Two Fine Institutions Whose Lawns Are Greatly Admired 
New Conservation Building', Minnesota State Fair, 
Grounds Seeded with Gould's Reliable Lawn Seed 
Gould’s Shady Lawn Grass 
For seeding under trees and shaded areas. 
Where trees or houses shade the lawn the greater part 
of the day and keep out the sun, it is a problem to get 
grass to grow. Growing grass in shaded places seems 
at times almost hopeless, but this is often due to plant¬ 
ing the wrong kind of seed. Ordinary grass seed mix¬ 
tures will not make a good growth in places where there 
is little or no direct sunlight. In Gould’s Shady Lawn 
Grass we have combined a special mixture of those 
varieties of grass seeds that do well in the shade. One 
must keep in mind that lawns in shaded places require 
more fertilizer than do lawns in sunny places, especially 
where there are many trees and the ground becomes 
impoverished by a network of surface roots. Sow Gould’s 
Shady Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of 1 pound to 200 
square feet to produce a thick heavy sod.

Gould’s Special Shade M ixture (with Bent) 
This is a very fancy mixture of imported grasses and 
Creeping Bent, specially suited for densely shaded areas 
where ordinary grasses will not grow. Lawns seeded 
with Gould’s Special Shade Mixture have attracted a 
great deal of attention and brought much praise.

Gould’s Terrace Lawn Seed 
For embankments, terraces and steep hillsides. 
A variety of grasses that grow long, strong, spreading 
roots so as to withstand heavy rains from washing out 
the sod or soil. Gould’s Terrace Mixture is especially 
prepared for sowing on terraces, embankments and steep 
hillsides. The deep-rooted grasses not only prevent heavy 
rains from washing it out, but also resist drought to a 
marked degree. Seeds in this splendid mixture grow 
fast and produce a quicker sod than ordinary grasses 
do. The terrace should have an extra heavy sod, there¬ 
fore seed should be sown heavier than recommended for 
regular mixtures.

Lawns Need Fertilizer 
Beautiful lawns require proper care to keep them at 
their best. Cutting is a constant drain on lawn grasses 
and the beauty and health of your lawn is to a large 
extent dependent on the kind and amount of fertilizer 
or plant food you apply. See special fertilizer pages in 
this book for lawn fertilizers.

Kentucky Blue Grass 
This hardy perennial grass is one of the very best for 
our Northern climate and the base for most good lawn 
seed mixtures. Forms a dense sod but is very slow to 
germinate. It is advisable to mix red top or rye grass 
with Blue Grass when sowing, to act as a nurse crop. 
In established lawns Blue Grass can be sown alone. 
1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 3 lbs. 95c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 10 lbs., 
$2.90; 25 lbs., $6.75; 100 lbs., $24.00.

that thrives in the shade. 1 lb., 75c; 2 lbs., $1.40; 5 lbs., 
$3.40; 10 lbs., $6.75. 
Red Top 
Makes an excellent sod but is not as permanent as Blue 
Grass when clipped close. Germinates quickly and for 
that reason makes an excellent nurse crop to sow with 
Blue Grass. 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 3 lbs., 95c; 5 lbs., $1.50; 
10 lbs., $2.90; 25 lbs., $6.75; 100 lbs., $24.00.

lawn in a short time. Does not live as long as Blue 
Grass. Used mostly as a nurse crop. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
$1.00; 10 lbs., $1.90; 25 lbs., $4.50; 100 lbs., $17.00. 
SOD 
We do sodding or can supply you with sod. Let us 
give you an estimate. 
Nutria Peat Moss 
For lawns and gardens. 
Nutria Peat is a high lime granulated peat, clean, odor¬ 
less and pleasant to work with. It is an excellent soil 
builder. It will lighten clay or heavy soils and build 
up sandy or light soils. It conditions and changes 
otherwise poor soil into one of rich, mellow texture. 
Nutria Peat Moss will hold 15 times its weight in mois¬ 
ture, thus soil does not dry out as quickly and needs 
less watering. Makes an excellent top dressing for new 
or old lawns. Peat is also valuable to use in the garden 
to give the soil that mellow texture and prevent crust¬ 
ing. Is almost as cheap as ordinary black earth. Large 
bag, 90c; 2 bags, $1.50; 3 bags, $2.00; 2 cubic yard load 
(equal to 20 bags), $5.00, delivered within the city limits 
of St. Paul. 
Black Earth 
Genuine, University tested, high mineral earth. Load, 
more than two yards, $4.00; delivered in St. Paul.
