stand best in the 
South. V e 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, 
i hose 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 shin¬ 
ing. All of our seed has been re-cleaned, is strictly free from weeds, and of high germination. During 
piolongod droughts It pays to water daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artificially watered, 
requires that this be repeated regularly. 
IIOW TO MAKE A LAWN. The ground must be first thoroughly prepared by being plowed as deep as 
possible, and then sub-soiled; harrowed, and all stones removed. If the area cannot be plowed, then spade 
if up carefully and thoroughly. Apply a liberal amount of thoroughly rotted stable manure, turn this un- 
<lei and harrow. If this is not available then use sterilized sheep manure at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the 
acre, or 500 to 800 pounds of bonemeal; 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 00 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 for 
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 laws each Autumn will take care of the bare spots and will in¬ 
sure a good, substantial turf. By following these directions, no trouble should be experienced in obtaining 
ami keeping a perfect lawn. 
NOTE—I he best period for making a lawn is from September to December. The earlier in the fall the 
better. Never attempt to make a lawn during very dry or very windy weather.
