AUGUSTA, GEORGI 
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 “Fruitland Mixture.’’ which has given most satisfactory 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 care¬ 
fully 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 Mix¬ 
ture,’’ 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 germination. During prolonged droughts it pays to water 
daily instead of only periodically. Grass, when artificially watered, requires that this be repeated regularly. 
HOW 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 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 use sterilized sheep manure at the rate of 1000 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 closely as when weather conditions are more favorable. A light reseed¬ 
ing 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 bet¬ 
ter. Never attempt to make a lawn during very dry or very windy weather.
