Value of a Lawn 
There is nothing more pleasing to the eye, that adds more 
beauty and value to the home than a beautiful well kept lawn. 
You never get tired of a good lawn and no home is complete 
without it. 
Since it is so important, and since it is to last for years, nothing 
in its construction should be slighted. By making a good lawn at 
the start, much worry, labor, and expense will be saved by the 
home owners afterwards.

Allen’s Evergreen Mixture 
For a Good, Clean, Quick Lawn 
This mixture is composed of the choicest grasses for lawn purposes, and 
is especially made to produce a crop of grass very quickly. 
We have had, where conditions were extremely favorable, a good stand 
ready for the mower in 3 weeks. This mixture contains no trash and is 
adapted to either clay, sandy, or loam soil, and should be applied at the 
rate of 1 pound to 300 square feet, or in the case of renovating an old lawn 
1 pound to 600 square feet, depending upon how thin the grass is. Price: 
per lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. By freight or express: 10 lbs., $2.75; 
20 lbs., $5.00. 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
One of the most fancy grasses that we have today. Is largely used in 
lawn making and starts growing early in the spring. Continuing until the 
ground freezes late in the fall. Price: Per lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
White Dutch Clover 
This is very good seed to use in renovating old lawns, especially on sandy 
soil, as the plant roots deeper than any other variety of grass, and is not 
affected so much by drought. Price: Per lb., 50c; 3 lbs., $1.40, postpaid. 
Shady Nook Mixture 
Have you a lawn that is shaded by trees ? If so, try a few pounds of our 
Shady Nook Grass Mixture, which is just what you need in order to raise a 
patch of fine, compact, velvety grass under such conditions. Shaded ground 
often becomes sour and in this case it would be necessary to give it an appli¬ 
cation of crushed limestone before seeding, applied at the rate of 25 pounds 
for 500 square feet. Seed at the rate of 1 pound to about 250 square feet. 
Price: Per lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. 
Renovate Your Lawn 
If your lawn is thin and patchy, sow our Evergreen Mixture at the rate 
of about 1 pound to every 500 square feet and press in with a roller, 
applying this a couple of seasons, and top dress in the winter with well 
rotted compost and your unsightly lawn can be made beautiful.
